Looking to confirm the full name of (1823-1899)Richardson Monroe Feagin’s wife.
Some have her listed as Leah Elizabeth Matthews (1823-1885), some as Mathis. She was a country doctor. Their son, William Richardson’s death certificate lists her as Bitsie Mathis, but I cannot confirm.
Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
