Theophilus married first in 1729, Elizabeth Sherman, of Newport, Rhode Island, by whom he had one son, Theophilus, and from who he was subsequently divorced. He married 2d, in March, 1745, Lydia, widow of Hezekiah Pierpont, and only child of Rev. Jacob Hemingway, the first minister of East Haven. He settled first in Guilford, on the east side of the village green, about 1730, but before 1748 removed to Killingworth, now Clinton, where he died Nov 22 1766, age 63 and his widow Lydia died May 27 1779, age also 63. The house he occupied in Guilford still stands. He was chosen captain of the first company of Killingworth, on March 15, 1756, was a merchant and land holder of distinction, and left a large estate. The Killingworth and Clinton Morgans are mostly descendants of him.
