Colonel Thomas Ligon and his wife Mary Harris established the Ligon family in the New World. They were great grandparents of Peyton Townes and his siblings.

A member of the aristocracy in England, he came to Jamestown, Virginia in 1641 with 2nd cousin, Sir William Berkley, Royal Governor of Virginia. Gov. Berkeley appointed Thomas Ligon surveyor of Henrico. County, a lucrative position. He was also Justice of the Peace for Charles City County (recorded 1 AUG 1657) and was Lt. Colonel in the Jamestown militia..

He was a member of the House of Burgesses from Henrico County in 1655 and 1656.

On April 18, 1644, the Indians made a sudden attack upon the settlements in Virginia, and massacred about three hundred of the colonists. Colonel Thomas Ligon, who happened to be passing the residence of Dr. John Woodson, helped Sara Woodson defend her home. The only weapon they had was an old gun which Colonel Ligon handled with deadly effect, killing seven of the attackers. The old gun is now in the possession of the Virginia Historical Society. The name of LIGON was carved upon the stock.

Col. Thomas Ligon's first wife probably died in England and all of his children in Virginia were those of his second wife, Mary Harris. Her father Captain Thomas Harris came to the Jamestown Colony from England in May 1611 on the ship Prosperous with Sir Thomas Dale. In 1635, a patent was issued to Harris for 750 acres. In 1636 this property was called Longfield and later was known as Curles. The land ownership of Harris grew to be in excess of 2500 acres. Harris served as a subscriber in the 2nd Corporation of Jamestown, and served in the House of Burgesses. In 1649, Harris was made commander of the Henrico Militia.
