Hi all,
The Duncan Creek site is mine, you can access it here

http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/9708/dcem.html
There is no listing for Thomas, and I myself have
never seen one. I have been in touch with the current
deacons at the Church, most of the records before 1750
were burned during the Revolution. The person to
contact for info would be Mr. James (Buddy) Copeland
of Copeland's Hardware in Laurens. There are also
listings in the Laurens Cemetery book, of which I have
a copy (Vol I). I am very doubtful that we will ever
be able to document Joseph's parents.
