[NI0468] According to information contained in a letter written by J. Alonzo Banks, in 1877, Thomas took a trip on his uncle’s vessel, in 1776, and upon their return found Boston Harbour blockaded, so he came to Nova Scotia and spent his minority with Colonel Lovitt. He was listed in the Annapolis Tax Roll of 1792, and was married, by banns, in that same year. [1]
Thomas came to Annapolis Co. in 1776 and lived with Colonel Lovitt.
