There is no record of any other name. We knew her father was Curren, but did not know who the mother was until we found her death certificate. Her death certificate said that Mary Lawson was her mother. Sister Valeria's death certificate names Mary as Mary Manis. It does appear that there may have been a child born around 1880 to Curren and Mary who is missing in 1900. I don't know who that would be. Thomas was born in 1877 and Nettie in 1882. I have had my mt-DNA tested and it matches up with many from the tri-state area who have a female line descended from the Fields family. It is also interesting that one of these matches has the Gilbert family in their female line. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
