Note. The above accounting of property and sales does not include the 1735 acres of land upon which taxes were charged under the Act of Congress, entitled "An Act for the Collection of Direct Taxes in Insurrectionary Districts within the United States, and for other purposes" approved June 7, 1862, and the Act amendatory thereof approved February 6, 1863. The taxes in the amount of $21.11 were paid on in the name of Jonathan Thomas December 7, 1865.

Jonathan Thomas also advanced considerable sums of money to his children prior to his death and made these sums absolute gifts in his will dated February 28, 1863.

According to the above settlement of Jonathan Thomas' estate Jane and Harriet advanced $1600.00 to E L Miller, Executor, as the $1157.02 proceeds from the sale of Jonathan's personal property was not sufficient to cover his debts. Jane and Harriet received the homeplace as directed in Jonathan's will.
