Thomas is my GGGG Grandfather. I have the same dates for him, but not this location. I have him born in Cecil County, Maryland (along with his wife and parents). Scotland seems wrong as his parents (Abraham and Isabella) were residents of Maryland - I doubt they traveled back to Scotland to have this one child (out of their 7 children). But I don't have much in the way of sources yet either, so I may be mistaken. I also have Sarah Silver's marriage in 1794 which is consistent with Hannah dying in 1793. And Sarah appears to have had 8 children
