<p> an English Wesleyan minister, was born at Staincross, near Wakefield, in 1760. At an early period in his life, his parents, who were members of the [[Established]] Church, were converted under [[Methodist]] preaching. In 1779, Thomas, after prolonged and severe struggles, was himself converted, and on the invitation of [[Wesley]] attended the Kingswood School for fifteen months. He travelled twenty-three circuits, and in 1821 settled in Liverpool, where he died after long and complicated affliction, October 1, 1832. "He was a man of sound sense, and of more than ordinary ministerial talent; so that his labors. were not only acceptable, but popular and useful." He was a good historian and grammarian, somewhat taci-turn, and occasionally sarcastic. See Wesl. Meth. Mag. 1835, page 181; Minutes of the British Conferences, 1833; Wesleyan Takings, 1:331. </p>
