Here is a little bit of history about Thomas Corners, taken from the Thomas Corners Fire District website:
The soil and water supply in this area of Glenville made it very profitable for farming, and house lots were only available when the large tract owners either decided to retire or sell plots from their holdings. Tunis Thomas occupied a large farm house that was located within the triangle formed by Freemans Bridge Road blending with Ballston Avenue (which continued north as Saratoga Road). His house faced north, and the intersection became known as Thomas’s Corners. In time, the name of the intersection was shortened to Thomas Corners.Here is the path they might have taken from Stanford's house at 110 Park Place to Thomas Corners, a walk of 2.5 miles:
