Thomas Priest1

b. 1786
Family
Birth*1786Thomas Priest was born about 1786 in Virginia.1 
Relationship Note*Thomas Jefferson Priest's relationship to the Priest family is uncertain to us. He was enumerated on the 1850 census in the household of Thomas Priest (1786 - ), whose wife we have not identified. He was recorded that year as Jefferson Priest, was 29 years of age and married with one son. He and his family were listed by the census taker after Thomas's daughter-in-law, Phoebe Priest, and her five children. Phoebe's husband, Thomas Priest (1805- ), was a son of Thomas Priest (1786- ) and identified at the time of their marriage as Thomas Priest Jr. It is doubtful to us that the elder Thomas Priest (1786- ) would have named two sons Thomas while both boys were living. It is clear to us that Thomas Jefferson Priest was not the son of Phoebe and Thomas Priest Jr. (1805- ) because they didn't marry until 1826 and Thomas Jefferson's year of birth has been recorded, by different sources, as between 1816 and 1821. He could have been the son of Thomas Jr. (1805- ) and an earlier wife or relationship, however that seems unlikely to us also, as Thomas Jr. would have been a young teenager at Jefferson's birth -- and we still run into the same issue of two sons named Thomas. We definitely have too many Priests named Thomas! Our "best guess" at his point is that Thomas Jefferson Priest was a nephew or other relative of Thomas Priest (1786-.2,3,4 ) 
Census US 1850*28 August 1850Thomas Priest was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 28 August 1850 in District 73, Ralls County, Missouri. He was 64 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $5,000. His daughter-in-law, Phoebe Ann (Urton) Priest, widow of his son Thomas Jr., was enumerated with her children in her father-in-law's household in 1850, as was Jefferson Priest with his wife and son. Phoebe Priest was 45 years of age, and her five children ranged in age from 19 years to 9 months. Anna E. was 19 years old; Thomas W. was 16 years old, worked as a laborer, and had also attended school within the census year; Warren and Preston were ages 15 and 12, respectively, and had both also attended school within the census year; and baby Mary W. was 9 months old. Jefferson Priest was 29 years of age and a school teacher; his wife Amelia was age 26 and their young son, Theodore, was one year old.1 
Census US 1860*11 August 1860Thomas Priest was enumerated on the 1860 census taken on 11 August 1860 in Clay, Ralls County, Missouri. He was 74 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $16,000 and a personal estate valued at $13,200. Three of his grandchildren, children of his son and daughter-in-law, Phoebe and Thomas Priest Jr., were enumerated with him in 1860. Thomas W. and Preston Priest were ages 26 and 23, respectively, and both were farmers with their grandfather; and Mary W. Priest was 11 years old and had attended school within the census year.5

He and his family were listed by the census taker after Thomas's daughter-in-law, Phoebe Priest, and her five children. Phoebe's husband, Thomas Priest (1805- ), was a son of Thomas Priest (1786- ) and identified at the time of their marriage as Thomas Priest Jr. It is doubtful to us that the elder Thomas Priest (1786- ) would have named two sons Thomas while both boys were living. It is clear to us that Thomas Jefferson Priest was not the son of Phoebe and Thomas Priest Jr. (1805- ) because they didn't marry until 1826 and Thomas Jefferson's year of birth has been recorded, by different sources, as between 1816 and 1821. He could have been the son of Thomas Jr. (1805- ) and an earlier wife or relationship, however that seems unlikely to us also, as Thomas Jr. would have been a young teenager at Jefferson's birth -- and we still run into the same issue of two sons named Thomas. We definitely have too many Priests named Thomas! Our "best guess" at his point is that Thomas Jefferson Priest was a nephew or other relative of Thomas Priest (1786-.2,3,4 )
