On the 1900 census Andy M. is listed as a boarder.I think Alice has found your Andy M. on the 1860, but I suspicion it is his brother Stephen, also in that 1860 household, who is the father of your Mattie.
On the previoius page of the 1900 census there is a William Carothers, 30, b TN,TN,TN and I believe he might be brother to your Mattie.If so, then the following family is probably your Mattie, her brother William and their parents.That would make Andy her uncle.

1850 census Hickman Co, TN, page 44 A:

" Andrew, 1, b TN
Next door is a Catherine Carothers, 67, b NC; enumerated in the household of Joseph Webb, 53, and Elizabeth 48, b GA - I would guess Elizabeth is a Carothers and Catherine might be her mother, you may have to do some sorting for direct lines, see below.

I found indexes for earlier Hickman Co, TN censuses, but did not look them up.I suggest you do so, and from age categories you may be able to tell who belongs to whom.They are pretty early in the county, so I would be looking at land and probate records, see who shows up as heirs, that may help you sort the direct lines.William is on the same page as Samuel on two censuses, who are the heirs of Samuel?
1840 census:
Carethers[sic] William H., page 12
Carothers, Isah[sic], pg 3
Carothers, Widow, pg 42 (probably Catherine)
1830 census:
Carothers, James, pg 255
Carothers, Saml., pg 266
Carothers, William H., also pg 266
Carothers, Catherine, pg 293
1820 census:
Caruthers[sic], Catherine, pg 13
Caruthers, Samuel M., pg 6
Caruthers, Wm., also pg 6
Check out Hickman Co, TN GenWeb site, there are some volunteers who will do specific lookups, probably items they have at home or to which they have quick and easy access.Especially the county histories, marriages etc.
Happy Hunting (^_^)
