Individual Details
Thomas Gary
(Abt, 1727 - April, 1797)
"Thomas Gary was mentioned first in S.C., 27 Dec. 1754, when he purchased, from John Pitts, 200 acres on Bush River for one hundred fifty pounds. Thomas Gere had a warrant for 100 acres on Saludy River and Bushy Fork, 6 June 1758; One for 200 acres in Berkley Co. and 88 acres in Berkley Co., 7 Nov. 1758.
"Thomas Gary and Charles Gary lived in a small community on bush River. John Pearson wrote concerning the Indians: "In short they have burned and destroyed all up Bush River, except Jacob Brooks where there are some people gathered together to stand in their own defense." Those who signed the petition asking relief against the Indian depredations were: Charles and Thomas Gary, date Journal of the Council 1755. The Gary's settled on the line between Laurens and Newberry counties, from Stub entries to Indents issued in payment of claims against S.C. growing out of the Revolution. Thomas Gary was granted four indents, probably for three of the name who served or furnished supplies. Thomas Gary for eight pounds nine shillings and eight pence for provisions supplied the Militial in 1782.
"Thomas Gary and his wife were among the earliest members of Bush River Baptist Church, however, they are buried in a private cemetery on the original Thomas Gary home place, as recited by the sons, John Newman and Samuel, when they sold the original home place on the line of Laurens and Newberry Co. S.C.
"Will: "Estate to be divided into fifteen parts; two parts to Martha for her lifetime and to whoever she chooses to take care of her during her lifetime, shall have what is left. Two parts to my son, Charles Gary, and Thomas Gary to take care of him and maintain him during his lifetime and Thomas Gary to have what remains of his estate at his demise. (Perhaps Martha and Charles were incapicated.) I desire the other eleven parts to be equally divided between my other eleven children, viz: Elizabeth Williams, Thomas Gary, Anne Williams, Amery Teague, William Gary, John Gary, Rebecca Gary, Elizabeth Gary, Numan Gary, Samuel Gary and Sarah Gary. I desire my sons, Numan and Samuel Gary, shall have my lands and plantation in part of their estate, each one to receive their part when of age or marry and if anyone dies before being of age, their part to be equally divided between them that live. Only Martha and Charles' part to be as above mentioned; Ex. Thomas Gary, Jr., son-in-law, Abner Teague, and son-in-law, Providence Williams; wit. Dorthy, Israel and Joshua Teague." " ((R.
