| Notes |
- 1.Thomas Joines' tombstone in the "Joines Family Cemetery" at the Whitehead Union Baptist Church, in Alleghany Co., NC, states that Thomas' birth date was 15 January 1802 and that his death date was 26 April 1866.
Thomas Joines' original Will is located in the North Carolina State Archives, in Raleigh, NC. The Will is located in a stack of unbound Wills from Alleghany Co., NC dated 1859-1912. Thomas' Will is signed by Thomas on the 16th of March 1868 and was proven in the Alleghany Court of Pleas and Quarter sessions on April 27 1868. This proves that Thomas could not have died in 1866 as his tombstone states, and if he died on the 26th of April, then his Will was presented to the Court on the very next day. From this Will it is proven that Thomas died after March 16th and before April 27th of 1868. Thomas' tombstone was erected after his wife Lydia died in 1879, more than eleven years after Thomas' death. This could explain why the death date on his tombstone is incorrect.
(Doc# 172) (Doc# 304)
In his Will Thomas names Daniel Joines as his son but does not name any of his other children. Marion Brown is named as co-executor but his relationship to Thomas is not stated.(Marion Brown was married to Martha who was a daughter of Thomas'.) Meredith Richardson signed the Will as
a Witness. (Meredith Richardson was married to Sessie who is a daughter of Thomas' per Sessie's death certificate in Alleghany Co. dated 192
On the 30th of October 1868, the executors of Thomas' estate submitted an inventory of the estate including property sold by the executors and
a list of the people that purchased the property. The personal property was purchased by his wife, sons, sons-in-law, grandsons, and neighbors. It is interesting to note that among the items purchased by Elyda (Lydia) was a "still and worm", for three dollars. The rest of Thomas' personal property was sold at the house of Thomas' and a return of this sale was submitted to the Court in June of 1871. A final return of the debts owed to the Estate and debts collected was made to the Court by Elida and Ezekiel Joines in August of 1872. (Doc# 294)

2.Thomas Joines, Jr., seems to have moved to Ashe Co., NC, from Wilkes Co. between 1820 and 1830. He first appears in a census in Ashe Co. in 1830. According "Alleghany Co. Heritage" (Alleghany Co. Hist.-Gen. Society, 1983), p.282, Thomas and his wife Lydia purchased 300 acres of land from the heirs of Daniel Hoppers on Nov. 12, 1824. The land was located on the banks of the Little River near what is now the town of Whitehead. Census records indicate they had at least 10 children, 5 boys and 5 girls.
Thomas Joines' tombstone in the Thomas Joines Family Cemetery near the Whitehead Union Baptist Church, Alleghany Co., NC, states that his birth date was Jan. 15, 1802 and that his death date was April 26, 1866. However, his will proves he died in 1868, not 1866. Thomas signed his will on Mar. 16, 1868, and was proven in the Alleghany Court on April 27, 1868. The explanation for the incorrect date on the tombstone is probably that it was erected after his wife Lydia died in 1879, more than eleven years after his death.
