He was the seventh and last child in his family. His family was of Dutch origin(荷兰血统). * In school, the young Edisons mind often wandered, and his teacher the Reverend Engle was calling him addled. This ended Edisons three months of official schooling. He recalled later, My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint. His mother then home schooled him.Much of his education came from reading R.G.
