Frederick William Thomas (October 25, 1806 in Providence, Rhode Island - August 27, 1866 in Washington, D. C.) was an American writer. He was educated in Baltimore, Maryland, where he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1828. In 1830 he moved to Cincinnati and assisted his father in editing the Advertiser, in which appeared his song ‘Tis said that absence conquers love. He became an associate editor of the Democratic Intelligencer in 1834, and of the Evening Post in 1835. From 1841 until 1850, he was a clerk in the United States Department of the Treasury in Washington, D. C., for which he selected a library. In 1850 he returned to Cincinnati, entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church and preached in that city.
