On 8/8/1820 he applied to the Pension Commission of the Federal Government from Shenandoah Co. VA where he was then residing. He listed as dependents his wife and daughters Elizabeth, Lucy, and Nelly. He was granted Pension No. S-38321. Listed on pension roll of 1835. The biggest problem with the assumption that Thomas Purdom of GA is a son of this Thomas is that Zachariah he seems to have been born at the same time and to have lived at the right places to be a son.
