Thomas served in Colonel Moseley’s regiment in the Revolution, 1777. He was wounded 28 Apr 1777 at Danbury Twp, CT, during the “Danbury Alarm.”, His wounds included a hip wound, and a wound 3 inches above the arm. For this he received a 50% disability pension.

Thomas is listed in the National Archives unit files as being in a hospital in Roxbury, CT, in mid-November 1775, cause: fever. This record indicates his unit was Capt. Thompson’s company, Gen. Wooster’s regiment. A web page on the Revolutionary war indicates that this unit fought in the invasion of Canada, in 1775. This places Thomas in the same campaign as Stephen Phelps.
