Land-Sell20 Sep 1839  In the fall of 1839 Thomas and Elizabeth sold their interest in a tract of land in Washington County to Orr Scott [Elizabeth's brother]. The tract had originally belonged to Hugh Scott [Elizabeth and Orr's father].4 
Cens-1840  Thomas and Elizabeth left Virginia shortly afterwards, moving south into Tennessee, where they settled in Bradley County. The 1840 census suggests there were 7 children in the home at that time.5 
Cens-185023 Oct 1850  Ten years later, on the first federal census to record all family members by name, 5 children were enumerated with Thomas and Elizabeth, including 6 year old Martha.2 
  This would suggest 3 children had either married or died between 1840 and 1850.

It is very likely there were additional children besides those listed below.
