Thomas Heady, Sr. was born ca 1725, probably in New Jersey. He married Rebecca Stillwell on 6/24/1749 at Egg Harbor, N.J. Records have been found on Thomas Heady, Sr. in 1769 in Fayette Co., PA. He was listed among the Bedford County tax rolls in 1773 and in Westmoreland Co., PA in 1783. By 1785, he was back in Georges Twp., Fayette Co., PA. Thomas' property in Fayette Co. was not far from Brownfield, PA. Neigbors were: Thomas, Jr. Obadiah Truax, John Reiley, John Goodwine, Stillwell brothers and Drakes.
In 1793, Thomas purchased a 200 acre farm in Nelson Co., KY, near Thompson's and Simpson's Creeks. However, Thomas was in Nelson Co., KY by 1791 as he witnessed a deed there on 12/01/1791. According to the Heady Newsletters, Thomas Headdy signed petition no. 54 in 1787, requesting a division of Bourbon County. The signers stating they lived on the limestone settlements near the Ohio River and 40 miles from the county seat.
There is some doubt that Thomas' wife's maiden name was Stillwell due to information obtained from their marriage record.
