Fourth Generation
24. Thomas WINSLOW (John, Thomas, Timothy) was born[38] on 8 Jan 1745 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. He died on 29 Jan 1826 in Randolph County, North Carolina. Thomas married[39] Elisabeth PHELPS daughter of Henry PHELPS and Margaret NEWBY on 13 Feb 1768 in Pasquotank County. Elisabeth was born about 1750 in Perquimans County, North Carolina. She died[40] after 13 Jun 1825 in Randolph County. Thomas and Elisabeth were reported married 3 Apr 1768 at Perquimans and Pasquotank Monthly Meeting of the Society of Friends. Elisabeth is mentioned in her father's will[41]. Thomas and Elisabeth probably moved to Guilford County, North Carolina between 1771 and 1775. Their land later became part of Randolph County, when Randolph County was formed formed from Guilford in 1779. Thomas was the first surveyor of Randolph County, he deeded a 26 acre tract to the Quakers in 1787. He was a charter member of Back Creek MM and two of his sons were buried in what would become the Back Creek Cemetery[42].

On 13 Jul 1789 Thomas bought 250 acres on Two Mile Branch of Uwharrie from William Lytle of Orange County, North Carolina for 200 pounds, witnesses Absolom Tatom and Pharoh Ventriss/Phentriss, Jur.[43] On 10 3mo (Mar) 1790 Thomas of Randolph sold 14 acres on Uwharrie for 14 pounds to Samuel Bundy of Randolph County. Witnesses John Winslow and Samuel Charles[44]. On 7 Jul 1794, land grant to Thomas containing 150 acres on Warree (sic) Waters, adj. Sam Bundy[45]. On 29 Jul 1795 or 1796, Thomas sold William Trueblood, for 180 pounds, 120 acres on the west side of Uwharrie being part of a tract purchased from William Lytle[46].

Information from Ron Yielding and copied from the DAR Patriot Index - Centennial Edition, part III, shows Thomas b.1-8-1745/6 North Carolina, d.6-29-1826 who was married to Elizabeth Phelps PS (Patriotic Service), North Carolina received a voucher for services rendered. I have joined the Daughters of the American Revolution under Thomas Winslow. My national number is 0769624.

Thomas owned at least three slaves: Moses Winslow and Peter Andrew (I wonder if he also used the name Winslow.) were freed and in his will he instructed his sons, Henry and Eleazor to make sure that their freedom was not interrupted. His slave, Joanna, was given to his wife in his will. It appears that Moses and Peter and other free people of color were living on the land of Nathan Winslow in 1830[48], after Henry left North Carolina.
