A History of Masonry in Madison County, Kentucky 1812-1913, compiled 
and written by Robert R. Burnam, 1914, p. 46.

MAJOR THOMAS HOWARD, a charter member and the first Master of Richmond 
Lodge after the charter was granted, was born in Kentucky in early 
childhood.  He was sprung, as his name indicates, from splendid English
stock, and in his bearing, dress and conversation was a fine type of 
the men of his day, a generation which has been the envy and admiration 
of those which have followed.  He was for many years a successful 
merchant, conducting a large store in Mt. Sterling as well as Richmond. 
That he commanded the confidence and esteem of all who knew him is 
evidenced by the fact that he was elected seven times from Madison 
County to the Legislature.
     He was installed Master at Lexington in the Grand Lodge August 26, 
1913 [sic], the day following the granting of the charter to Richmond 
Lodge.  Under his leadership the Lodge thrived.  When Irvine Lodge 
No. 69 was organized in 1821 he demitted from the old Lodge and became 
an officer in the new.  When the latter became extinct, however, he
reaffiliated with No. 25 in 1839 and died a member of same.  Few persons 
now living in Richmond can remember him.
     His wife was a daughter of John Patrick and a granddaughter of 
Richard Calloway, who came to Kentucky with Daniel Boone.  She inherited 
a very large tract of land adjacent to Richmond, about which prolonged
litigation ensued after her death.
     He died September 14, 1841,  and was buried with Masonic honors in
the family burying ground.  After the opening of the Richmond Cemetery 
in 1856 his remains, with those of his wife, were removed to it, where 
they now rest.  The grave is marked by a simple marble slab and his name 
is written in enduring letters in the records of our Order.  He was made 
a Mason in Winchester Lodge in 1811.
