Thomas was the paternal grandson of James Hogg & Mary Finlayson of Wick, Caithness, Scotland who immigrated to Wilmington, NC about 1757. On his mother's side, he was the maternal grandson of Robert Charles Johnson & Catherine Ann Bayard of Stratford, Fairfield Co, CT, an eminent jurist, who, with John Jay, organized that part of the U. S. Constitution which relates to the Supreme Court. His maternal gr-grandparents were the Hon. Nicholas Bayard Jr. & Catherine Livingston of New York, a prominent merchant from a distinguished Huguenot family who settled in New York in the 17th century and allied itself to such prominent dynasties as the Stuyvesants and the Jays.

Haywood in the Raleigh Planing Mills, which began operation in the summer of 1853. During the Civil War, he was chief commissary officer of the Subsistence Department of North Carolina.
