Thomas was born 26 Mar 1775 in Accomack Co, VA.⁽⁴⁹²⁾ Thomas⁽⁴⁹³⁾ was the son of Thomas Bayly and Ann Drummond. Thomas died 7 Jan 1834 at 58 years of age.⁽⁴⁹⁴⁾ The tombstone book shows 7 Jan 1837, but since his will was probated on 27 Jan 1834, he must have died 7 Jan 1834.

His body was interred in Hills Farm, Hunting Creek, Acc Co, VA.⁽⁴⁹⁵⁾ Tombstones shows Colonel Thomas M. Bayly, 3rd son of Colonel Thomas Bayly and Ann Drummond his wife. He was born March 26th, 1775; on the 24th March, 1809, he was married to Margaret P. Cropper, daughter of General John Cropper; on the 21st December, 1826, he was married to Jane O.

On 17 Apr 1855 Samuel T. Bayly, who was the son of Col. Thomas M. Bayly of Mount Custis near Accomac and his wife Jane Coward Addison, wrote a letter to the pension office in Washington regarding the pension of Catherine B. Cropper, widow of General John Cropper. This was three months after her death. He enclosed a paper which he said authorized him to draw the pension of Catherine Cropper. It appears that his attempt to get the pension was not fruitful. Samuel T. Bayly and his sister had already inherited property at Hill's Farm in Accomack County, which they later sold.⁽⁵⁰²⁾
