From the Book Rev. Soldiers in Alabama:
GRESHAM, THOMAS, (1761-1816) served as private in Capt. Robert Powell's company, Col. Thomas Marshall's 3rd Virginia regiment. He was born in Amherst County. Va.; died in Lauderdale County, Alabama.—D.A.R. Lineage Book; Vol. 117, page 272.
I couldn't find him listed in Gresham Cemetery. I wonder if it is unmarked?
