Do you know of Tatom ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Tatom. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Tatom.<1>

Our sources for Tatom (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Tatom other than they indicate that Tatom would be found somewhere in Cumberland County, North Carolina.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1903 and closed  in 1906.
