Thomas Vincent jr. was one of the three founders of the Royal Society of Musicians (1in 1738). Vincent's instrumental works consist of the present 'Solos for a Hautboy,"Op. 1 & 'A Sett of Familiar Lessons for the Harpsichord." Op. 2. They are both so rare as to be practically unobtainable. The late Dr. Charles J. Vincent, a direct descendant of Thomas Vincent, told me that some members of the family had migrated to Canada & taken with them printed copies of works & manuscripts of their ancestor."
