| - | ==Possible Fathers of '''This Thomas'''== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | It is not entirely clear who exactly Thomas' father was. There are several possibilities that I will mention below. What is clear is that there has been some confusion in the records which have resulted in a historic contract wherein this Thomas has been confused with both his father and his son. This Thomas referred in his will to his son Thomas by his middle name (his mother's maiden name) "Avery" in order to avoid confusion between the various Mustain men named Thomas who resided in the area and who were all related. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===The Four Thomases=== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Thomas Muscheon (Sea Captain turned colonizer with widespread land holdings in VA, MD, and Carolina, descendant of Ancient Planters..ancestors were primarily from Auvergne, Castille, Provence, and the Piedmont. They include the following names Muscheon/Moncieux, Legare/Ligon, De La Mere, Bannister, Marestang, Auson/Dausson, Boucher/Buckner, Astorg, Fougere and possibly Melancon/Melancton/Ironmonger) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Thomas Musteen/Mustain (The meztizo [Metis]), This Thomas was a former sea captain who married twice, author of the Thomas Mustain will. He claimed land in VA that was originally deeded to his father. Mother of this Thomas was either a Jones or Legare) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Thomas Avery Mustain (Father of daughters, commonly referred to as Thomas the Immigrant, Revolutionary Soldier, Father of Saludy I) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Thomas Mustain (Son of Jesse Mustain and Jenny Bufort, Grandson of Thomas the Meztizo, Father of Saludy II, Revolutionary Soldier) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===The Three Ludies=== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In addition to the confusion over the various Thomases... was the confusion over the three Saludy's (Daughters of Thomas) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | *Ludy/Ludie (Sister of Thomas the Meztizo) | + | |
| - | *Saludy I (Daughter of Thomas Avery the Immigrant, who married a Shelton (Not Claiborne)) | + | |
| - | *Saludy II (Daughter of Thomas son of Jesse, who married Claiborne Shelton, her sister in law Martha Shelton married Mr Mansfield the son of a Sea Captain.) | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | This family was heavily invested in legitimate (and less than legitimate) trade between French holdings in the Caribbean and East Indies and British Markets. | + | |

| - | ==Origin of the name== | + | |
| - | As a play on his paternal name Muscheon, Thomas was nicknamed "the Musteen" (meaning Quadroon) indicating either a possible mixed race ancestry, or a genetic predisposition to Methemoglobinemia (blue bloodedness), which rendered a person dark complected with a touch of blue pigmentation on the face and hands. Given his ties to the families of Legare, Moncieux, and Fougere (all of which are related families) Methemoglobinemia is the most likely reason for the nickname. | + | |
