Conflation Risk
The name Thomas Lester is a common name, and therefore there is a higher risk of confusing which Thomas a particular record should be attached. There are two Thomas Lesters in particular who have already been confused with each other. They both married women named Mary "Polly" before 1850:
(1) Thomas Lester
* Born ~1800 in Virginia
* Lived his life in Tazewell and McDowell counties.
* Married first Nancy Cline - had nine children with her.
* Married second Mary "Polly" Richards - had eight children with her.
* Died 1880 in McDowell county.
* Profile: https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/KL83-JM9
(2) THIS PROFILE - Thomas Mastin Lester
* Born ~1815 in Tazewell county.
* Lived his life in Tazewell and McDowell counties.
* Married Mary "Polly" Smith - had nine children with her.
* Died 1884 in McDowell county.
