Thomas Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio. His parents were Samuel Ogden Edison, Jr. and Nancy Matthews Elliott. Thomas was their seventh child.Edison started school late due to childhood illness. His mind often wandered and his teacher Alexander Crawford often called him addled. He was kicked out of school three months after starting. Edison was then homeschooled by his mother, who was previously a teacher. She encouraged and taught him to read and experiment. Many of his lessons came from reading R.G. Parkers School of natural philosophy.
