I don't have much to add to this piece of awesome, but:
My headcanons for Thomas and Alfred are pretty consistent in that I think there were three Hamilton sons, that Thomas was the second son (and the smartest one, possibly that he was going to go into the clergy) and that the eldest son died, requiring Thomas to step in to that role. Mostly because Thomas does seem to actually be religious in a way that he incorporates into his whole life (eg everything you cited here + the whole genesis thing + the way Miranda deploys the song of solomon at pastor lambrick which always struck me as an interesting comparison to the genesis story) and because Alfred doesn't seem to know what to do with him in any appreciable way.
