Thomas Coffin Amory (October 6, 1812 – August 20, 1889) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the youngest son of Jonathan Amory and his wife Mehitable (Sullivan) Culter.
An American lawyer, historian, politician, biographer, and poet, he graduated from Harvard University in 1830.
He became a member of the bar of Suffolk County, Boston in 1834.
In 1858 he published "Life of James Sullivan," former governor of Massachusetts and his grandfather.
He later published extensively on the American Revolution as well as on various others of his ancestors, including Major-General John Sullivan and Sir Isaac Coffin.
