  • Name Thomas Proctor 
    Prefix Capt. 
    Birth Abt 1726  [4, 5
    • The Columbia Sentinel record says he died at age 60, as opposed to 69 the the VRs have. But based on what appear to be large distances of time between births and baptisms of Joseph & Remember's children, it's possible he was born even earlier making the age 69 at death valid and making him the husband of Mary Darling.

    Notes 
    • The suspected ages of the children at birth and dates of baptisms just seem very inconsistent. Since Nicholas and William were baptized together - after Thomas, you would figure they were about the same age. But that doesn't seem to fit Nicholas, especially the way his family is laid out in Thomas' will. [14]

    Notes 
    • I've decided this is the only relationship that fits these two. Based on probate records, thay don't appear to be the parents of Thomas baptized in 1744/5. [15]
