Thomas, Jr. moved to Derbyshire, England with his father around 1660. By the late 1690's he was living near the Patapsco River, north-west of present day Baltimore, Maryland. The first known record of him comes in 1698 when he witnessed the will of John North, which he signed as Thomas Earp, Jr. It is worth noting that in his will, John North had three daughters (mentioned by first name only), and the will was witnessed by three men. These may well have been his sons-in-law, so Thomas Earp's wife may have been a North.
