Rev. Cornelius B. Thames1

M, (circa 1787 - 1876)
FatherRev. William Thames (b Oct 1759 - 10 Jan 1813)
MotherLucy (?) (1761 - 23 Nov 1812)
DNA* Cornelius has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Thomas Thames of Bladen Co., NC, born circa 1705/10.2 
Birth*circa 1787 Cornelius was born at Cumberland Co., North Carolina, circa 1787. 
(free wh male 0-16) 1790 Census2 August 1790 Cornelius was probably a free white male, under 16 years old, in Rev. William Thames's household on the 1790 Census at Cumberland Co., North Carolina.3 
(free wh male 10-16) 1800 Census4 August 1800 Cornelius was probably a free white male, age 10 and under 16, in Rev. William Thames's household on the 1800 Census at Cumberland Co., North Carolina.4 
Marriage*8 July 1805 He married Susannah Carver at Cumberland Co., North Carolina, on 8 July 1805. (Marriage Bond, Susannah Carver to Cornelius Thames, 8 Jul 1805, Cumberland Co., NC. Bond: Stephen Wiggins, Richard Jordon, John Beck. Record #3551 2.) 
1810 Census*6 August 1810 Cornelius was listed as the head of a family on the 1810 Census at Cumberland Co., North Carolina.5 
Deed*23 March 1812 He was granted a deed by Rev. William Thames, with Rev. David Thames as an adjacent landowner on 23 March 1812 at Cumberland Co., North Carolina,

Cumberland County Deed Book 20; page 472. March 23, 1812 William Thames to Cornelius Thames for love and affection 77 and 1/2 acres along the Fayetteville to Wilmington Road between the land of David Thames and the land William retains.6 
Tax roll*1815 He registered to pay taxes at Cumberland Co., North Carolina, in 1815.
     Cumberland County Tax List of 1815; Cornelius Thames pays one poll has no slaves and owns 77 acres of land valued at $350. There is no record here of any Thames, who was a Baptist Minister, ever owning slaves.6 
Biography28 March 1815 Cumberland County Will Book A; pages 216 - 217 the will of Zachariah Butlar written 28 March 1815 and recorded June 1815 is witnessed by John Butlar and Cornelius Thames.6 
Biography*1817 "In an early settlement in Monroe Co. known as Old Salem, a Baptist Church was organized in 1817 and named Old Salem Church. Pastor Cornelius Thames was the first minister of this old church which was lighted with candles and later kerosene lamps while the old earthen fireplace warmed the members in cold weather."7 
Relocation*1817 He relocated in 1817 at Monroe Co., Alabama; Other researchers have assumed that Cornelius B. Thames was the Cornelius Thames who was issued a passport through Indian Territory for himself, his wife, four children and seven negroes, all traveling from Beaufort District, SC. The 1810 census for the Beaufort District clearly enumerated this family with the passport as "Cornl. Tims, 1M0-9, 1M26-44, 3F10-16, 1F26-44, 7 slaves" The family with the passport appears to be the one referenced in "The Succession Records of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana 1804 - 1854": Cornelius Thames, February 22, 1821- Petition of Rachel Thames, widow of Major Cornelius Thames, who died February 1821, leaving no will and eight children. The children are all minors and their names are Reddin, Sarah, Mary, Rachel, Miss Hanson, Washington, Adeline, and Clementine. Dr. Timothy Thames, brother of the deceased, is appointed undertutor to the minors. October 16, 1827 - Petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames for a family meeting. October 16, 1827 - Family meeting recommending the sale of property it then names members whom attended. November 28, 1827 - The petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames shows she bought (this may mean she brought to the marriage) property consisting of one tract of land which was inherited from her grandfather in the State of SC. Her husband sold the land and purchased certain slaves. Her husband inherited $300 from his father's estate. She wishes the paraphernalia (pertains to parapherna or property brought to the marriage) property to be taken out of the succession etc.

(Family Member) Relocation1817 She was an accompanying familiy member in the relocation of an unknown person in 1817 at Monroe Co., Alabama; Other researchers have assumed that Cornelius B. Thames was the Cornelius Thames who was issued a passport through Indian Territory for himself, his wife, four children and seven negroes, all traveling from Beaufort District, SC. The 1810 census for the Beaufort District clearly enumerated this family with the passport as "Cornl. Tims, 1M0-9, 1M26-44, 3F10-16, 1F26-44, 7 slaves" The family with the passport appears to be the one referenced in "The Succession Records of St. Helena Parish, Louisiana 1804 - 1854": Cornelius Thames, February 22, 1821- Petition of Rachel Thames, widow of Major Cornelius Thames, who died February 1821, leaving no will and eight children. The children are all minors and their names are Reddin, Sarah, Mary, Rachel, Miss Hanson, Washington, Adeline, and Clementine. Dr. Timothy Thames, brother of the deceased, is appointed undertutor to the minors. October 16, 1827 - Petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames for a family meeting. October 16, 1827 - Family meeting recommending the sale of property it then names members whom attended. November 28, 1827 - The petition of Mrs. Rachel Thames shows she bought (this may mean she brought to the marriage) property consisting of one tract of land which was inherited from her grandfather in the State of SC. Her husband sold the land and purchased certain slaves. Her husband inherited $300 from his father's estate. She wishes the paraphernalia (pertains to parapherna or property brought to the marriage) property to be taken out of the succession etc.
The Monore County part of Alabama was not settled by white families until about 1817, and Cornelius is known to have started a church at Old Salem in Monroe Co. in 1817, it is assumed that is the year when Cornelius B. and family moved.4,5,6 
(free wh female 40-50) 1830 Census1 June 1830 Susannah was probably a free white female, age 40 and under 50, in Rev. Cornelius B. Thames's household, on the 1830 Census at Monroe Co., Alabama.7
