Thomas Hart Rochester (September 23 1797October 6 1874) was the 6th son of Colonel Nathaniel Rochester and the 6th mayor of Rochester, New York. [ [http://www.rochester.lib.ny.us/~rochhist/v26_1964/v26i1.pdf Rochester Mayors Before the Civil War - Rochester History] ]

Rochester was born in Hagerstown, Maryland and moved with his family to Dansville, New York in 1810. Rochester was the first of his family to move to the land his father, Charles Carroll, and William Fitzhugh purchased next to the High Falls of the Genesee River. When his family followed him to the city two years later he decided to move briefly to Missouri before returning and marrying Phebe E. Cuming, the daughter of the Village of Rochester's first clergyman.

Rochester was selected by the council as a Whig to be Mayor during the depression year of 1838. After his term he became a banker and real estate developer before passing away in 1874. He is interred in Mount Hope Cemetery.

His Spring Street house is now the home of the Rochester Locust Club. [ [http://www.locustclub.org/docs/locustclub_history.pdf The Evolution of the Rochester Police Department Locust Club] ]
