• Fact: http://familysearch.org/v1/LifeSketch Thomas Albritton, father of Matthew, was born in Pitt County, North Carolina in 1776, and in childhood moved with his parents, John and Averilla (Atherton) Albritton, to Effingham County, Georgia and became a resident of Bulloch County when it was created in 1796. After marrying Mary "Polly" Strickland ca. 1805, they lived for a time in Laurens County where on July 22, 1809 they by letter united with Popular Springs Baptist Church, but Thomas was expelled for fighting on November 7, 1812.

Thomas was a farmer, but fighting was in his blood. While in Bulloch County, he had been commissioned a lieutenant in the militia in August 1808. Removing to Bryan County about 1818, he in 1823 served as second lieutenant in the militia and was the county sheriff 1824-26. In 1838, now in Ware County, he served as a private in Capt. James Walker's Company, which was raised to repel the Indians. From 1841-45 he was a justice of the peace. Polly Albritton died ca. 1824, and Thomas later married Rhoda Strickland Parker, a cousin of Polly. They had eight children. In Pierce County, Georgia, Thomas died in 1865.
