    1. Re: [MDALLEGA] William S. COMBS obituary
    2. Matt, Following is the scant info I have about Mattie. I was following the line of Joseph Keys b 1813 in VA. hoping for a tie in to my Keyes line. Mattie's husband Joseph B. is his son. I have never been able to prove a connection between these families. I do not have any pictures of Mattie or her family, sorry. If you can add any leads to my Keys Keyes line please let me know. Thanks, John Descendants of Mattie Fletcher Generation No. 1 1. MATTIE2 FLETCHER (WILLIAM1) was born 19 Sep 1859 in Piney Grove,Bedford Co.,Pa., and died 27 Oct 1932 in Lineburg, Morgan Co., W. VA..
