On Oct. 24 1717 he married Mary Marshall at Suffield. Little is known of her background,except that she was born about 1679,and her father was John Marshall. Thomas carried on his Father's tradition as a respected town leader.From 1714 to 1740 he was a selectman,surveyor of highways,tythingman,and fence viewer. He may have had a sawmill,since the town paid him in 1735 and 1736 for timber and plank. He also owned a bull that was in demand,as he was paid 30 shillings for the use of it in 1740. Mary Marshall Copley died Aug. 15 1751,aged 72 and Thomas made out his will four days later.It was none too soon,for he died Aug. 30 1751.Suffield Cong.,Church 1941 Suffield V.R. NYGER 1947pg. 19
