Thomas made a deed in 1658.  He had a brother, John, and a sister,
Mary. His mark was "I" with a "-" across it.  This mark is found no where
else in the records.  Two tracts of land: a) Hoskins Creek - 320a (for
transport of 7 people) just South of Rexburg, Virginia today. It is called
Cheatwood Millpond today. and b) Hoskins Creek - 450a 9 April 1664 from
Thomas Meades, his father.  Both grants were recorded after his own
death.  AKA "The Orphan".
