Hi Melissa No, it should not be Toby. Tode was just a nickname. That is what his granddaughter told me. His real name was William Edward according to her. Tode was brother of my gg-grandfather. It is interesting that Amelia's nickname was not used. It was Mealie.

Dear William, Thanks for the added information. Although I am not researching the Mathis', I have run across them a lot in research of my own and others here in Houston and Stewart Counties.
