      Colonel Addison had migrated to Maryland in 1667. Colonel Addison, only son of Colonel John Addison, greatly increased and improved the estate left by his father and became influential in church and colony. He was colonel of the militia, Privy Councillor 1721 to 1727, and visitor to the Free Schools.

      Thomas, of Prince George's County, Maryland was educated at Oxford, England; built "Oxon Hill," opposite Alexandria, named after his Alma Mater. Col. Addison became one of the most important men of his day as a member of the Council and Colonel of the Colonial militia. He was one of the visitors of the free schools appointed by the royal governor, and, as proprietor of Addison Manor, dispensed a hospitality which made "Oxon Hill" one of the notable great houses of that day.
