Early Life and Education

His mother was highly devout, while Thomas himself developed an intense interest in religion which eventually led him down a path leading him toward priesthood.

Early in his childhood, he was separated from his mother and sent to live with Betsey Bailey; she taught him how to read and write, while only seeing his mother briefly before her death in late 1825 or early 1826.

Sophia Auld disapproved of teaching her husband to read. She believed it unsuitable for slaves to become educated, since they may eventually desire freedom. Regardless, he set sail by ship for St. Charles Seminary in Catonsville, Maryland.
