The Jones children's names are backwards, looking like James Emily and James Ragon. Sharlett is a black housekeeper. Most of the household numbers are marked out, I'm not sure if Sharlet lives with the Cooks, or is a separate household. There is a very large black community here.

| Notes |
- 1830 (not Beaufort, Fairfield, Greenville or Marion) possibly Spartanburg pg 242,284; or Laurens pg 29 (225).
Thomas's patent was south and west of the property that he and Nancy eventually made their home. There are no roads through it now but it was east of Cottaquilla Creek, centered vertically just about where White Plains Rd intersects Hwy 9 in the north and, from the satellite view, the north-south fence lines seem to mostly maintain the original boundaries. The property straddled the ridge.
Their second property was just north of White Plains straddling what is now Stone Ridge Trail South at Cottaquilla Mountain and included the southern three of the four properties now on the east side of the Trail. The west side property line looks to be directly south of the intersection with Stone Ridge Trail North.
