Accoring to my records taken from sister's to Annie, Minnie(Bruton) Shipman, Georgia, & Lizzie Mae Bruton Jessie Reuben Bruton and Mattie Martha David James Rhodes were married in Bunet county, Texas. Mattie is not a nickname but a shortend version of Mattie Martha David James (Rhodes) Bruton. She was the only child of David Jeremiah Rhodes and Henretta (King)Rhodes and was born shortly before the death of her father in Luka, Mississippi in the civil war. My Dad says this is why she had so many names because they feared she would be the only child.
Herietta and Lee are the same people in that Henrietta (the oldest child of Jessie and Mattie) is Henrietta Lee. She married Clayton Hamlett and the had one child named Andrew.
