Notes - DOB: 1860 census, in thw census his occupation is shoemaker
I have sited an ad from the 30 Dec 1853 Tennessean where a Dr. T. N. Violett printed certifications from people who used his "pain-extractor" medicine and attributed good results. And listed a number of places where a bottle of his medicines could be purchased.
It appears he went from shoemaker to selling "pain-extractor" medicine and claiming the title of Dr.
It is believed his father was a Thomas Violett, but their were a couple, so I haven't been able to determine which one.
