Notes
It is not entirely clear who exactly Thomas' father was. There are several possiblities that I will mention belowl. 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.
- 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, Legare/Ligon, De La Mere, Bannister, Marestang, Auson/Dausson, Boucher/Buckner, and possibly Melancon/Melancton/Ironmonger)
- Thomas Musteen/Mustain (The meztizo (Quadroon), 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)
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.

Parentage
Many Mustain descendants have various theories with regard to possible fathers for the first known Thomas. Various books have been published in which various theories have been advanced. Some descendants of Haly Mustain (Son of Avery Mustain and Mary Burford Shelton have their possession transcripts of turn of the century (19-20th century) interviews with surviving members of the family who were intimately connected with the persons involved with the migration from VA to Ohio in the 1840s. This is where the branch in the family occurs with many of the descendants of Thomas Mustain remaining part of the Confederacy whilst others moved first to West Virginia then Ohio. These interviews clearly state that Haly spoke French and maintained that the Mustain family was of French origin.
Since details beyond this are unclear it is possible that the specific family of Haly (who relocated to Ohio) represented an influx of Jesse Mustain cousins from either Quebec (with French holdings in the Ohio River Valley), the French Islands (Martinique), France (Marestang), or Vrangea (Genovese Moldavia) who resided with relatives for a time in VA following the Revolution before relocating to Ohio. Haly's relationship to Thomas Avery Musteen (the Immigrant) is demonstrated by the continuation of the names Jesse, Avery, Thomas, Mahally, and Haley in the lineage of Haly Mustain of Ohio.
yDNA testing would be required to sort out the various Mustain lineage relationships prior to validating the ancestry of any or all of the various Thomas Mustains.
