His Revolutionary service has been approved on several applications by the DAR. The National Archives has no military records on file although he was granted a pension. Their explanation is that the military records burned in one of the several fires these records suffered. Thomas had died by 1804 when his will was probated. His wife, Agnes Williams, was a sister of Sarah Williams, who married Thomas' brother Nelson Gibson.
Thomas served as a Sergeant during the Revolutionary War for NC in 1782. He and his brother Nelson rode with the Swamp Fox (Francis Marion )
