Tom Petty, Photos

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. He also appeared to be a romancer, at least in front of the camera. They had no children.
