He married Janet Orr about 1757 in New Hampshire CT USA. They moved to Nova Scotia in Dec. of 1762.Thomas received a grant of one and a half rights (750 acres) in the Truro Township. He settled on the part located eastward of Truro, on the Salmon River, near what is today called Murray Siding. His was the 'farthest-up' place on the Salmon River and his house was long known as the "home of the traveller". His homestead farm stayed in the family for many generations.By the year 1770 Thomas and his family were well established in the community. This was the year of the first census to record personal details about the individual families living at Truro and from this census, dated Jan. 1, 1770, we learn that in the year 1769 Thomas and Janet had a household of 1 man, 3 boys, 1 woman; 3 girls - a total of 8 persons, all Protestants and all born in North America. The family owned 1 horse, 2 Oxen, 4 cows, 5 Young neat cattle and 8 sheep; had harvested 15 bushels of wheat and 20 bushels of oats.The next census for Truro Township was completed Jan. 1, 1771 and records the same count of persons in the household as the previous year. The 1771 census reveals a little more about the families circumstances in the the year 1770 in that Thomas had 3 acres of "Arable land; 6 acres of "Mowing" land; and 741 acres of "Wooded: lands. The family owned 1 horse, 2 Oxen, 3 Cows, 2 Young neat cattle, 5 sheep and 1 swine. This year Thomas had harvested 8 bushels of wheat and 20 hundred weight of Flax.Thomas was commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Truro Militia on August 18, 1776. The following May he was reported to Council at Halifax for refusing to sear an Oath of Allegiance to the King of Britain. These were the early years of the American Revolution and most of the families inn Truro had parents, siblings, friends and business contacts still living in New England. When the British Council demanded the loyalty of these new settlers at Truro by their signing the Oath of Allegiance, the settlers would not turn their backs on family and old homes. As a result only 5 men were marked as 'Took the Oath' - Thomas was not one of them.For the most part the Truro settlers were in support of their families and friends still living in New England during the Revolutionary war, but found it necessary to 'Tread Lightly' as there were still lingering obligations to the British Authorities for their land and businesses..When possible they would give aid to American Rebels or Privateers who came thru the Cobequid area and in time many of them were found out and charged with treason - among those charged were nephews of Thomas. As time went on however, the settlers of Truro and elsewhere in the Province came around and accepted the responsibilities of living in a county under British rule and adapted their lives to suit and live peacefully thereafter. == Sources == *Sprague Project * Hhennigar CFE Birth and Deaths *Census of US and Canada *Archibald Genealogy/ Person ID 19770 Family ID F11719 *Parish and graveyard records/Archibald (Brenton) Genealogy *See Thomas Archibald's profile for more sources *Vital statistics of Nova Scotia 1763-1957 *MacNutt-Murray History person page 926 ID M1625 === Footnotes === === Acknowledgments === Thanks to [[Goodman-1505 Beth Babcock]] for starting this profile.
