Excerpt from Adam W. Snyder: And His Period in Illinois History, 1817-1842 He was born in Hagerstown, Maryland, in 1777, where the Thomas family long resided, and was descended from Lord Sir George Calvert, of the Irish peerage created in 1624, to whose son, Cecilius Calvert, Baron of Baltimore. The Maryland patent was issued by Charles the Second, on June 20th, 1632. In 1779 his parents left Maryland and removed to Bracken county, Kentucky. There he grew up, working on the farm and attending such schools as the backwoods then afforded. In course of, time he studied law with his elder brother, Richard Symmes Thomas, a distinguished lawyer, who subsequently located in Lebanon, Ohio. After his admission to the bar, Jesse B. Thomas commenced the practice of law at his home in Brookville, the county seat of Bracken county, and shortly afterward married an es timable young lady of that neighborhood, and settled down, apparently for the rest of his days.
