Wanda I just realized I had been leaving off a child of John Caswell- Edward Lane who wnet to Oregon. I must have read that list a dozen times without seeing the name. That will fill a big hole. Joe Matlock Wanda Here is the article from the Benton County Gen. sociciety and BNGENWEB site. I hope this helps. Joe Matlock John Caswell Matlock John Caswell Matlock was born 10 November 1786 in Virginia. He married Mary (Polly) Merrick, probably in Virginia although their marriage record has not been found. Mary was born 10 March 1790 in Virginia. John Caswell (Cas) and Mary Matlock came to Tennessee with members of the Merrick family. They lived for a time near Nashville in Davidson County and later moved to Humphreys County. The Matlock and Merrick families lived on Blue Creek until West Tennessee was acquired from the Indians. There is a tradition in the Matlock family, with members of the Merrick family, scouted the land across the Tennessee river while it was owned by the Indians. Thus, they were ready to make their claim as soon as it became available. Then they moved across the river and settled on Egal Creek. Cas and Mary Matlock had issue: 1. Rachel Matlock born in 21 September of 1804 and married Ashburn Davis and second Michael Fry. 2. Elizabeth Matlock born ca. 1806, married James White and died 4 April 1879. 3. Edward Lane Matlock born ca. 1808, married Susanna Catherine Fry and moved to Oregon. 4. John Caswell Matlock, Jr. born ca. 1809, married Mary Barnett and died ca. 1850 in Dade County, Missouri. 5. Mary Matlock born ca. 1811 and married a Mr. Evans. 6. Hannah Matlock born ca. 1815 and also married a Mr. Evans. 7. Infant Matlock born ca. 1817 and died soon afterwards. 8. Bessie Matlock born ca. 1818 and died young, 9. Joseph Matlock born ca. 1820 and died young. 10. John Wesley Matlock born ca. 1823, married Elizabeth Flowers and died 5 April 1891. Elizabeth was born 23 July 1827 and died 13 April 1895. John Caswell Matlock died 10 May 1826 according to his tombstone. It has been argued that he died 10 May 1836. However, his widow Mary Matlock is listed in the Humphreys County, Tennessee census, taken in 1830 on page 322. She had two sons and one daughter living in her home. An inventory of his assets and a sale was held 15 February 1836 in Benton County, Tennessee. Those who question the death date of John Caswell Matlock also claim the date of the sale was entered in the records erroneously and that it was held 15 February 1837. However, the entry was made among other records of February, 1836. There has been no evidence presented that John Caswell Matlock did not die on 10 May 1826 and that the sale of his estate was not held and recorded 15 February 1836. John Caswell (Cas) Matlock was buried near his home in what became their family cemetery on the banks of Eagle Creek. Mary Matlock died 18 October 1851 leaving a will dated 1 October 1851. She was buried by her husband in their family cemetery. Submitted by E. J. & Frances Sims >>> "Wanda R" <[email protected]> 06/08/01 12:59PM >>> Joe, In a post that you posted in Feb of this year.

If he was born 1786 he could not have had land in 1797. And if we are assuming that Moore and Jane are the parents of John Caswell they were possibly in there late 50's when they had him. I have that Jane was born about 1735 she would have been in her 50's. From what I've seen most everyone has Moore's birth about 1730. Their first child (if it is Zachariah or William Sr. depending on who you talk too) was born about 1753 or 56. Would they also have a child 30 years later? Something to ponder......

If so, could you help me sort them out so I can find: Henry Matlock b. 11 Jul 1840 McMinn County, TN, d. 21 Oct 1919 and is buried at the Matlock Cemetery. He was married to Mary Catherine "Molly" Barker (1863-1944) and they had two sons - one died at birth and the other son worked on the railroad. Note: I was back there two years ago and have pictures of the gravestone of Henry plus others. Mary was the daughter of Burrell and Rebecca Quintin Wilhoit (Wilhite) Barker and a sister to my grandfather, William Burl Barker. There are two of the family still living and with excellent recall memory but I cannot get them to give me any information on this marriage/couple....except what I have above. In the "Will Book and Court Records" by Reba Bayless Boyer, it lists the following MATLOCKS: Charles - with heirs Henry, William and John and then Mary Dodson, Elizabeth Haley, heirs of Sarah Forrest and Martha Rice, widow of Isaac Rice, dec'd and Wm. Rice and wife Elizabeth. Then we continue on with John, John C., Nancy, William with a few Arnwines, Leuty and other names thrown in. If you are familiar with the McMinn County Matlocks, would you help me in putting this family together and perhaps finding WHY I can't get the info on Henry...........I could care less what the "supposed problem" is......a century has passed....don't think it would really hurt anyone to give me an honest answer. Thank you in advance. Jean L. Robinson Arizona PS: If he was a horse thief.....that's OK with me, too. Or, the "lack of information" may be on Mary's side.....

Hi Wanda It is John Wesley Matlock born about 1759-60 who married Margaret, who is listed as a sone of Moore and Jane..John Caswell's dates are from his tombstone. Joe Matlock >>> "Wanda R" <[email protected]> 06/08/01 01:32AM >>> Joe, When I first started researching the Matlock's the first thing that I found was an old group sheet that was found in the Courthouse at Kingston, Roane Co, TN. I also found a couple of letters from Melba Woods to a Mrs. Hutchison I believe. I will have to dig for these. >From these 2 items is what I first based my research own. It was a good starting point for me for I knew nothing about the Matlocks. In this she said that John Matlock son of Moore was married to a Margaret Unknown. I have this John born about 1760. I also have a deed for a John Medlock which was registered in 1797 in Hawkins Co, TN. (I'll post it to GENWEB in the next day or so). I took it that this John who was in the same general area as Moore was his son. If this is in fact his son. Then the date of the John Caswell you are using for his birth (1786)just doesn't jive. If he was born 1786 he could not have had land in 1797. And if we are assuming that Moore and Jane are the parents of John Caswell they were possibly in there late 50's when they had him. I have that Jane was born about 1735 she would have been in her 50's. From what I've seen most everyone has Moore's birth about 1730. Their first child (if it is Zachariah or William Sr. depending on who you talk too) was born about 1753 or 56. Would they also have a child 30 years later? Something to ponder......

Wanda good to here from you again. Thanks so much for all of the work you and Brenda and all of the others have done in transcribing the census records. John Caswell Matlock, known as "CAS" died in 1826, at least the John Caswell who married Mary Merrick and lived in Benton County, Tennessee did or else we have a body in the wrong grave. MATLOCK, Cas MATLOCK, Mary Born Nov 10, 1786 Born Mar 10, 1790 Died May 10, 1826 Died Oct 18, 1857 (Rock Broken) (Stone Broken) There is some confusion in the early records: "John Caswell Matlock died 10 May 1826 according to his tombstone. It has been argued that he died 10 May 1836. However, his widow Mary Matlock is listed in the Humphreys County, Tennessee census, taken in 1830 on page 322. She had two sons and one daughter living in her home. An inventory of his assets and a sale was held 15 February 1836 in Benton County, Tennessee. Those who question the death date of John Caswell Matlock also claim the date of the sale was entered in the records erroneously and that it was held 15 February 1837. However, the entry was made among other records of February, 1836. There has been no evidence presented that John Caswell Matlock did not die on 10 May 1826 and that the sale of his estate was not held and recorded 15 February 1836. John Caswell (Cas) Matlock was buried near his home in what became their family cemetery on the banks of Eagle Creek. Mary Matlock died 18 October 1851 leaving a will dated 1 October 1851. She was buried by her husband in their family cemetery". Submitted by E. J. & Frances Sims John and Mary's son was: John Caswell Matlock, Jr. born ca. 1809, married Mary Barnett and died ca. 1850 in Dade County, Missouri (?). (He also names a son "Caswell"). The Benton County, Tennessee Census listing for Mary Barnett and her children is the family of John Caswell JR. Then who is John Matlock age 75 in 1850? John Caswell of 1786 has a brother John Wesley of 1759 who has a son Caswell Matlock whose birthday I do not know. Could this be another "John Caswell" who if born in 1775 whose father was then 16? Then who is this?: MATLOCK, John W. (Mason) Born Nov 10, 1786 died Apr 5, 1891 If the birth day is correct then he is a twin to CAS and 65 not 75 in 1850 and very much alive. The J. W. Matlock listed for 1860 is only 37. Old John W. is not listed for Benton County. I think this is the John W. who married Elizabeth Flowers and his birthday should be 21 October 1823. As to his father being Luke Sr. my mind is open but I have seen or at least do not remember seeing any reference to it. Again thanks for the census work!! Joe Matlock >>> "Wanda R" <[email protected]> 06/06/01 06:26PM >>> Joe, I know that you have posted many times this line. But you have that John as John Caswell. But it appears by this listing that they were twins: Caswell and John. Or did the person typing this type it wrong. I had remembered that you had Merrick as wife of John with Rachel as mother. So is this the John that is 75 the one that you thought had died in 1826. 1850 MATLOCK JOHN Benton County TN 279 No Township Listed M C Barnett 38 WM Farmer TN Mary 38 WF TN Lamartin 17 WM TN Augustus 8 WM TN George 9 WM TN William 5 WM TN Mary 2 WM TN John Matlock 75 WM Farmer TN Did John died at 105 year old? Wow... Just wanted to know what you thought. I created a file for Matlock's on my PAF program and I am now since the 1870 census are done trying to piece some of these families together. Wanda

I have traced my grandmothers family to a Matlock who married Jasper Holbert, about 1860? possibly in Ohio or Missouri. All I have is the last name Matlock born @ 1842. Does anyone have any information in connection with this Matlock? Thanks, Randy Ballard

Good Morning Winiford Dr. JWL Matlock is quite dead. He died several years ago. He was a writer, dentist and Episcopal Priest. We were list similarly in the phone book and I used to get his calls.

I believe it is the John Caswell Matlocks that came west to Plesant Hll and Eugene, Or. area Edward Lane MATLOCK (same line)..... have you been able to discover if his middle name represents his "LANE " heritage ??? Or the route he took after reaching Oregon ??? There are about 4 of them (trails), the Columbia River, Barlow Trail, Stephen Meek's (later Macy's central OR to Eugene) and Applegate. It has been hinted to me that you are a Doctor, is it true ?? Do we really have a Doctor in the House ???? Super !!! And to think I think i'm busy. Thank you for sharing .... Still Dancing ...... out here in the Golden West Winnie S. Bailey Box 453, Scio, OR 97374

Terry this is wonderful, wish that it was part of my Wm. Matlock. Thanks for sharing this info with us all. The reason that this is coming to you so late is I just got back from vacation and getting some of my mail (the most important ones) answered. Thank you for sharing this info with us all.

A "Medlock Book" has been in this world for years--so we were told. It fell into our laps when visiting an elderly lady on another line. We had seen a mention of Julia Hunt ever so often and thought she had written the "Book". To our surprise, it was started by her father-Thomas Mason Monroe Pickens (1866-1945) who married Emma Medlock. Mr. Pickens compiled and published his own family and must have started these Medlocks at the same time. After his death, his wife Emma and his daughter Julia Pickens Hunt, added to it. We now have to give attention to this work as Mr. Pickens would have known all the grandchildren of our James Medlock (1800-1837) and Sarah Sallie Jones (1801-1882). Emma Medlock (1867-1959) was the d/o James Travis Medlock Sr. and his 2nd wife Martha James Babb (1837-1927). She married Monroe Pickens 1891. So they would have also known Martha James Babb Medlock. This Family Book is just that, not a Bible. Each page is titled Family Record. The very first page gave us hope and a very big question. Written is James Medlock m. ______? West. Nothing else. We do not know if this refers to a first wife of our 1800 James or to the father of our 1800 James. I tend to think it refers to his father. The second page is James Medlock b. 1800 m. Sallie Jones b. March 12, 1801 on April 3, 1823.Then his 6 children which we know from et al deed. He and Sallie had only one son, James Travis Medlock Sr., our line. Photos and Obits were crammd into this book with no rhyme or reason. We have spent 2 weeks sorting to some kind of order. We took a copier to this lady's house and copied for 10 hours. Then next day made 3 more copies so it would never be lost again. Just think, it was in hiding for almost 40 years. Now to my question--anybody have West in your family line? Does not have to be in SC. 1830 census is the first we find our 1800 James and it says that he was born in SC. If the West refers to his mother, they could have been from anywhere. Our 1800 James first bought land in Laurens County-1823. Also first noted on the 1830 census in Abbeville County was a much older James Medlock. Those records in Abbeville for that time period burned. We have one later West connection already. Malinda Murff, d/o Randolph Murff, married Thomas West and they went to MS. Malinda's brother,Walderman, married Elizabeth Jane Medlock d/o 1800 James. She died and Walderman moved with their 2 sons to MS. Malinda's older sister, Caty G. Murff, married Silas Medlock (1798) who we think was a brother to our 1800 James. ANy West notes out there? Thanks, Terry and Sam

Jana I do not have these books but the Benton County Web Site as part of the TNGENWEB project does have a very good article on John Caswell, birth, death , wife, children, etc. A mention of W. L. Matlock who is not otherwise described and a listing for John Wesley Matlock on the slave schedule for 1860. Elizabeth Matlock, from the William Cooper Matlock - "Elizabeth and or Catherine" Sevier family, who married James White is also found. The articles are indexed but are not available on line. The Medlock family mentioned is of no direct relation to John Caswell and comes form the South Carolina line of Samuel Medlock who married Rebecca Ellis. I have charts if anybody would be interested.

Well to all of the MATLOCK researchers, I am back from my long vacation, and also from getting my oldest Step-Son married off to a wonderful young lady. I am tired from the trip. My cousin and I went to MO,AR,MS,TN,LA,and then back to TX...I am getting my house sided with vinyl siding so I hope that this noise is not too hard on the ears here. *S* I will send out things as soon as I rest up from the trip. By the way the cousin that I keep talking about is one that she and I found each other on the Web...she and I are second cousins from my Father's side of the fence (The MATLOCK'S are from my Mother's side). I put an ad in one of the genealogy helper things and that is how we found each other, for my Father's side of the family have all very very common names...except for one and that is the one that I choose to put in, we have known each other now for 4 yr. And we both love each other as if we have known each other all of our lives....but she is MUCH MUCH MUCH older than I am (49 days to be exact)!*haha* I keep telling her that she is much older than I am too. *S* Well hope that all is well with everyone and that I can get some of this mail answered and then back to the genealogy. As always Keep Digging Them Bones! Sue Miller Marsh

Hi all, Still digging... The Will of Lewis Collins in Granville NC 1784 has the mark of Jurat Mourning Matlock listed as a witness along with John Taylor and mentions a wife named Elisabeth, daughters, Diannah Carter Collins, Janis Gaden and Betsy Robinson, sons, Edward Collins, Lewis Collins and Wiley Collins.... Can anyone identify these folks? Jana Black

Hi everyone, I am still immersed in the math based on what I found in OR on the TN MATLOCK/MEDLOCKs... Does anyone know who this couple is??? I am piecing together what evidence I can find to sort it out........ MATLOCK, Charles to Mary Baker 11-18-1815 [GR] Jana Black
