Like most of his contemporary artists next to nothing is known of his life. He was employed by the London publishers between 1625 and 1640 to create frontis pieces for books and individual portraits. In the latter category he engraved portraits of Queen Elizabeth, Sir John Burgh, Sir John Hayward, Lord Burghley and Bishops of Winchester and Norwich. John Talbot, Earl of Shrewsbury is listed by G. C. Williamson * as being among Cecill's best engravings. * (G. C. Williamson, Bryan's Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, London, Bell & Sons, 1930, Vol. 1, p. 276.) From ArtofthePrint.com According to The SixteenthCentury Journal, he made a posthumous portrait of Queen Elizabeth, that was very popular. He is also noted as a designer/engraver of several English coins. See TreasureRealm.com Given land in the colony of Maryland as payment for producing the first map of the colony, it seems he never actuall came to Maryland. The first ships to the colony, The Ark and The Dove, have established, documented passenger lists and Cecil not among them. Thomas Cecil had worked from drawings supplied by two men who had been passengers on the Ark and the Dove. Those ships left the Isle of Wight in England for the New World, stopped in the Caribbean, made their way up the Chesapeake, steered to port and then the Potomac. The Ark and the Dove made land at St. Clement's Island on March 25, 1634, the genesis of Maryland Day. But his map was available in England after 1635. It was some time later, 1658, that his son John came to colony to settle on the Cecil land. He evidently was pretty active! His first wife, Ann Lee from a wealthy family, he married in 1605 and fathered many children...his second wife, Susan Oxenbridge, he married at age 56 and had more children!
