Would like to thank you for such a wonderful site! I have been searching for months for Mary Mathews family. Mary married James Tolbert. My birth dates are slightly different from yours, but I took mine from the Surry County, N.C. census. (See below) Hope to see more about James! Will let you know what I find! Have you heard anything about the Mathews being Cherokee?
Kind regards,

It is believed that Laura was pregnant with Walter when she married Fountain but Walter was not the son of Fountain. It is believed that his father was a Mr. Martin. Family members say that Laura had three children by Mr. Martin. She had a son Sid Tolbert when she married Fountain. And her daughter Meda (or Media) that married a Linville is believed to also be the daughter of Mr. Martin. After Fountain died and Laura was not able to care for herself, she was taken to Ben & Susie Jarrell' s home. They were not really able to care for her. Laura wanted to live with her granddaughter that she raised, Marie Jarrell Cockerham. Laura had raised Marie and Mary, the illegitimate children of Laura's daughter Dazzie Jarrell Skinner. Inez Bobbitt, another granddaughter looked after her for a while. Eventually she was taken to her son Walter's house. There she fell off the bed and broke her hip and after that they put her in a rest home. Laura was not good to Marie's sister Mary like she was to Marie.
