"Nathan Thurman, a Virginia planter and a Baptist preacher was a son of Richard and Sarah Thurman; his ancestors came of good Saxon stock. He was a volunteer in the Indian wars which preceeded the revolution, and he bore arms and a patriotic part in the larger struggle for our independence and self-government." Source: Jim Hamrick jimjan@@ix.netcom.com 24 Jan 99. ALL of Jim's notes are duplicated here: Nathan Thurman, a Virginia planter and Baptist preacher, born in Louisa Co, VA., January 17th, 1743, was a son of Richard and Sarah Thurman; his ancestors came of good Saxon stock;...He was a volunteer in the Indian wars which preceeded the Revolution, and he bore arms and a patriotic part in the larger struggle for our liberty & independence. Hanover Co. became Louisa Co. in middle 1743. Records show that Nathan's parents, Richard Thurman & Sarah (Farmer?), bought 300 acres of land south of the Appomatox River up Mayes Creek on December 10, 1756. It is believed that Richard Thurman moved from Louisa Co., Virginia to Prince Edward Co. in 1756. So this would place Nathan Thurman's birth in Louisa Co., Virginia. "August 5th, 1760, Nathan Thurman married Rebecca Jennings, of Louisa Co.,VA, and Heaven blessed them with twelve children, nearly all of whom lived to advanced ages. Of these, Pleasant was born in Pittsylvania Co., Virginia, October 23rd, 1783, and died at Chillicothe, Ohio, February 13th, 1856." He was the father of Allen Granberry Thurman the U.S. Senator from Ohio. On February 13, 1773 in Prince Edward Co., VA Deed Bk 5 p.207-209 it shows RICHARD THURMAN, SR. of Prince Edward Co. selling to NATHAN THURMAN of Prince Edward Co. "For and in consideration of the natural love he hath and bearath unto his son NATHAN THURMAN" ... 200 acres of land in Prince Edward Co. along the Appomattox River ... bounded by the lines of RICHARD THURMAN JR., Simon WOOLRIDGE and NATHAN THURMAN, being part of the tract of land Richard Thurman, Sr. purchsed of Edward NIX. A researcher, Paul Thurman states that Richard Thurman, Jr. & Nathan Thurman his brother both moved to Pittsylvania Co. about 1767. A search of church parish records for the counties of Prince Edward, Hanover and Pittsylvania in Virginia may yield some answers. It is believed by me that Nathan Thurman moved to Pittsylvania Co., Virginia about 1776 because of the following record. Pittsylvania Co., VA Deed Book 4, pg. 431 shows on November 27, 1777 Richard Thurman, Jr. conveying to Nathan Thurman of Pittsylvania Co VA one Negro fellow named Gilbert, 11 head of cattle, 2 sheep, feather bed, furniture, and all movable affects now in possession of Richard Thurman, Jr., including all crops for the sum of 150 pounds current money. Witnesses: John Babbitt, Joshua Abston, James Mitchell & Littleberry Paterson. It is assumed That James Mitchell is the husband of Lydia Hamrick the daughter of Setha Benjamin Hamrick. On November 16, 1778 the Prince Edward Co VA Deed Book 6, pg.185 shows Nathan & his wife Rebecca selling 200 acres to Fergus Mann. One year later on October 2, 1779 the VA Grants Book "A" , page 24 shows Nathan Thurman owning 669 Acres in Pittsylvania Co VA on both sides of Old Woman's Creek, a tributary of the Staunton (Roanoake) River. (Grant signed by Govenor of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson at Williamsburg). Was this Nathan Thurman's Grant for his Military Service during the Indian Wars??!! A request for information from the Virginia Baptist Historical Society shows a Nathan Thurman was "a candidate for preacher" at Valentine Creek Church (Roanoke Baptist Association) in Pittsylvania County in 1782, and this may be the Nathan we are concerned with; it also indicates probable residence in Pittsylvania County by at least 1782.
