She is the daughter of Thomas Jefferson Holliday and Charlsie Ann Webb.
I have the marriage certificates for the first three marriages, but have not looked for the one on Gilliland.

Something to think about:
The Date of Birth of Mattie Frances "Fannie" Holliday Hubbard Crosley Harper Gilliland.
Date of birth, 13 April 1876, is listed on the tombstone. I assumed this was accurate. But there are other inaccuracies on the tomb stone also. I questioned that date of birth after finding the 1900 census where it is listed as April 1883.
1. Investigation reveals: She is NOT listed with her family in the 1880 census. If she was born in 1876 she would be listed. The youngest child listed is Jasper, and he was born in 1879. Source Citation: Year: 1880; Census Place: Coxs, Etowah, Alabama; Roll: 13; Family History Film: 1254013; Page: 297B; Enumeration District: 064; Image: 0102.
2. In the 1900 census it gives her birth date as April 1883. She is listed as being four years younger than Jasper. 1879 plus four years is 1883. Source Citation: Year: 1900; Census Place: Howelton, Etowah, Alabama; Roll: 16 ; Page: 7B; Enumeration District: 160; FHL microfilm: 1240016.
3.In the 1910 census she is 26, which would make her date of birth about 1884. Source Citation: Year: 1910; Census Place: Howelton, Etowah, Alabama; Roll: T624 _13; Page: 5B; Enumeration District: 0070; Image: 963; FHL microfilm: 1374026.
4.In the 1920 census, she is 36,which would make her date of birth about 1884. Source Citation: Year: 1920; Census Place: Howelton, Etowah, Alabama; Roll: T625_15; Pag e: 16A; Enumeration District: 109; Image: 799.
5. In 1917, her marriage certificate, where she gives the information herself, it lists her as being 33 years old, which would be about 1884 as a birth date.
6. In her 1924 marriage certificate, where she gives the information herself, she is listed as 41, which would make her date of birth about 1883.
Due to these six records, I think the birthdate on the tombstone is wrong.
