Thomas and his brother Henry entered the land ballot of the New Zealand Company held in London on 29th July, 1839. Each lot consisted of one acre in town and 100 acres in the country at one pound per acre. Thomas was allocated one acre at 100 Abel Tasman Street and Henry at 203 Dixon Street.
On 18th September they left London hastily in the “Adelaide” as there was a movement to stop this colonising scheme. The “Aurora” and “Oriental” arrived within four months but the “Adelaide” had a six month long eventful voyage.
