1820 Census. Peyton Thomas is listed although he may already be living in Missouri. There is a female over age 45 listed by his name, which follows that of Phil Thomas and Phil Thomas as Adm. for Asa Thomas. I think this may very well be Joyce.

Departed this life in the 99th year of her age. Another place in the Bible - age 99 years, 8 months, 20 days.
Another note in the Bible states that she wrote these in the year 1802, Sept 20th.

L. Starling Thomas stated that she died about 1818 and that she lived with her son Philip in her later years. Certainly she lived several years longer.
