The Find a Grave memorial mentioned and other sources suggest that Thomas was born earlier (11 Jan 1724 • Sandwich, Barnstable, Province of Massachusetts Bay)

Hannaford-329 Jean (Hannaford) Paradis
However, several sources state he was the son of Joseph Swift's second wife, Rebecca Clarke Ellis Morton, whom he married on 4 Mar 1731; birth unlikely to be prior to marriage, to this older couple.
