Thomas married Mary ???. Mary was born about 1820 in North Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Her maiden name might be Jones, or she might have been widowed from a Jones. At the time of the 1850 census, 6 year old Josephine and Octavia Jones were living with the Dandy family. They were living next door to the Mathew Jones family, also of North Carolina. If she was the widow Jones, then it would appear that only the youngest Dandy child, 1 year old Theodore would be hers. The other older children would likely have been born in Thomas by a prior marriage. Note the 6 year gap and age between 7 year old Martha and 1 year old Theodore.
