Tommy Henry Ground was the eldest child of eleven children of Isaac Henry Ground and Mary Jane "Mollie" Russell. He married Lina Mary Owen in 1897 and he and Lina also had eleven children.

Tommy Ground was the first Ford dealer in Dallas County for Henry Ford. While demonstrating a new Ford on the steep hill on Hampton Road, a critical accident left him with head injuries and the inability to speak, but didn't prevent him from being a prankster. Tommy and Lina ran the family farm in DeSoto until he died.
