Re: The Obituary of Elder J.M.Dickerson stated he had a daughter, Mrs.  Mattie Quesinberry, wife of Deacon Heath Quesinberry----- The name Deacon was probably given him because of his position in the church, which I have known to be true, and he really had another first name.  If any of you have Quesin(en)berry in you database that may help me, let me know.    All I have is what I found in Ancestry.com which is as follows: Robert Heath Quesenberry, son of Daniel F. Quesenberry, B. 28 Mar 1889 D. 1986 married on 9 sep 1914 to a Mattie Dickerson B.21 Sep 1891 D. 17 jul 1983 Could these two be the same?  Yes, but I need documentation of it. If this Mattie Dickerson fits in, her mother, Julia, died 3 months after she was born.
