Research Notes:
Probably one of the oldest of the family and was born in Ireland. While I am placing him next younger to Jeremiah, he may have been older than either Jeremiah or Samuel. We have only an incidental knowledge of him. [Ref: McCoy STURGEON p128]

Thomas was the first of the Sturgeons to purchase land in Lancaster County, PA, and the land records show that he bought more land than any of the others, buying several tracts at early dates; although Jeremiah was also a large purchaser, Thomas and Jeremiah were apparently the thrifty business men of the family and Henry was not far behind. There is little evidence of Thomas after the 1750 decade. He was one of the executors of his brother Samuel's will, made in 1750. He purchased land in 1752. There was a Thomas Sturgeon who purchased ~150 acres in 1766 and several later purchases were made by Thomas Sturgeon - but there was a Thomas Sturgeon, son of Samual, who was born in 1731 and who might have made some of these purchases, and while I think there were made by his uncle, it can not now be certainly determined. I think young Thomas Stugeon stayed on his father's farm, and found all he could do to take care of it and his fast increasing family, until he removed in 1793 to Mifflin County. The tax list of 1750 for Paxtang Township has the names of Thomas, Jeremiah, and Peter. And we continue to find Thomas' name on such tax rolls as have not been destroyed until about 1783. He probably died about this time. We have no knowledge of his family, if he had one. [Ref: McCoy STURGEON p128]
