I show that she had 7 children, none of whom are named Matilda, but I may not have all of her children listed (although the child's name would be Lowder). Perhaps Matilda Thomas had a brother who named one of his daughters after her. I know that was common at that time. Do you have the names of your Matilda's parents? I show James Thomas and Sabina Penland as my Matilda's parents, and that she had a sister named Minerva. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
