Family:Thomas Millsaps and Mary Unknown (1)

Order of children

The birth dates of the children are unknown, but they are listed in the following order in the book "The History of Millsaps" by Luther Wayne Capooth (p. 10): sons Robert, Thomas, Joseph, and William, and daughters Jean, Elizabeth, Mary, and Elinor.

Lack of evidence for claims

Capooth's book disputes the maiden name of Mary (often stated to be Poplin), stating that he has seen no evidence for her maiden name, and that the surname Poplin didn't occur in County Armagh. He also says there is no evidence that Thomas's father was William (as often claimed), just because there was a William Millsope found in the 1664 Hearth Money Rolls.
