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. Mary Margaret Collum
