From the various posts to this board and others, and the various online family 'trees', it seems that some believe
that

>>JOHN THOMAS FANE WESTMORELAND b 1710, Prince George Co. VA d 1781 Cowpens Co. S. Carolina marr EDITH NIPPER b 1710 Prince George Co. VA d 6 Oct 1753, Enoree, Partanburg. S. Carolina


I would love to know the documentation for this one.

We know that Thomas WESTMORELAND was listed in Dinwiddie CO VA, then on about 1782/83 he died. In Oct 1783 his relict, Edith WESTMORELAND, was then listed with his personal property.

Does anyone on this list know why folks list Thomas WESTMORELAND (= the Thomas who was h/o Edith) as John Thomas FANE WESTMORELAND?

I understand the John NIPPER connection to Edith. I have the NIPPER wills (John's & Anne's)(Anne named w/o John in his will). I understand that Edith was marr to Thomas after John died, that the published marr record stated Thomas WESTMORELAND marr to the d/o John NIPPER, and I understand that Ann (known relict of John NIPPER) named Thomas WESTMORELAND her son-in-law (in her will)(thank goodness she gave him 1 shilling!). I understand that Edith was relict of Thomas WESTMORELAND, as proven by the Dinwiddie 'Personal Property Tax Lists'. I understand the names of several of her children per VA land records and tax lists, and the later records in TN that link the siblings.
No where have I found a reference for 'this' elder Thomas WESTMORELAND ( = the Thomas who was the husband of Edith) referenced as John Thomas FANE WESTMORELAND.
...BUT, I have only begun my search in these VA records.

So my question for this list---
Is there a record, or reason for, all of these names associated with this one man who is listed in the Dinwiddie records as Thomas WESTMORELAND, alive, and apparently well, up until 1782?

All leads appreciated.
