Thomas was nineteen years old when he was convicted for stealing but was twenty years old when he was tried. He could not read or write.

The 1836 and 1837 musters show that Thomas was allocated to Doctor Bartholomew O'Brien/O'Brian in the St Vincent district. Thomas along with Sandy McCormack absconded from Henry Osborne Esqu. J.P. having been sent to him by Dr. O'Brien. Thomas appeared in Court on 4 April 1838 with Thomas being sentenced to six months in iron and Sandy to two months on the tread mill.

He appeared in Court again on 11 April 1846 in Raymond Terrace, New South Wales, charged with assault, along with Patrick Dryden. The Circuit Court at Maitland sentenced Thomas to two years and Patrick to eighteen months. Thomas' sentence was commuted on 19 October 1847.

Thomas and Ann were both living in Ipswich, Queensland when they married in 1849. Their first child, William was born in Wattle Flat, Central Tablelands, New South Wales in March 1852.
