General Notes: Husband - Sampson Thistle

---

After marriage near Cumberland, Maryland, he brought his bride, on horseback, to a clearing and cabin which he had previously prepared, about two miles above Fishing Creek on the Virginia side of the Ohio, where they lived to a ripe old age and brought up a family of eleven children. His grandson, Dr. Joseph Thistle owned one-half of these ancestral lands of nearly 900 acres.
