He was husband to Elizabeth Gwillim (nee Spinkes).

Thomas passed away in 1762, an officer in the army, attaining the rank of colonel a few years before his death. He served in Canada, one of the three Majors of Brigade of General Wolfe at Quebec. He died seven months before the birth of his daughter.
