My great-grandmother was Sarah Jane Gilbert Lawter (b. 4/11/1852, d. 1/4/1919).She and my great-grandfather, Wiley Samuel Lawter (b. 7/8/1850, d. 9/20/1895) were married on February 16, 1871.Their 1st child, who died age 6 in 1878, was named Martha "Mattie" Marianna Lawter.The family lived in Cooley Springs, SC, although my information (not verified) indicates Sarah Jane and Wiley Samuel were married in McDowell Co., NC.
I realize this child cannot be the Mattie "S" you're looking for, but I wonder if there's some family connection that would have made Sarah Jane and Wiley name their first child Martha "Mattie"?
I'll keep looking to see if I can find any connection.
