Thomas's oldest son was also named Thomas (1680-1756), and he continued the family's residence in Newbury. With this Thomas we have the first sign of piety in the family; he was named a deacon--a member of the governing council--of the Second Church of Newbury and helped to organize the Fourth Parish Church of Newbury, of which he was also a deacon. As such, he would have been a prominent man in town.[6]

He had a deed of 34 acres in "the Upper Woods" from his father, 3 Jun 1700, and settled on lot No. 145, which, with additions, is now owned by his descendants, the Thurlows, proprietors of the widely-known Cherry Hill Nurseries.

He and his wife were admitted to the Second Church of Newbury, 10 Sep 1705, and he was chosen a deacon, 21 Jan 1725/26. The Fourth Parish was organized, 5 Sep 1731, and he was one of the original signers of the covenant. He then became a deacon of the Fourth Parish Church. This was in what is now West Newbury.

In his will, dated 10 Dec 1748, proved 1 Mar 1756, he mentions his widow, his sons, Abel, Roger, Ezekiel and Josiah, his daughter, Abigail Emery, and his granddaughters, Martha and Sarah Bartlett. His son, Thomas, was to be executor and residuary legatee. He referred to his carpenter's tools, his weaver's tools, and to "his clock which is now in the house, made by David Blasdell of Amesbury."[15]
