I recently bought a small group of coin silver spoons all with marks I haven't been able to identify.
I have 3 spoons with this mark T. J. Hemphill. Thanks for any information.

Hi,
Thomas Johnston Hemphill (1812-1878), working in Philadelphia circa 1830s to the 1860s. His mark is not commonly seen, and didn't make it into Hollan's "Philadelphia Silversmiths", which contains his available biographical information.
Best,
WesternPA
