BLOUNT, THOMAS.  Kendricks Creek, Albemarle County.
September 3, 1701.  March 28, 1706.
Sons: JOHN and JAMES. Following lands devised: "Midle plantation; land at the mouth of Kendricks Creek, whereon I now live; land called Cabbin Necke."
Daughters: BILLAH (wife of KELLEM TYLER), SARAH PEIRCE, CHRISTIAN LUDFORD and ANN WILSON.
Wife: MARY.
Executor: JAMES BLOUNT (son).
Witnesses: WM. WILLSON, JOHN BLOUNT, THOMAS GREEN.
Proven before THOMAS CARY.
He missed son, Thomas (but see next source).  Officially, Albemarle Co. ceased to exist in 1689 though the name persisted (see Corbit 1950, below).  At the time the will was signed and proved, Kendrick Creek was officially in Chowan County.  From 1729 to 1799, Kendrick Creek was in Tyrell County; and, from 1799 to the present, it has been in Washington County.

Vol. 1.  University of South Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, SC.  Parker thinks the given name of Capt. Thomas's first wife may be, "Christian."  She attributes James, John, Sarah, Christian, and Ann to the first wife, the rest to Mary, though she doesn't mention Esau, at all.  She cites the following references:

4.  John Hill Wheeler.  1884.  Reminiscences and Memoirs of North Carolina and Eminent North Carolinians.  Columbus Printing Works, Columbus, OH.  See excerpt on the BLOUNT Surname Board (online at Ancestry.com) entitled "Wheeler's Genealogy of the Blount Family - The Chowan Blounts."  Wheeler erroneously has Capt. Thomas as the brother of Capt. James, who has been shown to be Thomas's father.

5.  Zella Armstrong.  1918.  "Blount Family."  Pages 32-38 in Zella Armstrong.  Notable Southern Families.  Lookout Publ., Chatanooga, TN (1974 by Genealogical Publ. Co., Baltimore, MD; 1998 as Broderbund CD-191), which is posted on the BLOUNT Biographies Board at Ancestry.com under the title, "Armstrong's 'BLOUNT FAMILY' from 'Notable Southern Families'."  Because Armstrong followed Wheeler, there are the same major discrepancies between her and most other researchers.

6.  Marilu Smallwood.  1966.  Related Royal Families.  [appears to be self-published].  See excerpt posted on the BLOUNT Surname Board (online at Ancestry.com) under the title, "Parentage of Capt. James BLOUNT ( -1686) from Smallwood's 'Related Royal Families'."  Shows Capt. Thomas to be the son, not the brother, of Capt. James BLOUNT.

7.  GNIS: Geographic Names Information Service (online at USGS.gov):  Kendrick Creek is currently in Washington Co., NC.

8.  David Leroy Corbit.  1950.  The Formation of the North Carolina Counties, 1663-1943.  Div. Archives and Hist., North Carolina Dept. Cult. Res., Raleigh, NC.  Albemarle Co. was formed in 1644; Chowan was formed in 1670 as a precinct in Albemarle Co.; Chowan became a county in 1689 and, officially, Albemarle Co. ceased to exist though, out of habit or convenience, the region was still called Albemarle Co. well into the 1700s; Tyrrell Co. was formed in 1729 from Chowan, Bertie, Currituck, and Pasquotank Cos. (Kendrick Ck. had been in Chowan); Washington Co. was formed from Tyrrell Co. in 1799.  Kendrick Creek is, today, in Washington Co., NC.

9.  Emails from Kyle VanLandingham:  Mary's maiden name may be PERRY.
