      THOMAS2 EGLETON (JOHN1) was born abt 1707, and died Bet. 1775 - 1776 in Petersburg, Mecklenburg County, Virginia (Source: Fred Eggleston; Alexandria, VA; Dec. 4, 1978., "Some Notes on Virginia Ancestor of Thomas Eggleton (1764-1845) of Henry County.").He married (1) MARY (?) abt 1741.She died October 21, 1748 (Source: John Andrew Eggleton His Ancestors & Descendants by Kermon Thomasson.). He married (2) MARY GAY CRAWLEY/CROWLEY February 14, 1748/49. She was born September 25, 1730 (Source: John Andrew Eggleton His Ancestors & Descendants by Kermon Thomasson.), and died Bef. September 1763 (Source: John Andrew Eggleton His Ancestors & Descendants by Kermon Thomasson.).He married (3) NANCY/ANNE WATSON September 10, 1763 in Lunenburg County, Virginia (Source: Lunengurg Bond # 79; 9 William & Mary Quarterly (1st Series) 176.), daughter of MICHAEL WATSON.She was born Bet. 1740 - 1749 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia (Source: Fred Eggleston; Alexandria, VA; Dec. 4, 1978., "Some Notes on Virginia Ancestor of Thomas Eggleton (1764-1845) of Henry County."), and died June 22, 1805 in Henry County, Virginia (Source: Family notes of:.Bonnie Samac, 12468 Smith Rd, Wellington, OH 44090.).

      Notes for THOMAS EGLETON:
      Bible Records:Thomas Egleton and Mary his wife arrived in James River Virginia on April 16, 1741

      According to a manuscript genealogy written in 1902 by Abner Dennis Stultz, Nancy was a sister of Thomas Eggleton of Henry County. While there is no recorded proof, this tradition seems reliable. That would make her a daughter of Thomas (died 1775) and Nancy (Watson) Egleton of Petersburg, whose son Thomas (1764-1845) moved to Henry County.
