My dad was born in Clopton, Alabama, on the 24th day of May, 1886. His mother was Emma Mathison, dau. of Malcom (Make) Mathison, and Eliza Wright. She was the tenth child of those two. Dad married Mary S. Atkinson, from Georgia, and they had two girls born in Skipperville. Too, I've tried many times to try to obtain church and school records, but none have surfaced. Do have records where Dad and Mother owned a little over eighty acres in Skipperville, and did a lot of Deed trading etc. with the Carrolls that lived there. Family lived on Route "5". It's really been a Merry Go Round. My mother and dad were married in Albany, Georgia. Mother's family was living in Pelham, Ga..

Also, have you tried to get his SS-5 application from Social Security? He would have supplied the information himself and may have known his father's name.
