Marriage He married Jane Hutton, daughter of James Hutton and Isabel Orr. They were first cousins on their mother's side. 
Childhood  Both families were originally from York (now Adams) County, Pennsylvania and had migrated south into Washington County, Virginia. Thomas and Jane no doubt knew each other from childhood as their fathers both owned land along the waters of Hutton Creek in Washington County. The close ties remained in Virginia as Jane's half-sister Rachel Hutton married Thomas' brother Arthur McCalll.3 
Migration  In the early 1830s, Jane and Thomas, accompanied by several of Jane's siblings, left Virginia and moved into Kentucky where they settled in Anderson County.  
Land-Sell15 Aug 1832  They were residents of Anderson County by Aug. 1832 when they sold 111 acres back in Washington County, Virginia to Arthur McCall [Thomas' brother] for $1,035. In 1839 they sold Arthur an additional 12 acres in Washington County for $48.4,5

The 20-29 year old female was probably Jane's sister Sarah who made the trip to Kentucky with them.6

Burial He was buried at Hebron Cemetery in Anderson County, Kentucky.2

They included John McCall for himself ($72.75) and John McCall as guardian of Isabella, James, Sarah Elizabeth, Wm., Almira Jane and Mary Catharine McCall ($436.50 or $72.75 each). John M. Scott [husband of Thomas' daughter Martha] received a payment of $218.25.7
