Her name was Mattie A. GATES. She was born about 1847 in Georgia. She died on 25 JUL 1919 in Mobile County, Alabama. Her husband was James A. (Angus) McKAY, they married about 1871, he was b. 13 MAR 1846 in Georgia and d. 16 AUG 1928 in Mobile County, Alabama. They can be found in Clarke County, Alabama on the 1880 census and in Mobile County, Alabama on the 1910 census. But I haven't been able to find on the 1900 census. Mattie was mother to 8 children but only 4 are known and only 5 were still living when the 1910 census was taken. The known children were: Lula McKAY b. abt. 1872 in Georgia, George McKAY b. abt. 1874 in Georgia, John McKAY b. abt. 1876 in Alabama and James Robert McKAY b. 8 AUG 1888 in Alabama, d. 17 OCT 1933 in Mobile County, Alabama. I would be most grateful for any information on Mattie A. (GATES) McKAY.
