Notes - Originally from German heritage "Fux" translated into English "Fox", when Mattie's GGG-grandfather Adam Fox settled in Pennsylvania in 1750's.
then moved to Shenndoah Valley, VA, then to Sevier county, TN.
She married James at age 14! Jame was in his 30's, Mattie lived to ripe old age living with her son Oda Ray and daughter in law Hester Viola Lafollette, on the Smith farm. the Smith farm is said to be north of Sevierville, Tennessee and a little west on 141 or 411...I can't remember. The 1900 census states that Martha E. has been married for 21 years and had 6 children and only 4 are still livig in 1900.
