On 1850 census, Morgan County, GA he lists he was born in Virginia- On 1880 census several of his children say born in NC. I think Virginia is more accurate since he gave information.About James father,Thomas(Sr.)- Records from Spottsylvania County, Virginia Book J- 1774-1782 says" August 16,1779, Tolliver (x) Craig of Spottsylvania County sold to Thomas (x) Almand of the same county, 124 acres of land in Spottsylvania County for 124 pounds currency...Wit: Benjamin Bradley, Reuben Emerson.

The sale of the above mentioned land could have been made just prior to said move, roads and transporation were such, in those days, that there was seldom a return to former abode,after a migration to distant parts were made. However, it is possible that Thomas Almand ,Sr did return to Virginia to close out his business, after the move to North Carolina, and after the birth of his son, Thomas, Jr., August 16,1779. ....and It is said that after the death of her husband, Ann, with her three sons,John,James,and Thomas, Jr. Migrated to Elbert County,Georgia, where the records show that she was given a grant of land by reason of the fact that she was a widow of a soldier of the last Indian Wars. 1784-1787.
