"Lieutenant Thomas, b. in England, 1612; m. in Braintree, 1642, Mary [Blackmore?]. According to Shattuck [History of Concord] Thomas removed with his brothers Samuel and John from Braintree to Concord, Mass., in 1646, John going thence west to West Cambridge (now Arlington) and Thomas and Samuel settling in the west part of the town of Chelmsford in 1650-4.
He was chosen chief Sergeant of the military company in 1659, but the County Court refused to confirm him on account of his religious views. He was confirmed in April, 1660 upon solemnly agreeing not to disseminate his principles or notions contrary to what the church doth confessedly own and practice. He was chosen Ensign in 1678, and Lieutenant in 1682, in the company of which his brother Samuel was Captain. He was Town Clerk, Selectman, Commisioner or Representative to the General Court. He d. in Chelmsford, 20 July, 1688, age 76."
