John T Smith / Mary Elizabeth Finley -circa 1880 Fulton Co. GA
I'm trying to verify the parents of my Great Grandmother, Mattie Media Smith.She was born in 1879 in Atlanta, Georgia.She apparently had a brother named Alpha.
It's rumored that she was orphaned & her parents were John T. Smith & Mary Elizabeth Finley (Findley).
Mattie lived in Amity, Clark County, Arkansas at the age of 19 when she married my Great Grandfather, Henry Lee Garner in 1900.I'm not sure if her parents made it to Arkansas or not since I can't find them on any census at that time.I did find her supposed brother Alpha living next to Henry Lee Garner's brother Jesse in Amity, Arkansas in 1920.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
