He matriculated at Cambridge in 1640. A portrait of him is stated to have existed, painted 2nd September 1657 when he was 40 years of age. His right to arms was investigated by Edward Bysshe in the Visitation of Suffolk of 1664.

In the East Anglican Miscellany (The Index Library: British Record Society, 1965), p174 it is stated: '.... there seems to be no other printed record of any member of the Jacob family living at Mendham from the early part of the 17th century, till 1757, they resided at Laxfield, but Thomas Jacob alias Bradly, who died in 1689, and is buried at Laxfield, was connected by marriage with the Frestons of Mendham'.

The alias of Bradlaugh/Bradlaw appears to have been discontinued by him.
