"Spring Creek" Thomas Stockton, Sr., (c.1740-1809)

"Spring Creek" Thomas Stockton, Sr., was born about 1740 in Goochland (now Albemarle) County, Virginia. He was a son of Agnes (nee unknown) and Richard Stockton, Sr., and a grandson of Davis Stockton (c.1685-1761) of Albemarle County, Virginia.

What appeared to be a marriage record for Thomas Stockton and Mary Golden is actually just part of Jacob Golden's will. Mary Golden was the wife / widow of Jacob Golden. Thomas Stockton and Mary Golden were NOT married, and she was NOT the mother of any of his children. A 1771 deed record and a 1799 deed record prove that the first name of Thomas' wife was Mary, unfortunately, her maiden name is not known.

By 1783 Thomas Stockton, Sr., and his wife Mary (nee unknown) Stockton were living on the north side of the French Broad River in what is now Sevier County, Tennessee. In about 1795 Thomas Stockton moved his family to Cumberland (now Clinton) County, Kentucky. Thomas Stockton was the first settler in what is now Clinton County and Stockton's Valley is named after him.

Thomas settled on Spring Creek in Stockton's Valley. He was one of the charter members of the Clear Fork Baptist Church.
