After Henrietta's mother died, tending to nine children was too much for her father. He took Henrietta and her siblings to Clover where their relatives had been tobacco farmers since the days of slavery. He divided the kids up among several relatives. Henrietta lived with Tommy Lacks, her grandfather. Tommy was already raising another grandchild named David Lacks, whom Henrietta would eventually marry.
