"ln March 1702 Thomas Claiborne signed a loyal address of the officers and inhabitants of King and QueenCounty to the King. He was deeded 1000 acres in King Wiliam County by Capt. William Claiborne on 12 March 1701/2 and was charged with that acreage, 1704 , but on resurvey the land was found to comprise 1800 acres for which, as Capt. Thomas Claiborne, he received a patent, 5 Sept 1723 , the patent reciting that the tract was within the bounds of the 5000 acres originally granted to William Claiborne, Secretary of State, who by deed of gift, 20 June 1673 , conveyed 1200 acres of it to his son Thomas, father of the grantee, Thomas. This tract included his plantation, "Sweet Hall." On II Dec 1728 he and Abraham Abney petitioned for a grant of 500 acres on Gilley's Creek in Henrico County which had never been patented. He was one of the original purchasers of lots in Delaware Town (West Point), 20 June 1707.[citation needed]
He was captain of dragoons in the militia of King William County, 20 April 1702.
On 28 March 1706 he appeared before the Virginia Council along with Col. John West, Thomas West, Henry Fox and Samuel Cradock in support of a petition of inhabitants of St. John's Parish, King William County, against their minister, the Rev. John Monro. They were, however, reprimanded by the Governor for presenting a petition to him rather than proceeding in a more regular way with their complaint and called upon to endeavor "peace and Reconciliation as it would be much more agreeable to Christianity."[citation needed]
