Narrative

Commonly believed David is William's brother. Assuming he was at least 21 years old in these records:
Martha Hurt married David Thomas [_If_ this is him!] in Amelia County, Va. by bond dated November 27, 1784 => b.<1763
David Thomas sold several livestock with their "moveable property" to Adam Teal 23 Dec 1790 => b<1769.
Thomas, Ephraim and Caty Teal, dau. Adam and Mary,Jan. 19, 1791. Sur. David Thomas => b.<1770
1799 Franklin Co, VA Tax List: William, David, and Ephriam Thomas => b.<1778
In 1820 Smith Co, TN , he is 45+ years old => b.<1775

David is believed to have died in the early 1820's in Jackson Co, TN like brother William.

Note if born after 1770 David could be William's son instead - the eldest brother of Ephraim. If Ephraim followed English naming conventions, then David as 4th son would be his eldest brother. David Thomas was a bondsman for Ephraim's marriage to Caty Teel, which would be more likely if David was his elder brother.

Kenneth Thomas thinks David is William's son, and William is much older, like b.1731. No evidence offered.
