From Carole Conrad: "The story that Thomas was a Tory has been proved false.
It is believed he served with the Virginia Militia circa 1776. This appears to be proven by land grants given in Wilkes County, NC and by the fact that he was named Justice of Wilkes in 1805."
John Carlton of Orange County and Albemarle County Virginia and Some of His Descendants 1720 - 1989 (1989) by Lt. Col. George H. Carlton, page 28: "He died in the Spring of 1845 near Boomer, Wilkes County, NC and was buried in the family cemetery on his farm."
