Thomas Gaddy info from Jim Gaddy website Gaddy, Thomas
(~1753 - ~1814) b. ABT. 1753 in Dale Parish, Chesterfield
Co., VA d. ABT. 1814 in Anson County, NC father: Gaddy,
Thomas(~1729 - ~1788) mother: Lucy, ?(*1731 - ) Thomas was
married at least twice, maybe 3 times. His will dated Feb.
1814 lists Millison as his wife but a sale of land in 1785
lists his wife as Amelia. A descendant of his daugter, Jane
"Sis" Gaddy Dabbs states in a DAR application that Thomas'
first wife was Jane. So it seems that he was married first
to Jane, second to Amelia and third to Millison. If he was
indeed married to Amelia in 1785 then she is probably the
mother of Samuel. Millison may not be mother to any of
Thomas' children. Anson County Land Record show that Thomas
Gaddy bought the following land: * 22 Jan. 1773 100 acres
in Anson Co. * 7 Dec. 1776 from William Leverett * 10 Apr.
1785 from James Gordon * date unknown from Malachi Watts *
1 Nov. 1794 from John Allen * Nov. 1797 from William May,
Jr. * 5 Oct. 1807 from John Duncan * 17 Apr. 1810 from
Thomas Hill * 21 Mar. 1812 from Rheuben Phillips This land
was in Gulledge Township on Jones Creek and Little Brown
Creek. Prior to the first land grant in 1773, applied for
in 1771, we have no record of where he lived.
Thomas served in the Revolutionary War from March 1776 to
September 1778. At the time of his enlistment he was living
in Anson County. He was in Captain Benjamin Colman's
Company, 2nd North Carolina Battalion commanded by Colonel
John Patton, White Plains. He also served in 5th North
Carolina Regiment, Darnal's Company.
