Providence, Rhode Island, 1845. Document from the City of Providence Clerk, Albert Pabodie, certifying that Thomas Aldrich "has been, by the City Council of said City, duly elected Fire Ward." Black text with dark brown handwriting, Embossed seal at top left, Signed by Providence Mayor Thomas Burgess. VF condition. Thomas Mackie Burgess (June 6, 1806 - October 17, 1856) was an American politician. He served as second mayor of Providence, Rhode Island from 1841 to 1852. He was mayor during the Dorr Rebellion (1841-42), a violent free-suffrage movement that promoted voting rights for all men regardless of property ownership. This was a turbulent time when Rhode Island had two separate governors vying to run the state concurrently. He also was president of the Providence, Warren and Bristol Railroad Co.
