Ramzi, I am not 100% positive, but I think that one of his descendants in northern Virginia is Tom Macon, Chairman of Grantham University. Perhaps if you sent him an email or left a voice mail at the university,he might be able to help in your research.
Good Luck!
This isn't a serious post about Tom Macon, but I thought for those researching the name that this would be humorous. I came across a site called www.Tom-Macon-Us.blogspot.com and it is very funny. The guy that is blogging is also named Tom Macon and he claims to be the biggest lover of bacon in the US. I don't know if that part is true, but he has a pic of his exposed stomach and it is massive. Just for fun, take a peek!
I am somehow related to Tom Macon who married Mary Bowden. I'll have to get up with my great Uncle so I can come back and share the details with everyone. Does anyone have any details on Charles T. Henesey born in 1702 in Suffolk, England? He was a baker for the King's Court.
There is a chance Tom Macon that you mention is related to me on my mother's side. Does anyone have his maternal DNA? Does anyone know if Tom Macon mentioned above has any black lineage on his maternal side? If so, please tell me how I can research more, and thanks for this site.
I am very inerested in learning more about your Macon family. My gggrandmother was Dorcas B. Macon,and was first married to Riley Macon. They were first cousins, but did not realize it until many years after their marriage was consummated. Riley Macon died around 1829 from a heart attack during a painful attack of stomach gas and worms. I have a copy of his will. In it he lists his children as, Della, Karole, Joseph-Mark, Jane, Adaline, Mary and my ggrandmother Louisa. Signing the will as a witness was Benjamin Button Banks. Benjamin and James were co-administrators of the estate. This was in Macon County, Georgia.
In 1851 Dorcas married Jackson Dumfrey in Montgomery County, Ohio and had a deaf mute son, Charles N. Dumfrey. In 1862 she married Alexander Bean and carried this name until her death, sometime between 1870 and 1880. Bean was a pirate of sorts and sported a peg leg. His nickname was woody. She resided in Pike County from around 1844 on. It is believed, she might have been buried at sea. Her children married: City b. 1815 first to Gayle Frizzell, then Nelson Padgett, Caroline to James M. Mills, Joseph ( I have nothing on him) Jane m. Elbert W. Jackson, Mary m. Martin M. Nall, Adaline m. John Sherwood and Louisiana first married John W. Armstrong, second to William James Chancey. All the marriages but Adaline were in Montgomery County, Al. Adaline married in Macon County, Al. but resided in Bullock. Charles N. Mallett married Isabell McKeiver and resided in Pike County until his death, which resulted from choking on a cherry pit concealed in a cherry cobbler made by Adelaide Washington. It is assumed they were having a tryst that ended badly.
My students will like this blog, I will show them in the morning. Thanks.

The photo is of an Oregon Pioneer, named Thomas Clark! This is NOT Gideon T. Macon. http://www.oregonpioneers.com/graphics/ThomasClarkSr.jpg
Hi,
I am actually a descendant and can trace all of this information on my ancestry account.
We have many pictures and accounts and this is definitely not him pictured here.
Also, the accounting does not line up completely.
I’m happy to answer anything that I might be able to.
Best
I live on the WJ Macon land.... a descendant as am I. always wondered about the picture. Didn't think it to be authentic. I live nearby Holly Springs church. Gideon T Macon 1758 lies in this cemetery. The grave is marked. He and his brother JohnIII married the Mary &Elizabeth Bowden sisters and are living in Randolph County by 1790. He is most likely the Son of John Macon Jr. Of Virginia. Gideon T remarried R. Hindshaw John III remarried a Needham woman. The brothers had children by both marriages that populated Randolph County NC . Many would become nonviolent, nonslaveholding Quakers .
I can probably answer Macon family questions regarding this Gideon T Macon 1758 of Randolph Co NC
