  A deed registered Aug 1765 from George Brown to Thomas Whitehead in Orange County, North Carolina suggests that this Thomas was in Orange County in 1765 and did not go to Georgia with the other members of the family in 1764 and 1765. He seems to be the Thomas Whitehead on Tax return, Terry District, Jefferson County, Georgia in 1799. Children mentioned in his will in this order: Susannah Terry, Nancy Thomas, Wineford Mitchell, William, Thomas, James, Hilliard and Jones.
