Richard T. Thurman and his son Phillip Thurman were on Buck MountainCreek and Dayles(?) River in 1776. Those of the name in the BuckMountain Region seem to have disposed of their property and removedfrom the County in 1790. Previous to the latter date, the Thurmanswere settled on the West side of the South West Mountain, nearHammock's Gap, which is now generally called after the family, ThurmanGap.

Phillip Thurmond became a prosperous farmer. In 1733, he bought 100acres and began to
clear it. Since VA was a colony then, he got the land from King GeorgeII of England. It cost
him 10 shillings! That doesn't seem like much, but back in 1733 itwould buy about as much as $100 will now. So he paid about $1.00 foreach acre. The land was on the Southern fork of Byrd Creek in what isnow Fluvanna Co., VA. This was about 50 miles west of his father,Richard T. Thurmond's farm in Hanover Co. It was Goochland Co. thenand when Albemarle Co. was formed in 1744 Phillip's farm was inAlbemarle Co. Thomas Jefferson said that the two days' horseback ridefrom that area to the Albemarle Co. Courthouse in Charlottesville wastoo great a hardship for the farmers there, so he helped draft apetition, which Philip's son, Thomas, signed, to form Fluvanna Co
