Four of the fourteen brothers came to Kentucky. Joshua moved to Hart County, David and Samuel to Edmonson County, and Thomas to Christian County.

In 1820 he moved from Trigg County to the Sinking Fork community in Christian County. Thomas' older brother Moses died in Halifax County, Va. However, two of Moses' sons, James T.,Sr. and Samuel S. came to the Sinking Fork community after Thomas.

As far as it is known, Thomas Woosley was the last Revolutionary War soldier to die in Christian County.

There are no known direct descendants of Thomas living in Christian County. Research is still being done on Thomas and his family.
