    Census  1800  , Burke, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [4] 
    • There are two Thomas Hemphills in Burke County in 1800; neither census record matches perfectly, but this one seems most probable. Thomas (54) is the only male in the household over the age 45. There is one female over 45 (Mary Ann, 42), one male under 10 (Thomas M, 4), four females under 10 (Ruth Bertha, 6; Rebecca,8; maybe Rachel, 10; and unidentified), three females 10 to 15 (maybe Elizabeth, 12; Jane, 15; and Mary, 22). There are also two undidentified males, one aged 10 to 15 (possibly James, 20) and one aged 16 to 25 (possibly Samuel, 25). There are 12 slaves.
    Census  1810  Morganton, Burke, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [5] 
    • Thomas Hemphill was enumerated as head of household and the only male aged 45+. Other household members include a male aged 10 to 15 (likely Thomas McEntire Hemphill, 14), a female aged 10 to 15 (likely Ruth Bertha, 14), four females aged 16 to 25 (likely Rebecca 18, Rachel 20, Elizabeth 22, and Jane 25), and one female aged 26 to 44 (likely daughter, Mary (Polly). There are 14 slaves.
    Census  1820  , Burke, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [6] 
    • Thomas M. Hemphill is enumerated as head of household and the only male aged 16 to 25. The other household member is a female aged 16 to 25, which is likely Malinda Burgin. (I feel confident that this record is them, as they were married in 1819 and their first child was not born until November 1820). One person in the household is engaged in agriculture. They had no slaves.
    Will  12 Jan 1824  , Burke, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [7, 8] 
    • Thomas Hemphill bequeathed to "my Son Thomas the whole of that land which I bought from John Davidson, and on which I now live, also one hundred acres lying on Brevard Creek to him and his heirs for ever." He further bequeathed to "my Son Thomas, three negro men Peter, Bob & Lewis, also one negro woman named Jude, and her child named Shala, also one Cuberd, one Desk, one Clock, two beds and their furniture, one old nager[?], and one Still and Still vysels." He further bequeathed to his son, Thomas, 1/3 of his stock (cattle, hogs, & sheep). - > Captain Thomas Hemphill's will

      "Thomas, Jr." was mentioned in his father's will. He was bequeathed the land on which he lived, which was bought from John Davidson. -> Revolutionary War Soldiers of Western NC

    • "Thos Hemphill" was enumerated as head of household and is the male aged 40 to 50.
