Someone has made a really serious error in recording this census. Mattie and both her children are listed as Indian -- father mixed blood, mother Cherokee. Sorry, folks. Neither of Mattie's parents were Native American. All other census records and her death certificate list Mattie as white; same for parents and grandparents.
Mattie and her children are living in the household of Stephen F. Moore. Mattie is listed as married, age 41. She is Stephen Moore's housekeeper.
