 THE STORY AS I KNOW IT.

Thomas Street was born 1745 in Orange County VA. His parents were Anthony Street and "Betsey" Elizabeth Brockman. Both parents came from respected, involved families in the early life of Virginia history.

Thomas married Lucy, last name unknown, about 1770. They had at least nine children:
1. Elizabeth "Betsey" Street, born about 1771
2. Anthony Street, born about 1773
3. Simon Thomas Street, born about 1775
4. John Street, born about 1777
5. Nancy Street, born about 1779
6. Franky Street – a daughter, born about 1781
7. Nimrod Street born about 1784, married Catherine Parrack
8. Lewviny Street, born about 1785
9. Lucy Street born about 1787

In 1795 the family was living in Rutherford Ct, North Carolina. Thomas wrote a will on August 23, 1795. It was proved January 1, 1800 in that county. In the will he lists "four youngest daughters: Nancy, Franky, Lewviny and Lucy. To each one cow & calf, a feather bed and furniture equal to the value that my eldest, Elizabeth has in her possession, as they come of age." Then "youngest son, Nimrod, 1 horse, valued at 15 pounds when he comes of age. Balance of the estate to wife Lucy. At her death all to be divided amongst all my children without exception. "
The executors were his wife Lucy and son Anthony. Witnesses: Robert H Taylor, Joseph Grayson, and William Forbers .

This is in  Rutherford Ct Will Book B, pag 106. Approximate birth dates for the children were derived from this document.  I have a copy.

The Rutherford County 1800 Census strongly implies that Lucy died soon after her husband Thomas. Listed is the family::
Betsey Street with 1 male 16-26 (Nimrod)
1 female 26-40 (Betsey)
1 female 16-26 (Franky)
2 females 10-16 (Lewviny & Lucy)
The order and age of the young daughters is based on the order given in the will.

Anthony, Simon and John are all heads of families on the 1800 Rutherford County census with no older woman living with them.
