Several points. I've talked to my mother since I saw read your follow up.Carrie Mattison Armstrong was indeed my grandmother Ida Luna Mattison's real aunt and the sister of (among several others) John Mattison (a missionary who died/disappeared in South America (I believe Guatamala) and Hezekiah Branson Mattison who was Ida's father.Hezekiah was a farmer & fiddle player and square dance caller.He played for the dances at Eskine college and various other places.My mother has his fiddle and a portrait.He was black haired, blue eyed, and lookedlike a gunslinger.What may be new and helpful to you is that Carrie Mattison Armstrong was married TWICE, first to a CLINKSCALE and then to an Armstrong.I have seen the Carrie Armstrong papers I mentioned in the first post.They are typewritten and look to be from the 1920's. In them
Carrie traces her connections from the McAdams's.I myself haven't seen these papers for thirty years but my mother does have them.She doesn't know exactly where they are but is sure she still has them.I know this is very frustrating for a researcher but my mother's 80 herself and doing the best she can.Hopefully she'll find them and send me a copy.Hope this helps.
