This is his early childhood:
Clarence Thomas was born in 1948 in
Pin Point, Georgia, a small, predominantly black community near
Savannah founded by
freedmen after the
American Civil War. He was the second of three children born to M.C. Thomas, a farm worker, and Leola Williams, a domestic worker.
[6][7] They were descendants of American
slaves, and the family spoke
Gullah as a first language.
[8] Thomas's earliest known ancestors were slaves named Sandy and Peggy, who were born around the end of the 18th century and owned by wealthy planter Josiah Wilson of
Liberty County, Georgia.
[9] M.C. left his family when Thomas was two years old. Thomas's mother worked hard but was sometimes paid only pennies per day. She had difficulty putting food on the table, and was forced to rely on charity.
[10] After a house fire left them
homeless, Thomas and his younger brother Myers were taken to live with his maternal grandparents in
Savannah, Georgia. Thomas was seven when the family moved in with his maternal grandfather, Myers Anderson, and Anderson's wife, Christine (
née Hargrove), in Savannah.
