Thomas was a blacksmith and came to Guilford 1695, either at the request of the settlers or upon a private enterprise. He was given no grant of land and the records show he made no purchase until about 1725 when he established a home at Nut Plains. Where he lived in Guildford settlement is unknown, he may have lived on "Crooked Lane", State Street, near or with Stephen Bradley. The home he established has long since disappeared. He was a steady citizen but never prominent, a man amoung men, content to forge the iron for himself and neighbors who battled the wilderness and laid bare the forest for the plow.. Thomas d. Oct 19, 1729, age about 56 years. No special epitaph marks his passing. He was buried on the Guilford Green with the other early settlers and his grave marked by a simple finely carved sandstone monument, when it was determined to clear the Green of monuments and obliterate the cemetery, the gravestone of Thomas, with others were removed to the church.. The records show it was finally removed to the premises of George Griswold on Boston Street, where it has lain for perhaps a hundred years, His gravestone has recently been found but is almost illegible and well worn.
