He was educated in the best schools to be found in his day and time. His father, William Bomar, was an Episcopalian in his religiious profession, and one whose exemplary course of conduct was highly characteristic of genuine piety. Thomas Bomar was of delicate health, and his afflictions at last brought him to Christ. He was baptized by Rev. Thomas Dobson, united with Hunting Creek Baptist Church and ordained a minister in 1803, at the annual session of Ronoake Virginia Association. The next year he migrated to Spartanburg district, South Carolina. His first charges were Bethlehem and Mount Zion churches, the latter being an "arm" (the old name for mission) of Bethlehem. Subsequently he became pastor of New Prospect church and the citizens of Spartanburg village received a liberal share of his exertions. His life was actively given to the cause, of Christ and was attended with great results. He was an ardent missionary in speech, and was for a time president of the Spartanburg Auxiliary Bible Society. At one time he filled the office of tax-collector in Spartanburg district. He died suddenly at the house of John S. Rowland, near Boiling Springs, June 13, 1830. He is buried at Bethlehem church, where he had his first pastorial charge.
