Mary/Martha J. Williamson age 27 is a person of interest.  I have been unable to determine if she was related to my Williamson family of Loudon County, Tennessee who moved to Tennessee from Moore County, North Carolina.

The evidence that Mary's maiden name was Williamson is the 1931 death certificate of her daughter Anna Florence (Florence) Jordan age 2.  Florence's death certificate listed her parents as John Jordon (sic) who was born in Moore County, North Carolina and Martha Williamson who was born in Loudon County, Tennessee.

Henry S. Catlett age 46 was the son of my fourth great grandparents Benjamin Catlett and Nancy Loveday.  As such, Henry was the brother of my third great grandfather James P. Catlett.

Henry's wife was Martha E. Andes age 46.  Martha's surname is documented in the 1931 death certificate of their daughter Mary Jane Catlett.  However, Henry and Martha's marriage was before the courthouse fire in Sevier County, so there is no courthouse marriage record.  Also, I have not been able to determine the identity of Martha's parents.
