Later that year, the unit was re-designated as Company A (Fauquier Artillery), 38th Battalion, Virginia Light Artillery. The battery disbanded in 1865 and returned home to Fauquier County.
Thomas married Lucy Rector about 1865 and had seven children. He was a farmer and served as the U.S. Postmaster for the Orlean Post Office from 1890-1893. Thomas passed away in November 1917 at the age of 77.
