Le,  At the time Marion was appointed a Brigadier, Captain John Milton was
his aide, and junior aides were Captain Lewis Ogier and Captain Thomas
Elliott (Swamp Fox, The life and campaigns of General Francis Marion by
Robert D. Bass).  I assume the person you are looking for was a (surname)
Thomas.  Could it be that Captain Thomas Elliott's mother was a (surname)
Thomas before her marriage?  It is also possible that Marion had other aides
later in the war.

There is a mention of a Thomas Plantation "nearly opposite Cheraw Hill" from
where Governor Rutledge sent hs letter appointing Marion as a Brigadier.
That is the only "Thomas" in the index of the above book.
