Born in Neath in 1720, the son of Hophni Thomas, master mariner. He went to school at Oakham, and in 1738 entered S. John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1742 (M.D. 1753). He settled in London, was elected F.R.S. in 1753, and obviously distinguished himself as a medical man, for he was appointed physician to George III, and was knighted in 1775. He died at Bath, 17 May 1792. His name occurs in the four lists we have of the members of the first Society of Cymmrodorion, and in them we can trace his movements: from Leicester Square to Carey Street and thence to Albemarle Street.
