From a letter written by JOHN LAY, Olyphic, North Carolina, Novemeber 29 1929 to J. Austin Best, Augusta, Georgia. (John Lay was born in 1866): " Now I will attempt to tell you about Thomas Frink, as best as I can from what my father told me about him. He lived on a plantation on Pireway Road. He Married Rebecca Gore and had two children by her. I have never heard of his having three children like you said. He had no brothers or sisters. His father died during the Revolutionary War".

In the 1790 Census, RUTH FRINK, the widow of JABESH FRINK, i shown with a son under the age of sicteen as the only other member of her house. Th fact that this was THOMAS FRINK, who married Rebecca Gore is further strengthened by his son, William, havig a child names Jabesh Frink. According to the letter of John Lay, it is further strengthened by the fact that Thomas Frink had no brothers or Sisters.
