of the name "Lathan" is different is different documents.  It is "Lathina

Parish census; "Lathame" in 1870 Winn Parish census; and on her gravestone
in Sardis Cemetery is "L. A. Drewett".  To the best of my knowledge, she
was the first of three wives of W. H. Drewett.  W. H. & L. A. Drewett were
my gggrandparents.)
