This volume is a compilation of some of the descendants of Giles
Thomas and his wife Nancy Ann (Wheeler) Thomas, with short
biographical sketches. A brief summary of the ancestry of Giles and
Nancy is given in an addendum. Giles Thomas, the son of David and
Hannah (Greene) Thomas, was born 30 November 1763 in that part of
Baltimore County, MD, that later became Harford Co. (Harford Co was
cut off from Baltimore Co some years after Giles Thomas's birth.)
Giles Thomas died 21 Mar 1842. He married 4 June 1786 Nancy Ann
Wheeler (born 10 May 1762, died 12 Jun 1834), daughter of Benjamin
and Mary (Neale) Wheeler. Giles entered the army when he was only
16 years of age and served as a private in the Maryland troops
until the close of the Revolutionary War. He served under Gen
Nathaniel Greene in his campaign in the Carolinas. As compensation
for service in the War, he received a land warrant, No. 1747, lying
west of Fort Cumberland in Washington Co, MD. His name also appears
in the pay record in the Maryland Land office. He resided at Port
Tobacco, MD, during his active years but moved, sometime between
1796 and 1801, to Montgomery Co, VA, where he bought a farm and
settled on Catawba Creek. He and his wife are buried in Westview
Cemetery in Blacksburg, VA.
