(update 7-1-2008)
Mattie is the daughter of Wiley and Sarah Ann Rogers. The 1870 census shows them to be 5 years old so that still doesn't match what the tombstone has. I guess we will never know for sure the right birth date. I have not located Mary or Sam Dunnavant since the 1900 census. Maybe that family will hold answers if I ever find them. I personnaly think she was born 10 February 1865.

With the help of a FAG member who saw this I have discovered why I was never able to find Sam and Mary Rogers Dunaway. It seems the census has the wrong name. It should read Dunnavant. There is a Tennessee marriage record for Sam Dunnavant and Mary Rogers and I am 99% sure this is the same couple.
