Notes: Various published sources suggest that Thomas Threatt had 3 wives. Documentary evidence was not cited. We seek documentary evidence for the hypothesized relationships with:
1) ? Stack, hypothesized to be mother of his first 4 children (Flora, Miles, John W. and James Alex'r).
2) Holly (spelling per 1850 US Census - Chesterfield Co., SC) or Holley (spelling per tombstone at Fork Creek UMC, Jefferson, SC);
3) Third wife, Catherine D., is mentioned in Thomas Threatt's will.

However, a different wife appears as Mother in death certificates of Miles Threatt and Jane Knight (nee Threatt): Abi**** Ellitt (possibly Abigale or Abijah), and Elliott, respectively.

We seek documentation on the ancestry and circumstances of death of wives Stack, Abigale Elliott, Holly, and Catherine D. Knight.

Text: It may be of Interest that the one damaged book that survived Shermans burning of the Chesterfield County Courthouse, records on Page 28, a sale of farm property to Thomas Threat of Union county, NC by Joel Brewer & wife Anna for $3700 on 18 Dec1858. I think this would fix the time that Thomas Threat of the Union County 1850 Census migrated to an area near Lynches Creek, Chesterfield Co., SC
