Thomas marries "Jane Rowley" in the Whitbourne parish church by banns on
20 May 1819.
At the death of Jane's brother, Samuel, in 1839, the farm, "The Ford,"
becomes property of Jane and Thomas.
The family emigrates to Utah in three groups. Their son, Joseph, and his
new wife, Jane Burraston, leave Whitbourne in January 1852; Thomas,
Jane and three children (George, John and Jane) emigrate in January 1853;
their oldest daughter, Ann, with her husband, John William Townsend, and
their children emigrate in March 1860.
Thomas died in Millcreek, Utah, on 4 Dec 1870 of "old age." He is buried in
Salt Lake City Cemetery.
