Tax List1790Monongalia, West Virginia, United States [S2698:7]
Thomas John Jr. remained in Chester, PA when the family moved to Virginia. William John was born in about 1738, and his 3rd child, Thomas John, was born in about 1775 making him only 15 years old in 1790 (We know from her tombstone that his next older sibling, Lucinda Miller was born in 1773). James John was born about 1748 and left for Ohio in 1788. His 1st child, Thomas John, was born in about 1764, so could have possibly been as old as 26 years in 1790, but it is known that Thomas Sr. was still living here in 1791 when his youngest child, Mary, was born.
