The family of Moody Thomas, early in their marriage, were given lodging in a tenement house on the old Hipp farm, then belonging to Grace King Hipp.  Moody's young daughter Gladys would see her grandmother Thomas' carriage arrive when Mrs. Thomas came to visit her daughter, Nanny Grace Thomas King, who also lived on the Hipp farm.  Gladys' mother would send her up to the big house to see whose carriage it was.  It is from these recollections of Gladys Thomas Ferris that we know where the old Hipp farm was located.  Moody Thomas and Nancy Grace Thomas King were  siblings, and in-laws of Grace King Hipp.  They were also neighbors. The Thomas farm in SC was next to the Hipp farm, just across the border in NC.

[edit] NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Moody Archibald Thomas is not in my direct ancestry. He is 1 step removed in the following ways:


The family of Moody Thomas, early in their marriage, were given lodging in a tenement house on the old Hipp farm, then belonging to Grace King Hipp. Moody's young daughter Gladys would see her grandmother Thomas' carriage arrive when Mrs. Thomas came to visit her daughter, Nanny Grace Thomas King, who also lived on the Hipp farm. Gladys' mother would send her up to the big house to see whose carriage it was. It is from these recollections of Gladys Thomas Ferris that we know where the old Hipp farm was located. Moody Thomas and Nancy Grace Thomas King were siblings, and in-laws of Grace King Hipp. They were also neighbors. The Thomas farm in SC was next to the Hipp farm, just across the border in NC.
