Per the 1910 U.S. Census (age 8), he was listed as "Parker, Edwin T." living with his parents in Woodward County, Oklahoma. 

His younger brother, Everette Parker, died at age 7 in Lecompte, Rapides County, Louisiana on June 7, 1917. This indicates that Thomas, who would have been around 14, probably lived there as well.

His family relocated to the Eaton County area sometime around 1923.
