- Per on-line family tree at Ancestry.com:
When Martin Luther Vann/Brummett was born on February 14, 1871, in Anderson County, Tennessee, his mother, Mary, was 36. He married Nettie Elizabeth Campbell on September 4, 1898, in Anderson County, Tennessee. They had eight children during their marriage. He died on March 20, 1923, in Anderson County, Tennessee, at the age of 52, and was buried in Roane County, Tennessee.
Source is not given.
The family tree also states that George Washington "Wash" Vann was not married to Mary Vann Brummett when she gave birth to Martin L. Vann/Brummett, Wash's child. Mary was married to Wiley E. Brummett at some point. Her children all are listed as Brummetts in the 1880 census, from 11-year-old Nancy down to 2-year-old Charles Bowman Brummett. That includes 9-year-old Martin Luther Brummett, who is identified as a Vann in the family tree. However, there is no father in the household. (Mary is also shown as a Brummett.)
On his death certificate, Charles Bowman Brummett, the 2-year-old in the 1880 census, is shown as the son of Wash Brummett. (See his record for a copy.)
Wiley E. Brummett and Mary Polly Vann married in Anderson County in 1859. Per Ancestry: "When Wiley E Brummett was born in 1834 in Campbell County, Tennessee, his father, James, was 22 and his mother, Serelda, was 21. He married Mary "Polly" Vann on February 6, 1859, in Anderson County, Tennessee. They had seven children in 15 years. He died in 1862 in New River, Tennessee, at the age of 28."
In the quote above, there is a glaring error. They were married in 1859 and he died in 1862, yet they had 7 children in "15" years. This is an assumption made by Ancestry based on their marriage date and the date of the last child's birth as given in the family record (brummett family tree on Ancestry.com). More likely Mary's children were not Brummetts by blood but were probably the children of an unknown Vann, although John Parker Vann and George Washington "Wash" Vann have been identified as fathers. DNA testing could sort out this mystery.
