The Columbia Encyclopedia in which you found that information has likely confused "corruption of blood" with actual "attainder." Young Thomas was "corrupt of blood" in the wake of his father's attainder, as were all of his siblings, male and female. But he was not himself attainted since he was not indicted and did not himself stand trial and receive a conviction.PhD Historianhttps://somegreymatter.comnoreply@blogger.com
