Thomas died at Whitby, in Ontario (now Durham) County. He is buried in the south Presbyterian section B. He does not have a headstone.
He was married March 16, 1839, at Pickering, Durham Co., Ontario, to Elizabeth Bates, the daughter of Ezra and Hannah Bates.
In 1826 Thomas was a Sergeant, in Company 8, 1st Northumberland Militia Regiment, commanded by his father.
Thomas lived in Whitby Village, where prior to 1847 he owned a hotel. It was a rough-cast structure, built pre-1828 and destroyed in 1990, and located at the northeast corner of Dundas and Euclid Streets.
In 1846 Thomas took out a tavern license for Whitby, and in 1847 built a new 2 1/2 story brick hotel and tavern named "Whitby House" but referred to as "Scripture's Inn." It was located at the southeast corner of Byron and Dundas Streets, and occupied a half acre of land, having a carriage house containing 7 carriages. The business required him to employ 4 employees. After Thomas died it was sold in 1863 to George Robson, and subsequently destroyed in 1891.
