Tell us. > Cheryl, I believe Mary Matthews Day was Samuel D. Downing's sister-in-law, sister of Margaret Matthews his first wife whom he married in Pike Co OH 8 January 1818 and with whom he had six children: George, Sarah, Elizabeth, Thomas, Mary Jane and Samuel Wesley. By his 16 May 1837 marriage to Mary Matthews Day he had two children: Willian Nelson and John Clark. Mary's first husband is said to have drowned...and his name may be Samuel Day. In an unidentified Hancock Co OH history: "Two other settlers of 1834 were Seymour Hastings and John Mathews. The former located in Section 14, south of Blanchard....Mathews came from Pike County, Ohio, and settled north of the river. It is said that he never owned land here, and died in the township. " There is a George Mathews deed in Pike Co OH 1801; and deeds for Ezekiel Mathews 1832, John Mathews 1836 and William in 1851. Joint owners of land in Pike Co OH, thomas, William, Sarah, and Mary Mathews sold land in 1841. And that is all I know about the Mathews except for material in Logan County, IL printed materials, and I don't know if there is a connection. Sherry
