Thomas Barbour was born in 1735 in Orange County, Colony of Virginia, the son of James Barbour (1707-1775). His elder brother James Barbour represented Culpeper County, Virginia in the House of Burgesses from 1761 to 1765. Barbour married Mary Pendleton Thomas, a first cousin of Edmund Pendleton, in 1771. They had ten daughters and five sons. Their sons who likewise held offices included James Barbour (18th Governor of Virginia and 11th United States Secretary of War) and Philip P. Barbour (U.S. Congressman from Virginia and an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court).

Barbour served as Justice of the Peace for Orange County, from 1768 until his death. From 1769 until 1776 (although the prorogued house had no quorum after June 24, 1775), Barbour represented Orange County in the Virginia House of Burgesses. He was a Whig. Thomas died at his son James Barbour's plantation, Barboursville on May 16, 1825.
