    Thomas was representative from Boston to the General Court in 1731, and Speaker 1742 to 1747. He was a merchant of Boston, distinguished for his wealth, ability, zeal in his country’s service, integrity, and in a peculiar manner for his piety. He was frequently chosen moderator of their famous town meetings, and was moderator of the thown meeting 3 Sep 1742 when Boston voted thanks to Peter Faneuil Esq. for the gift of the Market House and Town Hall. He was a member of the Old South Church, then under the pastorate of the immortal Paul Prince, who in his funeral discourse says of him: ‘I found that in a small, relaxed and feeble body, dwelt a great, alively, strong and well composed soul.’ James S.
