The Kimbrough family came to North Carolina from Louisa County, Virginia. Thomas Kimbrough's will is probated in Caswell County in December 1777 in which he mentions his wife, Eleanor, daughter of Thomas and Ann Graves of Spotsylvania County, Virginia, and the following children: Thomas, John, William Robert, Graves, Suckey, Mary, Sarah, Betsy, Nancy, and Franky. Thomas Graves was a son of John Graves. [1]

Research Notes
The 1784 tax list for Hillsborough, Gloucester District, [alphabetical] lists several Kimbro’s, including Eleanor [a widow], several Graves families, and HENRY TURNER, Sr., Henry Turner, Jr., and James Turner. Henry, Jr.-2, had no land listed, and was just a “poll,” though he would have been at least 39 years old that year and was probably married with a young family. HENRY TURNER, Sr. owned enough lands to supply his sons with plantations. HENRY, Sr., had 300 acres and three slaves. James Turner had 200 acres and one poll. That year, they were the only men named Turner, except for Joseph Turner and Berryman Turner who lived distantly in St. Lawrence district on lands that later became part of Person County.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Thomas by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Thomas:
