He was a blacksmith or bloomer, came to Braintree by 1708 to work in the Iron Works on Monatiquot River, owned by John Hubbard of Boston. He bought land of Nathaniel Hubbard, son of John in 1714 and this became the Vinton homestead. It was located on present Commercial St., East Braintree, just east of the Jonas Perkins School. In 1720 he purchased of Nathaniel Hubbard of Dorchester the iron works too "one and one half acre adjoining unto Monatiquot River, upon part of which the Iron Works now stand", and was bounded North on the river and Iron Works Pond etc., together with the Forge and Iron Works, Sawmill, and all mariner edifices standing and being thereon, and one moiety or half part of the stream, ponds, dams, flumes, near or upon which said Iron Works and Sawmill are erected."

The dam at the Iron Works caused much controversy in the town as it prevented the fish from ascending Monatiquot River in the spring to spawn in Braintree Great Pond, and for many years an Alewife's committee was elected at the town meeting to try to keep the river open. Finally in 1736 the dam was destroyed over the protests of Mr. Vinton who sued the town, but it was never rebuilt and the iron works ceased to be. After this Thomas Vinton built a blacksmith shop on the north side of present Commercial St.
