Educated at Abingdon College in Abingdon, Illinois, Tom was a teacher and a surveyor. He surveyed the town of Monmouth, Oregon, and with his brother, William, surveyed many areas of southwest Oregon. He was Polk County Clerk at the time of his death. His brother-in-law, Elijah D. Butler, wrote of Tom 2 Sep 1855: "(Thomas) has a job of surveying for the Territory.....I don't think he will make more than moderate wages for, you know, it takes him all day to talk and smoke."
