My paternal grandmother was CYNTHIA IDELLA
SHADDIX. She married CHARLES LEE
MATHIS in 1909. I have her parents as
GREENBERRY H. MATHIS, JR. and MARTHA
CALLAWAY farming in
Clay County,
Alabama in 1880. G.B. SHADDIX, JR. was buried in the
Pelham Cemetery, in 1920, MARTHA had passed on earlier and was buried in Childersburg,
Alabama.
GREENBERRY H. MATHIS, SR. was born 1814 in
Georgia, but I do not have the name of his wife. I would love to share information, I have some interesting details, some of which were passed on by my father, CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS MATHIS, known as "
Buck" to everyone.
As I have read through the
SHADDIX queries, it's interesting to see how often the name "
COLUMBUS" comes up. CYNTHIA'S mother, MARTHA
CALLAWAY, had two brothers named ALFRED
PIERCE and CHRISTOPHER
COLUMBUS. Funny that in two generations, there was another set, my father and his older brother. My uncle, ALFRED
PIERCE MATHIS, named his son ALFRED as well. I have seen
COLUMBUS in many other listings of
SHADDIX as well.
I look forward to hearing from you.
