My gg grandfather was John Matthews (b. bet. 1810 - 1816 in Hopkins County, KY, d. abt Feb 1846 in Hopkins County). My gg grandmother was Mary Ann McKinney (b. abt 1816 in Hopkins County, KY, d. abt 1870). They had 4 sons and 2 daughters that I know of. I strongly suspect that John was a sibling of Rebecca Matthews-Robertson (b. Oct. 17, 1812 in KY, d. Nov 18, 1881 in Fayette County, IL, buried in Little Hickory Cemetery, Hurricane Twshp, Fayette County, IL, married to Ebenezer Alexander Robertson [cousin to Mary Ann McKinney]) and Greenbury G. Matthews (b. 19 Oct 1808, prob. in Hopkins County, d. 20 Nov 1865 in Hurricatn Twp, Fayette, IL, buried in Little Hickory Cemetery, Hurricane Twshp, Fayette County, IL, married to Malinda Fox). I also strongly suspect that he/they were children of one of the brothers, Peter, John, James, or Isaac Matthews who lived in the area when John, Rebecca, and Greenbury were born. As additional circumstantial evidence, John had sons named John and Isaac, and both Rebecca and Greenbury had sons named James, John, and Isaac. I would appreciate any help I can get.
