Diamond was born about 1737. Antiquarian sources say that he was of Huguenot ancestry was in Boston in 1759and that he settled in Albany after the American Revolution. However he was in Albany by the mid-1760s when his second ward house and lot were noted on the city assessment roll. In 1767 he was included on the roster of the Rensselaerswyck militia company. He was a member and officer of the Albany Masonic lodge.</p><p>He has been called a Boston carpenter who was one of the builders of the Patroon's new home north of Albany.</p><p>In 1771 he was living above the East Manor and was the first clerk of the new town of Lansingburgh. In the years following he seems to have settled in Albany where he lived the remainder of his life.</p><p>His wife was Mary Mc Lane - the mother of his children. He was member of the Albany Presbyterian church. He also witnessed baptisms at the Albany Dutch church where his grandchildren were christened! Albany and regional resident William M. Diamond probably was his sole surviving son.</p><p>We seek information on his activities during the War for Independence. After the war he was accorded a land bounty right in conjunction with the Albany militia regiment.</p><p>In 1779 his first ward property appeared on Albany assessment rolls. During the 1780s and 90s his name appeared on a variety of community-based records and documents. In 1790 his first ward home on the south side of Hudson Street included two men two females and a slave. He also leased a lot south of Wolf Street from the city.</p><p>Thomas S. Diamond died in July 1796 at the age of fifty-nine. He was buried on August 25 1796 in the Presbyterian church cemetery plot. His will identified his wife but not by name son William two daughters and a granddaughter. It passed probate on August 31. His widow died in 1817. - Excerpted from Landmarks of Rensselaer County p. 120:</p><p> Photos available upon request. </p> Prichard & Hall hardcover
