Maybe there might have been other Wood Release users before Hashirama in the Senju Clan, they just weren't Asura's incarnates, thus their Wood Release usage was much weaker than Hashirama's or even Yamato's AND if that's true, there might have been Senju children with Wood Release who simply got murdered before they could manifest it, as was ordinary during the warring states era. Both aspects seem likely. I mean, it's way more far-fetched that Hashirama was the only wood release user in 1000 years than that others existed.

While we know Tobirama hasn't got wood release, Hashirama had two more brothers. For all we know, they had the potential, but we know they died fairly young. We know Nawaki was Hashirama's grandson but he died young too. We don't know if Hashirama had other children and grandchildren, or for that matter if Tobirama had any.
