Garrie & Luther's gravestone shows BRITT. 
   (Find a Grave Mem. #35379101 & #35379087) 

However, most records give BRETT.  Her in-laws, James Elbert & Mary (JOHNSON) 
   BRETT, are buried at the New Hope Church site, Como, Hertford Co., NC. 
   (Find a Grave Mem. #81752855 & #81752834) 

Garrie's D.Cert. gives the same mis-spelling of her mother's name. 

Her 1914 Hertford Co., NC m.cert. gives dt/o Stiff & Tamilda.
