Second son of The Reverend James A. Roquemore (1812–1862) and his third wife, Deborah Ann Smith (1828–1895), Thomas Allen was born in Fort Valley before Houston County was subdivided. Both the Smith and Roquemore families were active in the life of the Methodist Church.
Thomas married Georgia Emma Bryant on 17 Jan 1884 in Perry, Georgia. Articles in the local newspaper recorded their visits and socializing with friends and relatives and Thomas' fishing trips in the Okmulgee Swamp.
The death of their only child was reported in the Perry Home-Journal and extracted in Addie P. Howell's book, The Roquemore Report of 1967. "ROQUEMORE CHILD, child of Mr. and Mrs. T. A. Roquemore, died on May 18, 1888, from the dreadful disease, dysentery."
T. A. moved to Florida before the couple was divorced. Near Ocala, he met a young widow, Margaret Elizabeth "Maggie" Pratt, with a son, Okley. They settled in Farmdale in Calhoun County, Florida, where their first child, a daughter, Louise, was born.
Thomas worked as a carpenter and a photographer. A family story says that he worked on building the train station in Jacksonville, Florida, which has a new life as the city's convention center. In his spare time, he loved to fish.
He left Jacksonville before 1930. His burial place is unknown.
