Individual Details

[I have seen that this Thomas Proctor was born in Bedford Co VA. This does not seem possible. I also believe he was older than this year indicates, or born maybe as early as 1760.] The Bible record I found that I believe may be his family, gave his birth as 22 Apr 1766 - and he was most likely born in Spotsylvania Co, VA.

The Blakey family books give Thomas Proctor & Sally Haden, sons Hezekiah, Benjamin, & John - but they were not his sons. Sally had no sons. Also some of the children ascribed to Thomas's son Thomas E. Proctor, in the Blakey Books are listed as the elder Thomas' children in his Will. I believe his brother Hezekiah to actually be older than Thomas, Benjamin to be a close contemporary. This is based on tax rolls, census, court records, wills, marriages, etc. in Logan County. George D. Blakey who was a Haden cousin, in his writings states that Thomas, Hezekiah, Benjamin and John were brothers - but there is doubt that John was a brother. A Bible record found also supports these relationships but indicates John was considerably older than the John documented in Logan Co. It should be noted that the family pedigree as given in the now defunct Ancestral File is taken in part from the Blakey Books; they both seem to have included one too many Thomas Proctor generations for the time period involved.

From KY MARRIAGE RECORDS, from the Register of the KY Historical Society, GPC, 1986: Lincoln Co from Formation of County:
1785 - 9,1 Proctor, Tomas & Popley [Polly], daughter of Robert Oneal
Robert Oneal's will from Fayette Co KY, 1820, states that his daughter Mary was deceased but had left two children, William and Nancy Proctor. Thomas Proctor recognized the same two children in his own will.

COLONIAL AMERICA 1706-1789 CENSUS INDEX [CD-Rom FTM] Thomas Proctor was on a tax list, Fayette Co KY, 1788. Hezekiah and John Proctor were on the same list. A Benjamin Proctor is on a tax list in Madison Co KY 1789 - but the Benjamin in Madison Co would have been an older man than the Benjamin in Logan Co and cannot be the same person.
Robert O'Neal was also on that 1788 tax list - likely his father-in-law. Deeds from Fayette Co - part of the Burnt Records, Vol. 4, p.1-4 - show that Thomas & Mary Marshall sold land to Robert O'Neal which was adjacent that of William Haden and on the same day the Marshalls sold land to William Haden which mentions a boundary on Thomas Proctor's line. Later deeds show that William Haden bought 43 acres from James Wren where Thomas Proctor was then living - Wren had bought the same 43 acres from Thomas & Mary Marshall.

1783-1792 Court Order Books for KY [Supreme Court of Dist of KY while still part of VA]:
p.217; Order Book D, 24 Jun 1789, p.176
Thomas Proctor named to serve on a jury.
p.217; Order Book D, 24 Jun 1789, p.179
George Buchanan v. Thomas Procter in case. Robert Collins of Bourbon Co bail for defendant. Writ of inquiry awarded in Clerk's office set aside. Defendant says he is not guilty. Jury trial ordered and defendant found guilty as complained and assessed damages of 21£ 10sh and costs.
[It is interesting that both Buchanan and Collins families will be neighbors in Logan Co.]

Sometime about the same time that Thomas Proctor moved to Logan Co, his first wife died and he married Sally Haden - the marriage was not recorded in Logan Co so possibly took place while the families were still in Fayette Co. A court house fire in that county would have destroyed any record there.

George D. Blakey in a newspaper article described Maj. Thomas Proctor as "a large, portly, fine looking gentleman". He believed he'd had no sons but only listed only two daughters of Sally Haden who was his kinsman - Thomas Proctor & Sally Haden had no sons but did have three daughters, and Thomas had one son and a daughter by his first wife, Polly O'Neal, the son having died prior to 1841 and who was duly noted in Thomas' will, and another son by his third wife, Rebecca Maxwell. He also had two daughters by Rebecca, only one of which was named by Blakey. Blakey's memory was not always quite correct.

Thomas Proctor gave a deposition during a court case of Jonathan Clark's heirs, which suggests he first came to Logan Co about 1797.
26 Apr 1823. Thomas Proctor's deposition taken at the home of Benjamin Temple. Stated he had been a resident for about 26 years. He was acquainted with the survey at the head of the Black Lick fork of the Gasper River where Benjamin Temple now lives. It has always been known as Jonathan Clarks 2000 acres Military Survey. He was with Jonathan Clark and William Clark as well as he recollects about Nov 1802 when they had gone around the survey. Burwell Jackson surveyed the land.

The 1799 and 1800 tax lists for Logan Co, which serve as something of a census, indicate that Thomas Proctor was in Logan Co. and the only Proctor there. He was listed the first time in 1799 with 6 horses, but had no land until 1800 when he had 200 acres on the Gasper River, originally entered by Patrick McCutcheon

"Logan County KY Marriages 1790-1865" gives two marriages for a Thomas Proctor: One to Rebecca Maxwell, Oct 17, 1808 and one to Polly Collins, Aug 20, 1810. Major Thomas Proctor remarried after Sally died to Rebecca Maxwell and a very different Thomas married Polly Collins.
In the division of the Negroes of Wm Haden, 4 Jan 1821, Sally Haden is spoken of as "his former wife Sally, Dec'd" as though he had a present wife. Later research shows that Rebecca Maxwell was indeed the third wife of Maj. Thomas.
The Thomas who married Polly Collins, is referred to in some of the Logan Co records as a Thomas "Jr" undoubtedly indicating the fact he was a younger man of the same name - there is no indication that he was a son, but he may have been a nephew or cousin. There exists the remote possibility he could have been Maj. Thomas's son by a wife even earlier that Polly O'Neal. If so, he was totally omitted from Maj. Thomas's will - and it would be a little odd for him to have two sons named Thomas (although that does happen on occasion).

Thomas Proctor: 1 white male over 21, 6 horses, 150 acres on Black Lick (for of Gasper). No slaves noted.

Logan Co Deed Book H, p.424; 9 Feb 1820. Andrew Blair formerly of Logan Co sells to Thomas Proctor of Robertson Co, TN, 300 acres on the waters of the clear fork of the Gasper River. [I wondered if Thomas had moved to Tennessee for a few years, but this appears to be a different person - but it cannot be ruled out that he had residences in two places. Robertson is just over the state line from Logan; some in the disputed Walker line area.]

None of the deeds of Thomas Proctor of Robertson Co TN were signed by a spouse, the sales don't seem to match the purchases. Yet several of the parties name were acquaintances of Maj. Thomas. and in the 1820 census, Springfield, Robertson Co TN is a Thomas Proctor: 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-45, 1m over 45; 2f under 10, 1f 10-16, 1f 26-45, 13 slaves. Thomas Proctor of Logan Co had been enumerated in 1820 right there in Logan. The makeup of the two households is similar - in Logan Co he counted no slaves. There remains the possibility he had residences in both places for a few years - the slaves perhaps in Tennessee. Or we have two Thomas Proctors.

Logan Co Deed Book L, p.244f 5 Jan 1822 [Actually 1821]. The heirs of Wm Haden decd, settled with Samuel who had land laid off by his father & surveyed, but title had not been made.

NOTE: William Whitsitt's Milly is referred to as his LATE wife, while Thomas Procter's Sally is his FORMER wife - Thomas Proctor had remarried, William Whitsitt had not.

Beginning in 1822, the Logan Co tax lists for Thomas Proctor show varying tracts of land he paid tax on in Simpson Co on Drakes Creek - the first of these was for 640 acres, entered by Frank Johnston. Deeds are lost for this time period in Simpson Co so transactions there cannot be traced. By 1824, Thomas had several smaller tracts said to be on the Red River (and sometimes one is still listed on Drakes Creek. Drakes Creek is in a different location, so these don't seem to be part of the larger tract, unless there was a Creek that went by a different name.)

4 Jun 1827 Deed Book O, p.343 The heirs of William Haden sold to Thomas Proctor Jr 150 acres which had been transacted with William before his death but title not made. Commissioners were Edward Collins, Wm. J. Morton and Ben Proctor, who signed the names of each of the heirs. Living children were William, Samuel, Nancy & William Porter, John & Polly Wilson & Sally Haden.
Grandchildren were the children of James: Jefferson, Nancy & Josiah Newman, William M., Emily, Eliza H. & Nathaniel H. Felts, Harriot, Mary and James;

This deed proves that only three daughters were born to Sally Haden. Other children named in the will of Thomas that were not included here were Nancy & William who were the children of first wife Polly O'Neal and his children by Rebecca Maxwell. Thomas Jr. was evidently not a son of Maj. Thomas - perhaps a nephew or cousin, called "Jr" as the younger Thomas creating records in Logan Co at this time.
