In the spring of 1776, Thomas enlisted in the Company of John Pugh in Chester, PA. He served in the 13th Pennsylvania State Regiment of Colonel Walter. Thomas fought in the battles of Germantown, Monmouth, Stony Point, and White Plains. From July 6, 1777 to October 27, 1777, Thomas served at Brandewine. He was discharged in 1781. When he returned home to Hampshire County, Thomas married Sarah (Sally) Norman, who was possible the widow of John Norman who was the son of Alexander Orrahud's neighbor William Norman.
