Mathis in Talladega Co, AL - TX
I've been searching for a William Mathis born 1836 & died 8 May 1881, both in Talladega Co., AL.
William Mathis married Edna Jane Machen on 8 Aug 1861 in Talladega. Their children were Martha (Mattie), Adeline, Nancy, Savannah Litivia, James Francis, William Henry, & Alexander L.
Martha (Mattie) was the only child to live a full adult life.Nancy died at age 7 in 1876. For some reason William and his four youngest children all died in the summer of 1881. Adeline died in 1885, one month before her mother died.
My husband is descended from Martha (Mattie) who went to Texas to live with a relative.Mattie married Franklin Henry Fitzgerald and they had 12 children. Mattie died in 1939 in Galveston, TX and is buried in Alvin, Brazoria Co., TX.
