Diane Pride, in an 11/03 email to JDA, states that she found an entry for Thomas Pride in the 1850 census for Pike County, Jefferson Twp., and it stated that Thomas was born in Tennessee. According to the obit of his great grand-daughter, Cordia (Pride} Risley, he was a prominent and widely known pioneer of Pike County, Indiana. Woolsey (Thomas' father) came from North Carolina to Pike County, Indiana in the Spring of 1800 by travelling over the historic Buffalo Trace. He made the first white settlement in Pike County at White Oak Springs, a half-mile west of the present town of Petersburg in 1800. According tot he same obit, he was a trusted friend of General William Henry Harrison, who was then governor of the Northwest Territory. He served as a (Texas?) ranger from1807 to 1811, and was a soldier in the war of 1812.
