  The 1900 census reports that Mat's birth date was December 1854, but family sources report his actual birthday was 16 November 1856, the date which appears on his gravestone.
  
  Mat's real name is reported in genealogies as Matison (not Madison) A Mullinax.  he was called "Mat" for short, which is sometimes seen written as Matt.  And one census records his name as Madison instead of Matison.  Originally I thought his wife was Louisa Forrester, since Mat and his wife Louisa are living three doors away from Louisa's mother Zenith (Barnes) Forrester.  But other sources led me to determine that Mat's wife was Louisa Jane Jordan.
  
  Family genealogies provide more details abotu Matt and his family.
