In neighboring households are very likely brothers to Thomas, including 23-year-old Oliver C. Pitts and 27-year-old Ed Pitts. (Other records suggest that Oliver was actually 33 in 1880.) A number of family trees have the family as Thomas Adolphus Pitts and his wife Sylvia Caroline "Sadie" Clawson. They list the daughter's name as Mattie Ethlyn Pitts.
