Throwback
Thursday: My mother's oldest brother
Thomas Jefferson "Tom" Petty (1908-1979) and his wife Mary Jo Johns
Petty (1913-2000).
Tom was born
in Murray County, Georgia, and Mary Jo was born in Gordon County, just down the
road.
Tom was a
cabinet maker and carpenter. They lived
at various places in and around Dalton, Georgia, and Cleveland, and
Chattanooga, Tennessee. They also lived
in Marietta a year or two where we learned they were also gospel singers.
By most the pictures it appears that Tom was something of a ham in front of the camera.

They had no
children.
