Dorothy I think for sure it is Thomas, AGW. Note that the census taker always listed the last name for each household even though it was the same as the household above. The little "ditto" thing that has been marked out was probably just an error, looks like it has been scratched through. Maybe the census taker was about to list the Herron that died above, who knows. Note that Dr. Thomas was born in NY, that probably leaves out most of your Herrons.
