He was captain of dragoons in the King William County militia in 1702. He held 1,000 acres in the county in 1704 and received a patent for the 1,800 acres included in his plantation as "Sweet Hall" on 5 Sep 1723. Thomas was the grandson of Governor William Claiborne of Crayford Parish, co. Kent, who arrived in Jamestown on the ship "George" in Oct 1621. Elizabeth Butler, wife of Governor Claiborne, was of royal and noble ancestry. Governor William Clayborne/Claiborne was an English pioneer, surveyor and an early settler in Virginia and Maryland, who became a wealthy planter, trader and a major figure in the politics of the colony. "William Claiborne may have been the most consistently influential politician in Virginia throughout the whole of the pre-Restoration period," wrote historian Robert Brenner.
