My 2nd great grandmother.
Wife of Civil War soldier Mansfield Bonnett.
Beloved mother of: Charlotte, Andrew Marion, Mary E., William Mansfield, Laura Ann, and Helen Amelia Bonnett.
Listed as Mattie, Massie, Mary, Martha and Mercy in records. Her name is listed here as Massie, since that is the name given on her marriage license and the name that her children called her.
Daughter Helen stated in a hand written letter that her mother was Massie Gandee, and that she died exactly one month before Helen's father Mansfield.
According to family, the graves of Mansfield and Massie Bonnett are believed to be in Brown Cemetery where their son Will and other Bonnett family members are also buried, some without stones.
Up until the 1990's the graves were kept clean and decorated by family members until the cemetery became so neglected, they could no longer make their way through.
