Thomas Golden (Patriarch), of Newberry, South Carolina, born before 1735

Our family story begins about 1760 in Newberry, South Carolina with a farmer by the name of Thomas Goulden or Thomas Golden.

Thomas Golden was born before 1741 based upon him being nominated for a land grant in 1762, which should have required him to be age 21+ at that time. If presumed son William was born about 1750 and possible daughter Elender Golden was born about 1745 then Thomas would have probably been born before 1725, or thereabouts at the latest. Where Thomas was born is unknown.
