Thomas Jeffrey Hanks, Born 9th July in Concord California. His mother, Janet Marylyn Frager was from a Portuguese family, whilst his father, Amos Mefford Hanks had English heritage.
The climate of his upbringing was not gentle. Though Tom’s parents were never cruel, His father, Amos, displayed a hardened demeanour throughout his years. As a child, Amos had witnessed the murder of his own father, Ernest Buel Hanks on his family farm. Such a horrific incident would take a toll on his life, clouding his judgement of the world, and unfortunately resulted in a reserved, cold outlook. One without optimism, or appreciation of the arts, and subsequently, a lack of attention to his offspring.
