Career
The sources on Thomas Coman are very poor. What is certain is that he lived in New York City for at least some time and was a member of the Democratic Party . Between 1868 and 1871 he was chairman of the city council. After the resignation of Mayor John Thompson Hoffman , who had been elected governor of New York State, Coman was appointed acting mayor of the city by the city council. His only job was to bridge the five weeks between December 1, 1868 and January 4, 1869. Then the newly elected Mayor A. Oakey Hall took office. Until 1898, the urban area of New York essentially extended to what is now Manhattan . After the end of his short time as acting mayor, the trail of Thomas Coman is lost again. It is only mentioned that he died on October 22, 1909.
