Is there something wrong with the info given here: Anna Laura Mathis at FamilySearch ?  If you click on each of her parents listed there are sources for each.  Her father has 25 sources listed.

Not sure with seeing her listed on census, seems she was born before they married

I added Jefferson Mathis-2386 as her Father

Ok Thanks I believe her Find A Grave Memorial has incorrect birth on stone.  I left a note on profile.
I didn't get a chance to respond to your comment about the census but I'm glad that Ruben has pointed out that she was born after 1880.  That would have been my guess if she wasn't in the 1880 census.  As a big contributor to F-a-G I've seen far too many examples of the birth year being off.
Thank you for helping
