Possibly your Dad:

If this is your Dad, the mother's name was all wrong:

Comments

Could this be William Thomas and Minnie on the 1910 Census?

"United States Census, 1910," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MK7C-3RG : accessed 26 June 2017), Thomas Monk, Phenix Ward 3, Lee, Alabama, United States; citing enumeration district (ED) ED 176, sheet 19B, family 395, NARA microfilm publication T624 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1982), roll 22; FHL microfilm 1,374,035.

If that one above is correct, then this one is likely:

"United States Census, 1900," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M9D7-W46 : accessed 26 June 2017), Thomas Monk in household of Mark W Monk, Precinct 10 Phoenix (north or r.r.)

And this one would make the trifecta...

"United States Census, 1920," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MX8N-N8P : accessed 26 June 2017), William Monk, Phoenix Ward 1, Lee, Alabama, United States; citing ED 177, sheet 1B, line 67, family 20, NARA microfilm publication T625 (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, 1992), roll 26; FHL microfilm 1,820,026.

Note the L William Monk (i.e., William Lewis?)
