Generation 8
I am seeking information on ZADOCK THOMAS who was born about 1769. Zadock married DICEA BAZEMORE on 7/12 Jan 1793 in Bertie Co., NC. She was the daughter of JESSE and FRANCES BAZEMORE. Bondsman and witness were: JAMES WILFORD and STEVENS GRAY. Wilford may have been a brother-in-law. Wilford was also bondsman for JORDAN THOMAS who married MILLEY LASSITER, 1795.

Zadock and Dicea moved to Christian Co. [later Trigg Co.], KY, possibly by 1800. In 1809 Zadock and Dicea sold 150 acres of land lying on the Cashie Swamp in Bertie Co., to TURNER BAZEMORE, Dicea's brother [Deed Book V, pp. 286, 291]. Land was patented to Zadock in Christian Co., KY on 18 Dec 1811, in a section which later became Trigg Co.

On 23 Oct 1815, presumably after the death of Dicea, Zadock married SALLY RUCKER RUTTER in Caldwell Co., KY, possibly her third marriage. Zadock and Sally had one child, MALINDA THOMAS [b: abt 1819] who married REUBEN HARRIS 31 Oct 1832, Caldwell Co., KY. Zadock died in Caldwell Co., KY in 1829, and his will was probated 20 Oct 1829 [Will Book A, p. 425].

Zadock is said to have had the following siblings:

--ELISHA THOMAS--m: POLLY BURNE on 15 Oct 1805 in Bertie Co., NC. Their children, most of whom are mentioned in Elisha's will [Bertie Co. Will Book 1, May, 1826], are said to have been:
--John Thomas
--George E. Thomas who lived in Haywood Co., TN.
--Patsy Thomas
--Martha Thomas
--Mary Thomas
--Rebecca Thomas

--[possibly] Dixon Thomas

--RICHARD THOMAS--m: SARAH BARNES, 1800, Christian Co., KY. Richard and Sarah's children are said to have been:

--John Thomas
--James Thomas
--Sally Thomas

--WINIFRED THOMAS--m: ISHAM WILFORD on 7 Sept 1801 in Bertie Co, NC. Zadock Thomas was authorized in 1823, in Trigg Co., KY, to administer the estate of Isham. Isham and Winifred's children are said to have been:
--Benjamin Bennet Wilford
--John Wilford
--Robert Wilford
--Orpah Wilford
