William Pullen, _Tide-Water to Blue Ridge: Pullen Walker Families_ (typescript, Dallas Public Library, 1977), p. 5: "Thomas Pullen - A member of the first court of Bedford, which met at New London, married Margaret (Peggy) Adams, daughter of John, shown in John's will, probated Bedford, 23 Jan 1793. (WB-2-p-187) Thomas moved to Pittsylvania between 1792 and 1798. married 1756 in Bedford Co,Va, to Justice Thomas Pullen and had 8 children: William Pullen Born 1758 and married 1st in 1782 to Patsy Peyton,, she died April 14, 1845, he married 2nd, 1786 to Mary Haynes in 1767.

Sarah Pullen Four of his daughters were married in Bedford - shown by marriage bonds: a) Siner (Sinah) Pullen - Samuel Mitchell - 16 Dec 1785. (Thomas's uncle, Bryant Pullen, had a daugher Sinah.) b) Huldah Pullen - William Wright - 28 Jan 1792. c) Sally Pullen - Thomas Wright - 26 march 1792. d) Elizabeth Pullen - Born 1774 and married Stephen Preston - 8 Dec 1792.

"Thomas and Peggy are said to have had another daughter, Winifred, who married a Jarvis.

"Thomas died 14 Oct 1811, Peggy 12 Nov 1809. (Dalton register 14 W&M 2 p 36) His will, probated 1811, named daughters and son William to whom he left his 'Large Bible'. This William, born Bedford 1757, served seven years in the Continental Line, Rev. War, went south after the war, died Birmingham 1845, buried Forest Hill Cemetery and had many descendants. (_William Pullen 1757-1845 -An Account of His Life in Virginia_)'"

This Thomas (1731-1811) was the son of William Pullen (ca 1697-ca 1767) and Winifred Everett (1696-1766). He was possibly the man in these records unless his birthdate really is 1697, in which case he could be their sibling: Therese Fisher, _Vital Records of Three Burned Counties_ (Heritage Books, 1995), p. 98: "PULLUM, Benjamin, son of William Pullum bap 31 Mar 1700; St. Peter's Parish Register, New Kent Co, VA. "PULLUM, James, son of William Pullum bap. 2 May 169_; St Peter's Parish Register"

Thomas b 1697 was the brother of Moses. William Pullen, _Tide-Water to Blue Ridge: Pullen Walker Families_ (typescript, Dallas Public Library, 1977), p. 4: "26 Jan 1789, Simmons Everett was surety on the marriage bonds, in Bedford, of Thomas Pullen, son of Moses, and Elizabeth Abston and James Donaho and Elizabeth Lowry, which suggests this was a family double wedding and that Thomas Pullen and Elizabeth Lowry were cousins."
