Thomas fought in the Low Country and was knighted by Lord Essex for gallant conduct before Rouen, 1591. He served Queen Elizabeth as a diplomatist; was one of the Council of the North, under the presidency of Lord Sheffield, from 1602-1619.
Thomas died on 23 August 1620. Sir Thomas jr. was knighted and made Viscount Fairfax of Cameron and died 23 Aug 1620.
However he was created a peer in 1627 so this date cannot be correct. Thomas was created a peer of Scotland, 4 May 1627, as Baron Fairfax of Cameron on 4 May 1627.
Thomas married Ellen Aske [57903] [MRIN: 551615602], daughter of Robert Aske [58459] and Elizabeth Dawney [58460], in 1582. (Ellen Aske [57903] was born in 1565 and died on 23 Aug 1620.)
