I have never heard of Joshua Shedd, born about 1857.Phillip Shedd was born on Dec 17, 1840 and his wife Octavia was born on October 7, 1842.Octavia was the name that my mother and grandmother called her but some census information lists her by her first name, Nancy.Phillip and Octavia were married on May 20, 1860.It is entirely possible that Martha E is the same person as Mattie E.Whenever I would see her at my grandmother Ida's home she was always referred to as "aunt Matt."I live in the greater Atlanta area.Mattie has two grandsons and a granddaughter whom I know who live in or around Birmingham.I have her grandson, Dr. Harold Findlay's phone number and would like to call him but, I am not sure how clear his memory is.Harold has to be 87 plus years of age at this time.In some cases for the names I listed in my previous message I have birth death and marriage dates if you need these let me know.
