THOMAS WILEY BAXTER
Ellenora Francesca "Ellen" Scott Baxter
A description (link immediately below) of the Thomas Washington Baxter and Mary Wiley Baxter household, as recollected years later by their children's tutor. Note that this author, whose account is of his own time spent with the Baxter household, mistakes the son for a "Jr." and calls Thomas Washington Baxter "Thomas Wiley Baxter". An error seen elsewhere and easily corrected in the reader's mind once the names are understood. Thomas Washington Baxter, Sr. married Mary Wiley: this is the reason her son is (the first to be) named "Thomas Wiley Baxter". In the book below, the actual Thomas Wiley Baxter is the student and not a "Jr."; the father is Thomas Washington Baxter.

Thomas Washington Baxter
"The obelisk has roots in Egyptian architecture and culture, representing a ray of sunlight. The draping provides the added cast of mourning, the death shroud, or the thin boundary between Heaven and Earth.
The tall, draped obelisk with a draped urn on top is for Thomas Washington Baxter and his wife, Mary Wiley Baxter.
The son of Revolutionary War veteran, Thomas Baxter born in Greene County, Ga. in 1789, Thomas spent his early years in nearby Baldwin and Hancock Counties. Baxter gained a reputation for heroism during the Seminole Indian Wars. He married Mary Wiley in 1815 and they had 11 children together. Six of their sons would serve in the Confederacy during the Civil War.
When Cotton Was King
The Baxters moved to Athens around 1831, where Thomas accepted the presidency of the Athens Manufacturing Company. It became a key part of the thriving Athens textile industry. Baxter was also active in investing his growing fortunes and had his hand in banking enterprises as well."
