Thomas Jefferson Norton, Sr. is the son of Thomas Norton (1802-1850) and Jennie Catherine McCallum (1812-1867). He married (1st) Hannah Jane Currence (1844-1874), daughter of James Daniel Patrick Currence and Catherine Laban Suggs, on 2 October 1866 in York District, South Carolina. He married (2nd) Mary Panola Edwards (1858-1955), daughter of James F. Edwards and Agusta Anna Scales, on 19 January 1875 in Gordon County, Georgia.
Thomas served as a Lieutenant in Company G, 28th Georgia Infantry Regiment, Colquitt's Brigade, Jackson's Corps, Confederate States Army. He was wounded in the Battle of Chancellorsville in Virginia and had his arm amputated.
He served Gordon County, Georgia as Tax Collector from 1870 to 1877, and from 1879 to 1881.
The tombstone was designed to be a double tombstone, with the left side for his second wife. However, the inscription was left blank. Since Mary Panola Edwards died in Alabama, she must have been buried there, and so the grave next to him must be vacant.
