I860 Madison County, Alabama, census page 074: John M. Lynch family, Madison Station Post Office District
Obviously, the child, listed as Martha F. (for “Fannie”?) in 1850 and as Sarah T. in 1860 was the same as the Fannie M. of the tombstone inscription. It is apparently just another example of the problem of the census variations through time for any given person's records. Perhaps the girl's name was Sarah Frances (“Fannie”) Martha T. Lynch!!!
To compound the problems, there is another John Lynch (per Ancestry.com's index) in the 1860 Madison County, AL, census records. He and his family are found in the northwestern division, Madison Station P.O., page 4. This John Lynch (looks more like “Lanch”) is age 20, a farmer, born in TN. His wife is Margaret, age 29, born in AL. Their children listed in the home are Mary E., 3, AL; and Rutha J., 2, AL. Of course, due to the age of the John M. Lynch listed at age 50 in the 1860 census, this younger John Lynch could well be his son.
