Martha Wilson called Mattie or Mat

Martha Wilson b. Sep 1864 in Blandinsville, McDonough Co., IL married a man surnamed Baker. Family legend tells he was called "Doc" Baker. It's not known if he were a doctor or if that was just a nickname. Mattie had a daughter named Ruth & she had a daughter. I don't know the little girl's name. Mattie (Wilson) Baker died in California, in the San Francisco area about 1898. Mattie's parents were Andrew Wilson & his wife, Martha Ann Keithley. The paternal grandparents of Mattie were William Wilson & his wife Nancy Drysdale. They were born in Ireland but moved to Scotland where all their children were born. The town where they lived was Thornhill, Scotland but there are two towns named Thornhill, & I don't know which is theirs. The family came to USA about 1840 settling in Floyd Co., IN. They moved on to Illinois, & then to Nebraska. Mattie & her husband moved to California. Any information about Martha "Mattie" Wilson - Baker would be appreciated.
