About Mary Stockton

This is NOT Mary Golden.

Mary Golden was NOT a wife of Thomas Stockton.

Mary Golden, born c.1754, did NOT marry Thomas Stockton.

Mary Golden was NOT the mother of any of Thomas Stockton's children.

It has long been thought that Thomas Stockton Sr was married twice. First to Mary (nee unknown) Stockton, born c.1745, and second to Mary Golden in Henry County, Virginia. However, it appears that the 1775 Henry County, Virginia, marriage record of Thomas Stockton to Mary Golden is fiction, just a very bad transcription of a will record. Mary (nee unknown) Stockton, born c.1745, APPEARS to be the mother of ALL of Thomas Stockton's children. A 1771 Botetourt County, Virginia, deed record show Thomas' wife as Mary Stockton. A 1799 Sevier County, Tennessee, deed record shows Thomas' wife as Mary Stockton. It is possible that Thomas Stockton Sr married twice, and both times to a Mary, but it does not appear that he was ever married to Mary Golden.

Note: For over 40 years I have shown Mary Golden as the mother of my ancestor Robert Stockton (1783-1852). This was based on the 1775 marriage record of Thomas Stockton to Mary Golden. It now appears that the 1775 marriage record is not a marriage record at all, just a very bad transcription of a will record. I now show the mother of my Robert Stockton as Mary (nee unknown) Stockton born c.1745. Jerry Stockton
