Thomas, his wife, and their children left Portugal in 1810 and sailed to the United States,to escape the Napoleonic War. Oporto, had been sacked by the French Army. They arrived at the Port of Baltimore, Maryland.
In 1811, when the United States conflict with Great Britain threatened the American coastline, the family moved to Philadelphia.

In 1850 Solomon moved, with his extended family, to the Town of Leroy in Genesee County, New York to open a medical practice.
