I am curious if you have found anything more about Thomas S. Lloyd. I have certain facts that make me think he is the grandson of Thomas Lloyd of Orange County, NC but a couple of facts that make me doubt that.
Thomas Lloyd has been difficult to establish his ancestry. People have been trying since the mid-1920's. It seems that Thomas Lloyd was a popular name in Caswell County, NC.; Orange County, NC.; as well as Pennsylvania. And he states in a couple of places he was from Pennsylvania & then states Delaware. Learning the history of the people from Wales, all are entirely possible!
I would interested in your facts though. I honestly think DNA will be how his ancestry is solved.
I found a petition for the will of Joseph McCulloch filed by Thomas Lloyd and his wife Jane and Thomas Johnston and his wife Mary (both daughters of Joseph). It was filed in Orange County, NC which is where Thomas and Jane were married and also where Major Thomas Lloyd (1710 - 1792) lived. Maj. Thomas Lloyd was politically active in the same circles that Henry McCulloch (of the same family line) was involved in.
Maj. Thomas Lloyd mentions a grandson, Thomas Lloyd, son of Stephen, in his will. It is the only son of Stephen mentioned. Stephen was killed a year earlier and his will only mentions his wife Martha, however in 1823 (32 years after his death) there is a petition filed for his estate by 3 sons, Thomas, Henry, and Stephen, once their mother passed.
The only thing that makes me think Thomas Samuel would NOT be the grandson is the mention of Delaware on the 1850 census.
That is what I have so far but I am still digging.
Immediately after I sent you the last response, I found Martha Lloyds will. She mentions a William Walker in her will. William Walker is also mentioned in the petition of Thomas & Jane and Thomas Johnston & Mary. I think this may prove the link.
interesting! I believe I have the will of Joseph McCulloch. I will look at it again. If you study the history of the Welsh in Pennsylvania & Delaware, there is a movement between the 2 places. Somewhere I have that information. Might be a few days before I dig it out!
