    Birth15 May 1857 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson, daughter of Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore, was born on 15 May 1857 at Pulaski County, KY. There is a discrepancy between family stories as to Mattie's birthdate and birth records kept in Pulaski County KY in the 1850s. The Pulaski County records show four children born to Mathew and Mary Fore Johnson: William in 1853, Mary (shown as a male) in 1856, "Mathew" (shown as a male) in 1857 and Penelope in 1859. The 1860 Pulaski County census shows the four youngest children of Mary and Mathew Johnson as a boy William, age 7; a girl Mary, age 5; a girl Martha, age 3; and a girl Nelly, age 1. It is therefore most likely that the tax collector taking down the information on the children in the years of their births misidentified Mary's gender and Martha's gender and name (she was probably called, simply, "Mattie", a name the tax collector took to be the male Mathew rather than the female Martha). Family records, meanwhile, indicate a birthdate of 15 May 1858. A birth year of 1857 is more likely (it matches the census records); the later date is more likely (there was another child born only 10 months before Feb 1857, the date shown by Pulaski County, and May is shown on the 1900 census).1,2,3 
    1860 Census1 Jun 1860 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of District 1, Somerset, Pulaski County, KY, enumerated 1 Jun 1860, in the household of her parents, Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore. She was shown as 3, born KY.4

    Marriage27 Aug 1874 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson married Martin Gilbert Cottrell, son of George Washington Cottrell and Martha Louisa Baker, on 27 Aug 1874 at Parker County, TX. The marriage license was issued on the same day as the marriage, which was performed by R.S. Proffitt, M.G. (Minister of the Gospel; Rev. Proffitt also performed the marriage of M.G.'s sister Mary E. Cottrell to John H. Green and of Mattie's sister Mary Johnson to Solomon Akers).6 
    1880 Census2 Jun 1880 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson Cottrell and Martin Gilbert Cottrell appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of Clay County, TX, enumerated 2 Jun 1880. The family was shown in Precinct 4. M.G. was shown as a 24-year-old farmer who could read and write, born TX of a father born KY and mother born NC. Mattie, shown as "M.H.," was shown as 23, unable to read or write, born KY of a father born VA and mother born GA. Their children Effalie, John W. and Nettie Hyburnia were listed as living with them. The three children (M.E. [Effalie], age 4; J.W. [John], age 3; and N.H. [Nettie], age 1) were all born TX.

    Note that two of M.G.'s Baker cousins -- George W. Baker and William A. Baker, sons of M.G.'s uncle Josiah Alexander Baker -- were living nearby in Clay County and are shown either on the same census page or the immediately preceding census page as M.G. and his family.7 
    1900 Census9 Jun 1900 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson and Martin Gilbert Cottrell appeared on the 1900 Federal Census of Iowa Park, Wichita County, TX, enumerated 9 Jun 1900. The family last name appears as "Catrell." Martin G. and Mattie were shown as having been married 25 years. He was shown as 44, born TX Sep 1855, father born KY and mother SC. She was shown as age 42 but born TX in May 1868 (which would have made her 32, not 42), with 11 children, seven of whom were living (only 10 children are known), father born KY, mother born England. Their children Nettie Hyburnia, Theo, Maud Lillian, Gilbert Fleetwood and Clay Rex were listed as living with them. Nettie was shown as 21, born TX Feb 1879; Theo was shown as 14, born TX Mar 1885; Maud was shown as 10, born TX Jan 1890; Bert was shown as a daughter Birdie, 7, born TX Oct 1892; and Clay was shown as 2, born TX Apr 1898.8 
    NoteSep 1909  By September 1909, Mattie and MG had separated. That month, they concluded the sale of their home in Iowa Park; Mattie took the younger children with her to live in Frederick, Tillman County, OK.9

Her children Theo, Maud Lillian, Gilbert Fleetwood and Clay Rex were listed as living with her. Theo was 24 and Maud was 20 (both were telegraph operators); Bert was 17 and Clay was 11 (both attending school). All the children were born in TX.10 
    Death3 Jul 1912 Martha H. "Mattie" Johnson Cottrell died on 3 Jul 1912 at Frederick, Tillman County, OK, at age 55. According to her deathcertificate, the cause of death was Bright's Disease (acute nephritis). The death may have run in the family; her nephew Frank Johnson (son of Napoleon B. Johnson) also died of Bright's Disease.

    Her obituary in the Frederick OK Press read: "Death Comes To Mrs. Cottrell. Mrs. Mattie Cottrell died suddenly at her home on North Eleventh street, Wednesday night at nine o'clock, the immediate cause of death being heart failure. Mrs. Cottrell had been ill for a long time with Bright's disease. Recently she had become better and her condition was not considered alarming. Wednesday night she was sitting on the side of the bed, preparing to retire for the night. Her daughter, Miss Maude Cottrell, was in another room, when she heard her mother struggling, and, hurrying in, found life almost extinct.

    "Mrs. Cottrell was a native of Kentucky, but was reared in Texas, where she lived the greater part of her life. She came to Frederick three years ago from Iowa Park, and during her residence here, had drawn about her many friends who had learned to love and respect her. She was a member of the Christian church, and was one whose religion was exemplified in her every-day life. She was 56 years of age.

    "She is survived by her widower, Gilbert Cottrell, of Iowa Park, Texas, and the following daughters and sons: Mrs. Nettie Holly, Montague, Texas; Mrs. Addie Harris, Iowa Park, Texas; Mrs. A.D. Hodges and Miss Maude Cottrell, Frederick; John Cottrell, Mobridge, South Dakota; Bert and Clay Cottrell, Frederick.

    "Funeral services will be held Sunday, upon the arrival of John Cottrell from Mobridge, South Dakota."11,12 
    Burialc 7 Jul 1912 She was buried c 7 Jul 1912 at Frederick Cemetery, Frederick, Tillman County, OK. Mattie's grave is unmarked. It is one of six spaces in lot 47, block F, spaces 1-6 in the original section, purchased by her son John Cottrell for $25.00. The deed for the spaces was recorded on 27 July 1912.12,13

    Matthew Johnson

    M, b. circa 1813, d. between 1860 and 1870

    Birthc 1813 Matthew Johnson was born c 1813 at VA. One family source identified Mathew's father as Samuel Johnson. There is as yet no substantiation for that information.1 
    Occupation He was Matthew Johnson was a shoemaker. 
    Marriage18 Aug 1839 He married Mary "Polly" Fore, daughter of Jesse Fore and Nancy C. [--M?--] Fore, on 18 Aug 1839 at Union County, GA. Keith Townson, former Union County GA Rootsweb Coordinator, found a very small book "Union County GA Marriages" in the Rome-Floyd Library in Rome, GA. It had no publisher or copyright information, nor was there any information about the person who gathered the data and put it into book form. In that book, there was a record of a marriage of Mathew Johnson and Mary "Poore" in 1839. A copy of the certificate, No. 253, provided by the Union County Probate Court, identifies the day of the marriage as the 18th, but does not identify the month. However, the immediately following certificate, No. 254, is dated 19 Aug 1839, so August is most likely correct. 
    1840 Census1840 Matthew Johnson was listed as head of a household on the 1840 census of Union County, GA. Based on age and gender, his household could have included his wife Mary "Polly" Fore. Enumerated in the next entry on the same census page was the family of Polly's father, Jesse Fore.2 
    1850 Census19 Jul 1850 Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore Johnson appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Division No. 1, Somerset, Pulaski County, KY, enumerated 19 Jul 1850. Matthew was shown as a 37-year-old shoemaker, born VA; Mary was shown as age 32, born GA. The oldest three children -- Sarah, 9, Napoleon, 7, and Louisa, 5 -- were shown as born GA; the youngest, James, age 1, was shown as born KY. Only Napoleon was shown as attending school.3 
    1860 Census1 Jun 1860 Matthew Johnson and Mary "Polly" Fore appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of District 1, Somerset, Pulaski County, KY, enumerated 1 Jun 1860. Matthew was shown as a 46-year-old shoemaker, born VA; Mary (Polly) as 39, born NC. Their children Martha H. "Mattie" were listed as living with them.

    Deathbtw 1860 - 1870 Matthew Johnson died btw 1860 - 1870 at prob KY. Mathew was on the 1860 census with his family in Kentucky, but not on the 1870 census with them in Texas. One family source posits that Mathew might have been killed during the Civil War around 1862 when heavy fighting occurred in the area of Pulaski County KY. There is no substantiation for that theory.
