Female 1860 - 1933  (72 years)


Personal Information    |    Media    |    Notes    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name Mattie Lou Craig  [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11] 
    Born 29 Oct 1860  AL Find all individuals with events at this location  [6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13] 
    Gender Female 
    Residence 1870  Colbert County, AL Find all individuals with events at this location  [14] 
    • Mattie is listed as Martha and Mattie is common nickname of the day for Martha. I am not totally certain this is the same person although it is the only possible match I have been able to find to Mattie in 1870 or 1880 census for Colbert County.

      NOTE- There is a discrepancy on place of birth for parents William and Elisabeth. This census shows North Calrolina, but 1900 census when she is in Keeton family shows Alabama, which may be wrong report to census taker.

  • Notes 
    • I believe Mattie's given name is actually Martha. According to birth certificate, father is William Craig. There was one William Craig in the town she was from and he did have a daughter named Martha (1870 census), Marthey in 1880 census.

      All of these ages and dates of birth are in conflict with all other census records for this family as well as family records. For example, we know Mary was born in 1899. When they moved to Texas in 2005 by rail, Mary was 6. She even remembers her parents having to buy a ticket at the state line because she had just turned 6 and in Texas 6 year olds had to have a ticket.

      Actual ages should have been:

      Mattie 40
      Lizzie 9
      Oma 3
