George ‘planter’ Thomasson

A Patriot of the American Revolution for VIRGINIA. DAR Ancestor # A132536

.....George married Mary Pollard on Feb. 22, 1735 in Hanover County, Va. (became Louisa County in 1742). Mary was the daughter of Richard Pollard and Martha Fleming. George was the son of Thomas Thomasson, the "immigrant" who came from England to Virginia in 1677. George's mother is "unknown", but believed to have been Genia Reeves (1648-1720).

George would be referred to as George Thomasson, Planter. Louisa County, Va. recorded that George Thomasson patented 1600 acres on both sides of Christopher's Run on June 5, 1736. There were a number of land transactions during his lifetime. His plantation was self sufficient, growing crops and vegetables. His inventory of animals, included 3 oxen, 19 cattle, 64 hogs, 4 horses, 2 milk cows and one bull. "George was too old to serve in the Continental Army during the War of Independence, but he furnished supplies on several occasions as evidenced by the public service claims in Louisa County. On June 13, 1781, he was allowed 3 pence per pound for 850 lbs. of beef delivered to John Jouett. Then again on November 1, 1781 George Thomasson was allowed 3 pence per pound for 275 lbs. of beef received by William Anderson. Any Thomasson descendant of George and Mary (Pollard) would be eligible for DAR membership on his contributions of supplies to the American Army." In Louisa County, Va., on a branch of Christopher's Run, George built a mill, and the parish opened up a road to this mill which became known as Thomasson's Mill Road. There was also a road leading from the Thomasson plantation to the Louisa Court House that was known as Thomasson's Court House Road.

George and his wife Mary Pollard raised six sons and four daughters. They were:
1. William Thomasson, b. abt. 1734, died Oct. 1800 in Henry County, Va.: married (1) Sarah Turner (2) Mary Estes
2. Elizabeth Thomasson b. 27 Feb. 1734/35; died 12 Oct. 1823 in Washington Co., Va.: married Capt. John Byars
