 __NOTOC__
 {{census complete}}{{page complete}}
+The Andrew L. Thomas family had a two story house on Thomas Road, (accessed by Zora Road). Eventually a cottage was built in front of it. The Thomas cottage was in North Carolina but right on the state line. It still stands, but is renovated. The last three children were born in the cottage, including [[Nancy Grace Thomas]], the youngest.  When the children were grown, the two story house was torn down. <br> Parents Andrew Lindsey Thomas & Nancy Rebecca Ashley  and some of their children are buried at nearby Flint Hill Baptist church.  The circumstances regarding the will of Andrew L. Thomas, as told by daughter Nancy Grace Thomas King, were as follows. Her father's first will left land to the sons, and money to the daughters.  His second will divided the property among all the children.  However, his wife tore up the second will, so the daughters were to received only money.   Son Charley  inherited the house, were he and his mother lived thereafter.  Charley was also made executor of the will, and as Nancy Grace Thomas was a minor, her share of the money was held in trust by him.  She never received her money, which was retained by her brother Charley. Nor was a marker placed on the mother's grave.
