Notes:

According to Kay Parker McCary, he is the son of Uriah Humpreys and Elizabeth Hughes.

Thomas married Mary "Mollie" Rowena Clark on 22 Sep 1890 in Sabine County, Texas. Mary (daughter of Paschal Clark and Elizabeth "Betty" C. Wallace) was born on 24 Aug 1867 in Texas; died about 1901 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Gravel Hill Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Charter member of the Gravel Hill Antioch Baptist Church, also gave land for the Church. His tombstone reads "Father Married To Mariah A. Mulford 19 Sept 1847, Kind father of love thou are gone to thy rest, Forever to bask in the joys of the blest." Kay Parker McCary shows him as a son of James CONN and Martha A. GIBSON.

He donated the property used to establish the Gravel Hill Cemetery. A deed to the property where the Church and cemetery are now located was given by Mr. George W. Conn, in August, 1875, but the Sabine County Court House burned in November and all records were destroyed, including the deed to the property. For some reason the deed was not refiled, but 97 years later, in 1972, a copy was found by a daughter-in-law looking through Mr. Conn's old trunk. Mrs. Allie Conn promptly filed the old deed.

The church was organized on January 3, 1876, under the direction of Elders J. S. Lambert and J. J. Roundtree. Thirteen other men and women went into the organization, including George Conn, John Anderson, J. S. White, Hosie Baldaree, Ann Mason, M. A. Conn, T. D. Burkhalter, John Deweese, L. S. Hoard, Mary E. White, Sophie H. Wallace, Mrs. C. A. Hoard, and C. Baldaree. In their preamble to organization, signed by each member, the church stated that they had "been regularly baptized on the profession of our faith"..."under the name of Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Christ holding to the doctrine contained in the sacred Scriptures to be predicated on republican principles..." On May 18, 1991, the new sanctuary was dedicated. In July, 1997, the church became incorporated under the name Gravelhill Antioch Missionary Baptist Church to distinguish it from another church in the state with the name Antioch.
