Matty Lanier/Stewart/Gann
I am Looking for relatives of Mattie Lanier (maybe Matilda)b.1850? in Kansas?. She was my g-grandmother who married James T. Stewart aka J.T., b. 1850? in Tennessee. They lived in Arkansas and then, Seqouyah Co., OK.James was a Solicitor to the Indians and then a US. Marshall before statehood..... James T. Stewart is buried in Akins Cemetary in Sallisaw,OK.
We don't know where Mattie is buried.We know that her last child was born in Arkansas, in 1885.We feel that Mattie must have died shortly after, because James married Catherine Gann, and had a son John T. Stewart, in 1888, and David Cleveland "Clead" Stewart in 1892.
Matty and James had the following five children:

Winsor Newell Stewart, b. 1885 d. 1973.On my grandfather's death certificate, it says that Matty Lanier was born in Kansas.I'm not sure who provided the County with that information.There is one mistake, that we know of on the death certificate.It says that my g-grandfather was James G. Stewart, we have documented evidence that it was really, James T. Stewart.Maybe Matty was just raised in Kansas, and not born there.I don't know????My g-grandfather was supposed to be from Tennessee.So, the Lanier family must have been in Tenn. at some time.It is very frustrating.
If anyone runs across any information on Matty or Matilda Lanier, please let me know.My grandfather's death certificate calls her Matty Lanier.Can Matty be derived from any other name besides Matilda?
