Donnie Blackstone--

Served as a Private under Captain Isaac Taylor during The Revolution Rowan County. Rowan County is now Randolph County. Pension R7173v rejected because service did not qualify under Act.[1]

Father of Isaac Millsaps b.1795 Tennessee to March 6, 1836 at The Alamo, Republic of Texas (Died defending the Alamo The Texas Revolution). Isaac Millsaps went into the Service of The United States about the September 20, 1814 19 years of age. Served as a Private, son of Thomas Millsaps and Bathsheeba records indicate Veteran of War of 1812. Served in the East Tennessee Militia. William Millsaps was an Uncle. William's spouse was Rebecca Webster. Isaac Millsaps' spouse was Mary Blackstone b. Pike County, Mississippi. Mary was blind and had 7 children.


According to Ancestry.com, Thomas and Bathsheba had nine children: 1) Elizabeth; 2) Mary; 3) Edward; 4) John; 5) Thomas James; 6) Isaac; 7) David; 8) Solomon; and, 9) Peter. It also stated his parents as Robert and Ellender King Millsaps as well as listing his place and year of death.

According to an Ancestry.com chat site, Solomon was killed at the Alamo. Another entry stated: "Isaac Millsaps ...fought at The Alamo as part of the Immortal Thirty-Two. He was married to Mary Millsaps, who was blind and had seven children." Research into the Alamo does have an Isaac Millsaps listed as one of the defenders who was killed there. This Isaac had the same parents listed as Thomas James, and was, therefore Thomas's brother. Also, Isaac was supposedly to have written a famous letter about the Alamo 3 days before the battle that showed up in the 1960's and may or may not have been a forgery.

Thomas James Millsaps is my direct line. LM

Additions have been made to this entry naming additional children as Rachel (Millsaps) Williams (or Wallis, in one entry), Bethsheba and Ned. I do not know where this information was obtained. Also, from "My Heritage" website, it states Thomas's middle name as "Minear". Again, I do not know where this information was obtained.
