Notes:

A birth certificate, or other civil record, which proves that Thomas was the son of John DeLoach has not been found. He is listed as such based upon the following circumstantial evidence: The 1840 Sullivan County Census lists John DeLoach with two sons between the age of 20-30. Thomas, and probably Nathan, could have been these sons. In the 1850 and 1860 Carter County censuses, Thomas has the household adjacent to John. There are no other DeLoach males listed in Northeastern Tennessee which could have been the father of Thomas. In the 1880 Carter County census, Thomas lists his father as being born in South Carolina. John was born in South Carolina.

Thomas married Perlina M. Oliver on 6 Oct 1842 in Carter County, , , Tennessee. Perlina (daughter of George R. Oliver and Susannah White) was born in Carter County, , , Tennessee; died after 1910 in Carter County, , , Tennessee; was buried in Siam Road, Elizabethton, Carter County, Tennessee. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The name of Perlina is spelled differently is almost every civil record concerning her. The spelling P E R L I N A will be used for this record. This comes from the records of Jackie and Dawn Peters of Elizabethton, TN. Jackie is a descendant of the Oliver family of Northeastern Tennessee, as is Perlina. According to Jackie's records, Perlina's parents were George R. Oliver and Susannah White. His GEDCOM has been imported to show the ancestry of Perlina. The records of Albert Grindstaff, Independence, Missouri, also lists this same lineage. Census records indicate that Perlina's DOB was between 1820 and 1830; it was probably 1825 as shown on the 1850 and 1900 censuses. She is listed on the following Carter County censuses: 1850 1860 1870 1880 1900 Paulina 25 Polina 33 Palena 50 Pulina 50 garbled 75 In the 1850 thru 1880, she is listed as the wife of Thomas. In the 1900 Carter County census, she is in the household of her son, William DeLoach, and his wife, Frances Oliver. The Carter County Quarterly Minutes for January 1902 include a court order awarding Pliny DeLoach $4.00 as a Pauper Present. In the Treadway Cemetery of Carter County, there are the following graves: Died William DeLoach 4 September 1927 Francis DeLoach 18 November 1939 Plina DeLoach ???
