"Talitha" is a scriptural word turned into a name, from the phrase, "talitha cumi," meaning "damsel arise" (Mark 5:41); sometimes the words are turned into a single name, "Talithacumi." Talitha is not a nickname or variation of "Tabitha," which is Hebrew for "gazelle."

Spouse: Elitha Caroline MAY

Thomas's wife is Talitha/Telitha, not Elitha; and unless her age in the 1850 census is a mistake, Thomas was "robbing the cradle."

Mary (HILL) HALL is Thomas's sister, and Sarah HILL appears to be Thomas's orphaned daughter.

Not seen by me, but cited by many others. Apparent source of the error calling Thomas's wife, "May E. Carding," which apparently is a very bad misreading of "May, E. Caroline."
