Costiner name variance Alabama
I'm not sure on the name variances but I am looking for information on a Mattie Lee Costner/Costiner.I found the family in the 1900 census. Mattie's fathers name was W.D. Costiner and mother's name is Catherine A. Costiner. Siblings are Lillie Costiner and Wiley D. Costiner.
In the 1910 census of Alabama Jackson County, Garth Community. It shows W.D. and William D. Costner age 59 married twice.
Catherine A. Costner age 60 married once 4 children 2 living
Wiley H. Costner
Lillie Guthery
Earnest Guthery
Thelma A. Guthery.
The Guthery children had to be grandchildren of W.D. and Catherine and Mattie is married by this time to Frederick James Smith. Mattie and Fred Smith are the parents of my grandmother she is 93 years old now and she hardly knew her parents. Mattie Lee passed away when she was about 2 and Fred Smith killed a man by the name of Hubert Bennett sometime around 1920-1925. Fred hung himself in the Jackson County Courthouse at Scottsboro Alabama.
Due to a courthouse fire all information has been lost and all I can find on Mattie Lee and Fred Smith is this little bit of information on these 2 census.
If anyone has any information on this line of Costners I would be greatly appreciative.
