While it's fresh.. I stopped by the New Prospect Freewill Baptist Church cemetery , Reverend Bobby Register, Pastor in Edwin AL (Henry or Barbour? County) today and found the following information on these adjacent monuments: Malcom Mathison b. Oct 11, 1813 d. June 24, 1897 Eliza wife of M.Mathison b Oct. 23 -- d. Sept 17, 1905 Rev. Elias Mathison b. July 11, 1853 d. June 7, 1899 MOTHER Mary J.Guilford b. March 4, 1851 d. July 2, 1899 Mary J. Guilford must have been the wife of William Everett Guilford..her children called her Mollie..William and Mollie were married May 11, 1868 in Henry County. I do not know where the name Tabitha Mathison come from although I saw some information that she married William Guilford in 1868..
