I think you will enjoy the article very much since I devoted several weeks of research time to take the Roddy family back to 1680 in Donegal, Ireland. This has been a very enjoyable family for me to research. I am glad that you requested information on the Roddy slaves and their decendents, which makes part 2 of the story much more interesting. This was done at your request and I hope you are not disappointed. I look forward to hearing from you soon and I would like to hear your comments regarding the complete story.

Yes, I have read your Family Roots column in the Woodruff Co. Monitor. I did the original work on The Matlock's of Woodruff Co., Ar. and Their Relatives. I did this for Mrs. Knight, who published it in the Woodruff Co. Historical Society Annual. I think you must have used it as a guide. I appreciate you publishing it again. I also enjoyed the Fowler line you had some three weeks ago. I sure wish I had the birth and death dates for the children of James Nathaniel Fowler and Nancy Jane Matlock. Is there any way I can get in touch, by e-mail, with the lady who did the research ? I think she lives in Augusta. The Barnets, the editor of the Monitor, is in this Matlock line also. She might not want to claim relationship with the Matlock/Fowler people. I started the research in October of 1974 and it continues today. I have covered lots of milage and made a lot of corrections in the last three years. I would like to talk with you about some of the material you have published that I have some knowledge about. Such as the Indians Mounds of Woodruff Co., The Battle of Fitzhugh Woods, The Roddy Cemetery, ect. I lived in Woodruff Co. from 1935 untill 1980. I am getting to long for this medium. My e-mail address is listed above. Please write me. Thanks, John M. Matlock

One of the reasons that I was requesting information on this family was that I need to know if possible who was the neighbor that was hung. In the 1840 census there is only listed by head of households.My Robert James is listed just under Feilding Price . I have no records that I can find after 1840 of my Robert James. This might be grasping straws but I would like to know. Thank You if you can help. I also live in Searcy.
