Hi, John Green Thurmond is my GGG Grandfather, I trace my line through his son John Hermodius Thurmond. What specifically do you need to know?

I would like a copy of his will. My line tries in with his son, Erasmus Darwin Thurmond.I have several difference courts records retaining to him, but not his will. Do you happen to have a divorce degree from his first wife Polly Howell?

I'm sorry, I don't have his will, and I did not know he was married prior to Nancy Sturgis! Maybe I need to ask YOU for information!

The county clerk in Pulaski County, Tennessee, was very helpful to us with documents pertaining to our line (John Hermodius Thurmond) so she is probably your best bet.

One quick question, as I have not researched other lines from Dr. John Green Thurmond, but my grandmother (Myrtle Elizabeth Thurmond-Kobitz) used to tell the story that Strom Thurmond was descended from John Green Thurmond.. do you have any information about that?

Best,

Here is what I have. Strom Thurmond's g,g,g,grandfather was William T Thurmond. He and John Thurmond were brothers. John was John Green Thumond's father.

John and William parents were John Thurmond Sr. and Elizabeth Gutridge Goode
