Thomas Honeycutt was born circa 1760 in Pendleton, Anderson County, South Carolina,. He was the son of Randolph Hunnicutt (1747-abt.1833) and Frances (Collins) Hunnicutt (1740-1834).

  • In 1802 and 1805 he was living in Hancock County, Georgia. Both Thomas and a Joseph Honeycut were to have one draw in the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery [2] Thomas Honeycutt drew blanks in the Land Lottery of 1805 in Hancock, Georgia.
  • In 1830, Thomas was living in Bibb County, Alabama. The household consistd of 5: Thomas (age 50-59), a female (age 50-59), two white males (10-14) and one white female (age 10-14).[3]

Research Notes

  • This information was provided by Emma Lou Burt Price, on Find A Grave, who has been the Family Historian for over 50 years. It is unsourced. Family Historian Emma Lou Bart Price. I think that the 1760 date of birth is incorrect and believe that 1768 is more accurate. ..........Alex Clark
  • The earliest record found on Thomas Honeycutt in Alabama is a Marriage record of Patience T. Honeycutt to Philip Coker Jr. on 11 December 1818 in Montgomery County, Alabama. Thomas Honeycutt gave his permission for his daughter Patience to marry Philip Coker. Autauga and Bibb Counties were formed from Montgomery County in 1818.
  • On 12 October 1820 Thomas Honeycutt signed for his daughter Sally to marry Henry Henley [4] in Bibb County, Alabama. On 11 January 1827 he signed for his daughter Martha to marry Elisha Henley [5]
  • When Thomas Honeycutt signed with his mark, he always used an H rather than an X. This mark has been found on several documents. Some researchers have mistaken this for his initial, but close examination of the records will affirm it is his mark.
  • Thomas is found on the 1830 census of Bibb County, Alabama. From "The History of Mulberry Baptist Church": Thomas and Josephine Honeycutt were the first of that family name (in this area).
  • They came early and were Baptists. Their family seems to have been a very large one. Included among the names of their children was a son James Honeycutt who married Bethany Cobb, the daughter of Alexander Cobb. James and Bethany Honeycutt moved into the Providence community about the year 1845 and became members of Providence Baptist Church. Another child Mary Ann Honeycutt married William Anderson 05 Mar 1805 in Jasper, Georgia. William fought in the Revolutionary War in 1777. There are to many other children to name. The family name is still very much around in Chilton County, Alabama today.

Death

  • Thomas passed away circa 1830 (aged 69–70) in Bibb County, Alabama. He had a 'Non-Cemetery Burial', Specifically: Unknown Cemetery.' [6]

DNA Connections
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:

The Thomas Hunnicutt son of Randolph Hunnicutt and his wife Frances Collins, who married Sarah C. Saxon supposedy died and was buried near Hopewell Church, Seneca, South Carolina. He was supposed to have died in 1868.

Does anyone have any records that show that that Thomas Hunnicutt is the same one who died in Bibb County in 1830? I have not seen any records other than the Find A Grave memorial that connect Thomas to Randolph. A note on the Find A Grave record references the 1830 death date in Seneca SC.

The Thomas who married Sarah Saxon is likely the son of John Jr and not Randolph. This Thomas is the war of 1812 veteran who like his father was an officer.

To be eligible for a land lottery in GA you had to be there for a minimum of one year. Thomas likely went before 1800 as he is not in a census found in census after 1790. The first three census schedules for Georgia are missing meaning he was likely there, The two censuses we do have place his age between 1771-1774. This makes a scene as his father is said to be born in 1747. The 1760 birth here would make his father 13 at his birth.

His child's marriage in Ga proves this fact as his daughter Mary would have to be between the ages of 13- 22 to marry placing her latest possible birth range are 1793 and earliest in 1784. According to the census Thomas already had two females in his household. One of these is likely his wife while the other is his daughter Mary placing her birth before 1790. This makes sense considering she is said to be born in 1786.

Based on the census records and his daughter's birth it's likely he was born closer to 1770-1771

Not sure we should yet. If you look at the referenced Ancestry profile in Thomas Henry Honeycutt, it has him marrying the same person in 1784, 1787, 1795 and 1806. And having 19 children between 1786 and 1825. By the same woman he married 4 times. That's 19 children over almost 40 years!

There is something weird going on - I suspect there's more than one Thomas Honeycutt married to a Sarah between SC, Georgia and Alabama.

I am not an expert in the family and don't want to mess things up any more.

Thanks Sally

Rita,

Is this a duplicate of Thomas Henry Honeycutt? I see you have a reference to the same Find A Grave profile.

I am probably catching you in the middle of a "project", but my DH is a descendant of Thomas Henry Hunnicutt (his GGGF changed the surname for some reason). If you run across any Chilton/Shelby county Alabama Honeycutts, let me know. They are probably kin somehow. Be glad to collaborate, though I am not a manager of any of the any of the Thomas Honeycutt profiles.

Hi. I think it might be a duplicate. Would you like to merge it?

Honeycutt-1573 and Honeycutt-294 appear to represent the same person because: I think these represent the same people even though the birth information on both are uncertain. The wife, estimated death year and the fact that they moved to Alabama are the same. The facts are scarce and we really need to work on this family. I believe my Mary Ann Hunnicutt wife of William Anderson was his daughter. Her daughter wrote a biography in which she mentioned Thomas and his move to Alabama.
