T.A.'s son David learned at 16 to be a Daguerreian Artist apprenticing under his father and Charles and came to work there officially in 1859. Thomas enlisted and served in the SC Mounted Militia in the Second Creek War and served in the Seminole War and Mexican American War. He retired from the military in 1848 until his state succeeded from the Union in 1861, Thomas loaded all his sons on a wagon on August 22 of 1861 just as his Great Grandfather John Peden did at the Revolution and re-enlisted in the 1st South Carolina Calvary Company B "Ferguson's Rangers" in Laurens. Thomas was an Illustrator/Photographer and worked with David but after a year because of his age of 54 they put him in "The Letterman Plan" Combat Medic/Nurse and assigned him to the 16th Regiment, South Carolina Infantry (also known as the Greenville Regiment and the Greenville Boys) stationed in Adams Run, SC. in Adams Run Hospital. He was unhappy in this position so accepted an honorable discharged June 20, 1862, due to "Old Age". He got word that his son James Boyd Peden was in the hospital at Gordonsville, VA with Typhoid. He drove his wagon to Gordonsville to bring him back home. He passed away September 5, 1863. After the war Lanneau advertised that he was now only doing portraits in oil so Thomas continued oil portraiture for Lanneau and dabbled in Real Estate like his father massing a good bit of property on his own including the original Charles Lanneau's Photography Studio for David and founded Peden Traveling Photographers Studio #1 in 1865. His wife Jane died in 1866 and T. A. remarried in 1870. David moved to Cohutta Springs, Ga in 1869 and opened Studio #2 at the Cohutta Springs Hotel. See David Martin Peden Memorial 27545581. T. A. ran Studio #1 until his death in 1875. His son John Ballentine Peden continued the Studio until his sickness began in 1901. David sent his son James Robert to run it then.
