In 1864 Thomas returned to the Mississippi River for a load of emigrants. Hannah became his bride in 1865. They lived on their farm across the Sanpitch River to the north of the Gunnison Reservoir in the summertime. In the winter the family lived in a comfortable adobe house in the City of Manti... Their home was a gathering place for the youth; many was the time that "Daddy Boyington" kept the fires burning while the young people enjoyed themselves in dance and merrymaking.
From a history submitted by Elga Henrie Larsen, grandaughter:
Thomas was a farmer and stockman. They were rugged hard working people and devoted Latter-day Saints. The friends of this large family loved to gather at the Boyington home where they were always welcomed and had good times together.
Thomas was tall in stature and had dark curly hair. It is said that he applied for the king's guard and passed all the requirements but one. He was only 6 feet 1-1/2 inches tall -1/2 inch too short (Excerpts from a history by Sarah and Nettie Boyington)
