Hello everyone, Carlyon Sue McKinney sent me a link to Jack MacDonald's Matlock pages and they are truly *wonderful*! Here is the link: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jacmac/matlock.htm It follows the William Matlock Sally shepherd line from VA to IN, etc. I have added the link to our Matlock Family in America website. Please do send me the addresses of any other sites you come across so we can add them to the page - it benefits us all! Happy hunting... Jana Black Listowner, MATLOCK-L

Wanda How good to hear from you again. And for pointing out corrections. You are right I typed Scott County into the wrong block. It took me a while to find the "stepchild" note but I did. thanks again. Joe Matlock >>> "Wanda Albers" <[email protected]> 01/26/01 08:29PM >>> Joe, I believe you might have a couple of errors in your posting to Jana. Rebecca Matlack was born in the Sullivan Co, and Washington Co, area of TN. Her father was living in that area in that time frame. I was told that she died in Scott County, MO. Since there were children born before and after her by his wife Fannie Rayburn I don't know how the stepchild slipped in there. Jason didn't marry the Miller lady until later... May I ask where the middle name for Rebecca came from... Minerva that is daughter of Jason was married to John Browder 7 Dec 1827 in Roane County, TN. The Minerva that married Robert Nall in Hawkins County must belong to someone else. Not sure who at this time. But I would suspect that it is either Charles, Loving or Richard Medlock who were living in Hawkins County when the 1830 census was taken. But narrowing it down some the only one in the 1830 census that had daughters was Charles.

Am not sure who has what - but a few years ago, I did visit Duke U - their manuscript room where a collection of papers donated by two Jus. of Peace (Benjamin Austin & Henry Reed) from old Burke Co. 1756-1879 - there were some marriages listed there - one was: Usley Medlock to Isaac keller on Nov 28, 1797 - Burke Co. (obviously old Burke Co.) I noticed Usley's name in the descendant chart that Joe sent to Jana on Jan 24 - am presuming this is NOT a common Medlock name - and again presuming this Usley is the same.

I have not seen Usley any where else either.

I read it that Richard and Mary still had two teen boys at home; Charles, is 40/50, placing his birth betw. 1780 and 1790 and Loviny (aka Loving - male or female?) b. between 1800-1810. In researching the East Tenn. pages, I continue to see references to Melungeons (of a mix of races) as being endemic to the area and recall that I have heard over and over that MATLOCK is a racially "inclusive" surname. I am beginning to wonder if our research has been tough as a result of things some didn't want disclosed. Personally, I figure I have such a mixed up batch of blood anyhow that nothing would shock or surprise me, but would rather intrigue me, so I am going to continue digging - fair warning! ;) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here is the WILL of Nottley Thomas - mentioned in Richard's Pension Application (no help for us... who was his first wife??? Perhaps she was the Matlock...): WILL OF NOTTLEY THOMAS Page 466 Dated: Apr. 4, 1836 I Nottley Thomas of the County of Hawkins and State of Tennessee, planter, do make and publish this my last Will and Testament hereby revoking and making void all former wills by me at any time heretofore made. And First, I direct that my body be decently buried at the grave yard where my first wife is buried, on my own plantation, in said County in a manner suitable to my condition in life, and as to my worldly Estate as it hath pleased God to intrust me with. I dispose of the same as follows: First. I direct that all my debts and funeral expenses be paid as soon after my decease as possible, out of any money that I may die possessed of or may first come into the hands of my Executors from any portion of my Estate, real or personal. Secondly. I give and bequeath unto my beloved wife Temperance and to my daughter Mary Thomas the plantation that I now live upon. Also, one sorrel mare, also my flock of sheep, also my stock of hogs. I do also will and bequeath unto my beloved wife Temperance and my daughter Mary, all my household and kitchen furniture with the exception of my bed and furniture that belongs to the said bed-and that I give to my wife alone. And also, I give all my farming utensils that belongs on and to my farm to my wife and daughter Mary as the above said property and also my bee stands. I do will and bequeath all the above named property to my wife Temperance and to my daughter Mary so long as the two above mentioned can agree and whenever disagrees the administrators below chosen is to proceed to sell the said property is such manner as they think proper and divide the moneys arising therefrom equally between the said two persons to wit: My lawful wife Temperance and daughter Mary. And as to my son John Tomas and my daughter Elizabeth Toman but now Elizabeth Bassett I do think in Justice that I have done all for them that I can, but yet for the love and affection that I have for them, I do will and bequeath unto them one dollar each out of the money arising from the sale of my property after my decease. I do hereby make, ordain and apoint my assteemed neighbors and friends Lewis Click & Beverly C. Ford Executors of this my last Will & Testament. In witness whereof I set my had and seal.

Here is what I am finding: David Matlock Obit 1811-1898 David Matlock, aged 87 years, died Sunday evening at his home near Bonaparte. He was born in Tennessee in 1811; was married in 1832 to Nancy Brown. They had eight children, six of which with the mother have died. He was again married, in 1876, to Mary Ward. Nine children one of which is dead, was the result of the last union. The funeral services took place from Ward school-house, Tuesday, Oct. 11, 1898, conducted by Rev. J. B. Eyestone, and burial occurred at the Thompson cemetery. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ also listed as related to MATLOCK - Noah E. Ward ~ 21 Dec 1873 - 30 Jan 1946 Obit NOAH E. WARD ------------ Noah E. Ward was born Dec. 21, 1873, and departed this life Jan. 30, 1946, at the age of 72 years, 1 month and 9 days. On Jan. 26, 1901, he was united in marriage with Amy Finette McCracken. To this union were born three daughters and three sons, one of whom died in infancy. During his long and full life, which terminated after an illness of many months, Noah was always happiest when surrounded by his family, friends and neighbors, and especially happy when spared to celebrate his 45th wedding anniversary with his beloved wife just four days before being called to his reward. With the exception of six years in Oklahoma, he spent his entire life as a farmer in Van Buren county. He incurred the friendship of all with whom he met and always stood ready and willing to aid friends or neighbors. As a young man he confessed his faith in Christ, and united with the Harrisburg Baptist church, later transferred to the Bonaparte Baptist church, where he maintained a membership until death. He leaves to mourn their loss, his wife, sons, James R., and Alvin G.; daughters, Mrs. Mary Willits, Mrs. Tina Ewing, and Mrs. Hazel McIntosh. Also 13 grandchildren, three half brothers, John Matlock of Moline, Ill., Charles Matlock of Keokuk, and Steve Matlock of Bonaparte, and four half sisters, Mrs. Anna Burnett and Mrs. Tina Hornbaker, of Burlington, and Mrs. Dorothy Richards of Tacoma, Wash., and Mrs. Nettie Holmes of Moline, Ill.

Teddie "The Matlocks of Tennessee Especially Franklin County" published and complied in 1990 by Dr. John Wiley Leon Matlock of Cowan, Franklin County, Tennessee, is just that. A listing of his family from his records and research with some family legends. I have transcribed the chart and posted them to this list. There is a copy of the book in Public library Nashville Room in Nashville Tennessee. Unfortunately his is the only complete source for this line of descent that I have seen. Parts of it "seemed" to have crossed over to other lines (this is not uncommon) we may dealing with two set of family with the same names, (It happens a lot) . This would also be the line involved in the Forrest Gunfight.

Thank you, Theodora (Teddie) Surnames: BENBRIDGE, DYER, *HASLETT, *MERENESS/MARINUS, *SHREVE/SHERIFF, *TRUXTUN

Hello Gang, It's me again, We have another confused Matlock researcher here. Let's welcome her into the fold with the rest of us confused Matlock researchers. If you can help answer her questions her email address is [email protected] or post to the list. Thanks, Shawn Hi I realize this might be a shot in the dark, but I  am willing to try it, please bare with me.  From what I have been told I am the 5th g grandaughter of Sarah Mcpherson who married John Matlock.  One researcher has given me dates to back this up with John's name actually being Abisha John Matlock. Another researcher has never heard of the ancestor I come from. She descends from this Abisha's second wife, Mary Settle and she has all the children for the second famiy and only 3 from the first.  I have been told that I descend from Abisha John Matlock an dSarah Mcpherson's daugher, Sarah Matlock. This is the child this other researcher has never heard of, of course the first researcher has a list of 7 children for the first wife,what do you think? Can you help at all?  I know I'm confused.    I do know that the child Sarah Matlock m. Richard Albert Forrest on June 9, 1803.  Their daughter Elizabeth Forrest m. Alexander Martin, their son Henry Edgar Martin m. Neatie Jennings( now here is gets confusing again because Neatie is the gg grandaughter of Rev. Jesse Dodson and some of his other children also married in with the Matlock group so i am related tosome Matlock's in more than one way)Henry Martin and Neatie Jennings daughter, Martha Bela Martin is my g grandmother.      I do know that from Sarah Matlock and Richard Forrest down they are all buried in Shells Ford cemetery in Warren county TN. Also, the Jennings and Dodson's are there too. Well, let me know what you think any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.  I will be happy to share what I have, I just need desperately to get this all straightened out.                                             Thanks,                                                 Dana

Hi Shawn; Curtis Interesting information. Mr. Matlack has the this ifromation then lets please encourage him to publish and share. This branch of the famliy is ususlly found as MATLACK in the records and has at least two active web sites the show that do not show Isaac as William of 1648 as his father. There is indeed a Thomas line in this family notable represented by Col Thomas and others who stayed in the north.

It was used only to show the type of records available for the early settlements of New Jersey and Pa. No other mention is made of the Matlack family in the book. Know all people that I, Tallaca, have had and received from John Roberts with the consent of the neighborhood at Pensukin one match coat, one small runlet of rum and two bottles of rum. In consideration thereof, I, said Tallaca, do hereby grant, bargain and sell unto said John Roberts, Timothy Hancock and William Matlack all of those plantations at Pensukin, promising forever to defend the said John Roberts from all other Indians laying claim thereto. In witness whereof, I, the said Tallaca have hereunto set my hand and seal this 12 day of April, 1684. Tallaca (by X) Since William Matlack and Timothy Hancock were brothers-in-law, it pretty Well identifies which William this was.

Anyone up to the task of helping him out ? His email address is [email protected] or post to the list so the rest of us might know as well. Thanks, Shawn Shawn I am looking for ancestors of William Matlack (Matlock) who was born in Cropwell Bishop, near Nottingham England. He immigrated to New Jersey in 1677 and married Mary Hancock. The information I have from Matlack family records collected by T. ChalKley Matlack, ( I have not personally seem them), says that: He was born in 1648. His father was Isaac. He had a younger brother Thomas who had a son - Samuel, and a grandson - John. This does not match your information that his father was George. I would like to know the source of your information. You also show that George had a son John. Is this the John Matlock that came to America two years before William? I would appreciate your help.

Jana Just got back to the office and found your message below. I remembered when Carolyn ask me about Richard that I had sent you Dr. Matlock's work and wondered if you had time to go thorough it. I will read through this again tomorrow and comment further. But hurriedly, the chart I sent you earlier was all that Dr. Matlock had published the differences are bits and pieces that I have found along the way. I have found a few other reverences at the LDS site that confirm the existence of some of the early people but not the family group as listed in the Dr.'s book. While I have been able to confirm some of The Dr.'s family as being listed correctly, mostly those in his living memory or one generation removed the earlier generations have not yet turned up. However I have little on the Matlock and Thomas families you have listed below either. If the thrill is in the hunt then we must be the most thrilled family around, cause we are always hunting... and finding. Your finding of Two women of the same name marring into the family would explain the confusion and I look forward to going back over you notes for new information. You are quite right in encouraging people to contribute to the list. Sometimes the most seemly unimportant byte or bite of information can string together large runs of family material. I am going to leave Richard where he is until I can read through your material again. He can be moved little of this is carved in stone or set in concrete. See you later Best regards Joe Matlock >>> "Jana Black" <[email protected]> 01/23/01 03:33PM >>> Hi Carolyn and Joe and everyone else, OK, OK, you guys... I am diggin' thru all my stuff.... This will be a LOOONNNNG one ;) Joe sent me Dr. John W.L. Matlock's research in the fall and I just haven't had time to get too deeply into it... I too would really like to see us straighten out this line - but, I will warn you, better folks than us have been trying for years to no avail! I descend from William Robert Matlock whose parentage is also still under question... You can see my research and notes here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1matlock.html What you see here may not solve anything, but at least it illustrates my "cornfusion"! Joe, in what you sent me, I see the data referring to the family group of JAMES MATLOCK as follows (in part): JAMES MATLOCK, b. 1737, died 1812. Married Lucinda Madison in 1756. Moved to NC in 1760. Had children: 1) William 2) Richard, b. NC, April 1761. Death unknown. In Revolutionary War. Married Mary Waddell 1784. Had children: a) George Matlock (went to IN) b) Samuel Matlock c) John Matlock d) Mary Matlock e) Daniel Matlock f) Lucinda Matlock 3) David Matlock, etc. etc......... I see no more here... what you have below seems to offer more (??). First I note that the marriage date he shows for Richard and Mary is obviously wrong, as we know from the pension application info. Also, your info below adds Sarah, William and Dorothy (I am cornfused!) - do you have more from Dr. JWL than you sent? Just trying to get onto "the same page" to begin with - I am always willing to have you let me know where I am leading myself astray! I *can* help straighten out one sometimes confusing detail right off the bat and I have an idea regarding something else that Joe's "Dr. JWL" research quoted below seems to be substantiating! ... a George Matlock did marry an Elizabeth Betsey Weddel but so did a William Robert Matlock marry *another* Elizabeth Betsy Weddell/Weddle. Since both lived in the same area (Jackson Co., IN) and were related to each other, it is easy to get them confused... I have all the documentation on both and know that at least they show up correctly on my charts! See the 7th chart down on my page; you can click on George and Betsy to see their line of descent as far as I have it... I have basically come to the conclusion that the necessary resources to sort this out aren't in the customary libraries and until I (or someone else) can get to either Indiana, Tennessee or North Carolina and can go to the existing source data, it will remain a mystery. UNLESS, as Joe mentions, some wonderful researcher NEW to all of us got a computer for Christmas and is lurking in the shadows waiting to see if they want to help "us dummies" get it straight! On this list, the intent is to get it right for future generations! We know the MATLOCKS were notorious for being some what crummy record keepers and we are all doing the best we can! You may hold in your hot little hand *the* piece of evidence we all need - don't be shy, jump in! We may disagree, but we aren't dangerous ;) Here I go... I posted the pensions Joe references last year on our MATLOCK GenConnect bulletin Boards here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/m/a/MATLOCK/pensions and you can see what Jess Armstrong concluded here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/m/a/MATLOCK/biographies/3 The name MOORE as John's middle name is news to me... what is your source for it, Carolyn? This could help a lot if it is substantiated! I think a big CLUE to untangling this line this would be to locate the whereabouts of that Bible that was in the hands of his brother-in-law, Notley Thomas that Richard refers to in the pension application... I'd also like to learn *who* the sister is that was married to Notley...I have tried, but with no luck so far... Elizabeth Mueting's research on the Weddle family includes LOTS on Matlock and has been the basis of some of my charts - I have copies of all this from the library resources in SLC. I agree from what I found that Sarah was one daughter of Richard and Mary. Census record "slash" marks indicate two other females in 1790, Burke County, NC. If what you show is correct, Joe, we now have the names of those other girls! This is potentially very exciting! Can you tell me how you derived the names? There must be a Bible floating around somewhere.... If it is correct, I'd like to add the names to my charts giving Joe credit but referencing Dr. JWL and add an email link to Joe that is OK with you... other ideas??? Something that has puzzled me, was the true identity of Johnson Matlock and Dorothy Matlock who married each other after Johnson lost his first wife (who was perhaps named Polly). My research, and what you show, Joe, lists Johnson as born 1799-1800. At that time, Richard was still married to his FIRST wife - it is well documented that he and Mary Weddle married in 1804 - so Johnson and Dorothy would be half siblings, right? Jackson County, IN documents mention they were related, but not *how* they were related. Can anyone shed light??? I also think we should heed Dr. JWL Matlock's "Preface": "Compiling a family history is a hazardous and uncertain undertaking. Nothing is absolutely certain in genealogy. The information here-in comes form many different sources, from so many people, over so many years. Often information from one person may contradict information from another, and the poor compiler has to figure and refigure, try to make some sense out of it, and settle what seems logical to him. Quite possibly there are errors in this document, and future corrections certainly shall be made. And there are many instances where no information is available at this time. If anyone can supply data that will fill in the many gaps of descent, such knowledge will be more than welcome. I would like for this history to be as full and complete as humanly possible. I invite your contribution, if it will add to what we already know about the Matlock family. A family history is made up of facts, fantasy, and legend. Because of this, the information in this document cannot be certified as absolutely accurate. Take it as it is. It's still a good story." Sounds like he was about on the same page as the rest of us ;) Here is what I have further that led me to the conclusions you see on my charts - which agree with Carolyn mostly: 1) Brenda Avila found in a book called "Tennessee Cousins" pertinent to Richard: 1808 Tax List data - "RICHARD MATLOCK, a revolutionary soldier, was born in HAWKINS COUNTY was evidently brother of JASON and JOHN MATLOCK. RICHARD MATLOCK was born in GRANVILLE COUNTY North Carolina in 1761, and afterwards lived in BURKE COUNTY in the same State." (you figure it out...) 2) Melba Woods and Edgar Matlock are the sources for a lot of my info... Melba and Jess Armstrong researched in cahoots. Edgar was in AR. I have a copy of a letter to my cousin Gene from Melba in which she offers the genealogy you see on my charts and Edgar concurred... both are gone now. Here is part of a 7-15-87 letter from her: " I feel pretty sure your William is another son of Richard Matlock (born 1761, Granville Co., NC). Richard, he lived with 1st wife in SC and then was in Hawkins Co., E. TN when he married 2nd 1805 Mary Weddle. He had 14 children between two wives. I believe his parents were Nicholas Matlock and Mary Shelton who moved from Hanover Co., VA about 1750 to Halifax Co., VA 1755 to Granville, NC and during Revolutionary War went afterward to Burke Co., NC. I suspect Nicholas is a brother to my 5 g grandfather Moore Matlock. He and sons and nephews I believe to be the East TN Pioneer Matlocks. Richard died 1838 Hawkins Co., TN (Rev. War Pension). Part of his family were in Hancock Co., TN and most of his family emigrated to Jackson Co., Indiana. It is said there were twins in this family for seven generations. Descendants still live in Jackson Co., IN as far as I know." She concludes her letter noting that she has been researching the family since 1958... awesome! 3) Jess Armstrong links Richard to Nicholas in the Encyclopedia here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~szmatlok/n.htm 4) From Colonial and State Records of North Carolina; March 24, 1769; Vol. 22, p.487-488): "Received pay from Co. Robert Harris Granville Regiment of Militia, Granville Co., NC for service protecting public peace at Hillsborough, North Carolina in September 1768. John Matlock, Samuel Matlock, Nicholas Matlock, Henry Matlock." 5) I have a copy of an Affidavit written by David Matlock b. 1811 stating he knows William Robert Matlock "well" in 1895, linking the two as related. David is often suggested to be either William Robert's uncle who brought the younger children of William, son of Richard to IN after William's untimely death or William's elder brother. Establishing who this David is would be a key to whether my ancestry links to Richard... David lived in Van Buren Iowa when he signed the affidavit and it was also signed by Lucy Blair of Colorado Springs, CO., age 45. She may be a sister... 6) Richard Matlock's remains were taken to Mitchell Cemetery in Jackson Co., IN which overlooked the farm of his grandson William M. Matlock (Johnson's son), who donated the land for the cemetery, according to Gene D. Matlock, a William Robert Matlock descendant through WR's son James Ransom Matlock. Gene also suggests that this line had Afro-American blood and went to Indiana knowing it was a free state where they would be safe. 7) Encyclopedia of Matlock's says the following: "JOHNSON, Probably a son of Richard, Rev. Soldier. Johnson does not show in Hawkins Co., Tn. in 1830 as does Richard, Charles and Loving. He does show in Hawkins in 1840. According to an historical sketch on his son, William M. from "History of Bartholomew and Jackson Counties, Ind.", Wm. M. was born in Hancock Co. Tn. Johnson and Dorothy, both of whom were born in S. C. whence they removed to Tennessee where he (Johnson) followed his trade of sleighmaking and also engaged in agricultural pursuits, his death occurring there in 1849. His widow long survived him, having come to Indiana in the 1880's and having here died in April 1897. This worthy couple became the parents of 12 children. The subject of this sketch (Wm. M.) having been the 7th in order of birth." Gene D. Matlock suggests that Charles and Loving are children of Richard's by his first wife. He further suggests that Charles may be William Robert's father - further research needed.... 8) Elizabeth Meuting's record of the descendants of John Weddle states: "Mary Weddle, first daughter and sixth child of our immigrant ancestors, John and Mary Weddle, was born Feb. 9, 1780 in Baltimore, Maryland, died post 1861 in Jackson County, Ind. Married Richard Matlock, son of James Matlock, on May 10, 1804 in Hawkins Co., Tenn. He was born in Apr 1761 in Granville Co., N.C. and died Nov. 4, 1847 in Burke County, N.C., buried in Mitchell Cemetery in Jackson County, Ind. Richard served in the Revolutionary War from April 1, 1779 to July 1, 1781. served under Cpt. Montgomery, and Joseph McDowell, and other companies. Pension allowed Oct. 4, 1832 in Hawkins County, Tenn. Mary's pension was dated Apr 24, 1854 in Jackson County, Ind. Records state they had 13 children, but we can only find traces of these four: 1) Johnson Matlock - born between 1800-1810. Married Polly?? She was born during the same period. They had 5 boys (no other information) 2) William Matlock - born 1810 in Hawkins County, Tenn. Married Elizabeth ?? (no other information) 3) Daniel Matlock - born 1812 In Hawkins County, Tenn., died 1860 in Jackson County, Ind. Married Hannah ?? She was born in 1822 in N.C. Their children: a) Louisa b. 1841 Tenn. b) Sallie b. 1843 Tenn. c) James b. 1847 Tenn. d) George b. ca. 1840, married Polly ?? they had one daughter. He died Oct. 10, 1930 (NOTE: makes me wonder if the two George's are mixed up) Mary Matlock b. 1851 Tenn 4) George Matlock - born 1818, married Polly??" 9) I have just contacted the widow of J. Hoyle Mayfield who has a website with LOTS of familiar names, unfortunately, he passed on last fall and his widow is not real familiar with his sources. PLEASE DO NOT contact her for now as she is in the midst of estate settling, etc. with small children involved and has said she will get back to us about connecting Hoyle's data to ours ASAP...

There are Two large schools of thought for Richard. The one you out line is the most common.

The complete chart from Dr. Matlock' s book is in the rootsweb achieve of the Matlock list messages and there have been no changes. I have found some information at the LDS site that supports some elements of this chart. I was hoping that some of our Virginia cousins might shed some light on the subject.

I just thought I'd send you a note to ask you do you have a list of the ancestors of Richard Matlock who was born in April 1761 in Granville, North Carolina and died 04 November 1847 in Hawkins County, Tennessee? I have it from two other sources that his ancestry was like this: Richard Matlock, son of Nicholas Matlock, Sr., who was the son of John Moore Matlock, Jr., who was the son of John Moore Matlock, Sr. ( the emmigrant ), who was the son of George Matlock, who was the son of John Matlock. I think you have it differently. Could you please send me what you have so that I can compare it with what I have?

Jana Good to hear from you again. I just returned to the office today and have had time to read the below only once and I will comment more later except to say now that the Melungeons are one of the great mysteries of East Tennessee. They are of mixed race but of what races is the question. They clam to be of mixed Indian and Portuguese. I have also seem some claim of Hebrew. Whatever the source their dark skin in a Scots-Irish neighborhood did not make early life easer. I have seen one other reference to another in the family marring one. The more looking around I do the more I find cousins of other racial backgrounds especially Native American and almost exclusively Cherokee.

Hi Carolyn and Joe and everyone else, OK, OK, you guys... I am diggin' thru all my stuff.... This will be a LOOONNNNG one ;) Joe sent me Dr. John W.L. Matlock's research in the fall and I just haven't had time to get too deeply into it... I too would really like to see us straighten out this line - but, I will warn you, better folks than us have been trying for years to no avail! I descend from William Robert Matlock whose parentage is also still under question... You can see my research and notes here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jmbhome/1matlock.html What you see here may not solve anything, but at least it illustrates my "cornfusion"! Joe, in what you sent me, I see the data referring to the family group of JAMES MATLOCK as follows (in part): JAMES MATLOCK, b. 1737, died 1812. Married Lucinda Madison in 1756. Moved to NC in 1760. Had children: 1) William 2) Richard, b. NC, April 1761. Death unknown. In Revolutionary War. Married Mary Waddell 1784. Had children: a) George Matlock (went to IN) b) Samuel Matlock c) John Matlock d) Mary Matlock e) Daniel Matlock f) Lucinda Matlock 3) David Matlock, etc. etc......... I see no more here... what you have below seems to offer more (??). First I note that the marriage date he shows for Richard and Mary is obviously wrong, as we know from the pension application info. Also, your info below adds Sarah, William and Dorothy (I am cornfused!) - do you have more from Dr. JWL than you sent? Just trying to get onto "the same page" to begin with - I am always willing to have you let me know where I am leading myself astray! I *can* help straighten out one sometimes confusing detail right off the bat and I have an idea regarding something else that Joe's "Dr. JWL" research quoted below seems to be substantiating! ... a George Matlock did marry an Elizabeth Betsey Weddel but so did a William Robert Matlock marry *another* Elizabeth Betsy Weddell/Weddle. Since both lived in the same area (Jackson Co., IN) and were related to each other, it is easy to get them confused... I have all the documentation on both and know that at least they show up correctly on my charts! See the 7th chart down on my page; you can click on George and Betsy to see their line of descent as far as I have it... I have basically come to the conclusion that the necessary resources to sort this out aren't in the customary libraries and until I (or someone else) can get to either Indiana, Tennessee or North Carolina and can go to the existing source data, it will remain a mystery. UNLESS, as Joe mentions, some wonderful researcher NEW to all of us got a computer for Christmas and is lurking in the shadows waiting to see if they want to help "us dummies" get it straight! On this list, the intent is to get it right for future generations! We know the MATLOCKS were notorious for being some what crummy record keepers and we are all doing the best we can! You may hold in your hot little hand *the* piece of evidence we all need - don't be shy, jump in! We may disagree, but we aren't dangerous ;) Here I go... I posted the pensions Joe references last year on our MATLOCK GenConnect bulletin Boards here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/m/a/MATLOCK/pensions and you can see what Jess Armstrong concluded here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/m/a/MATLOCK/biographies/3 The name MOORE as John's middle name is news to me... what is your source for it, Carolyn? This could help a lot if it is substantiated! I think a big CLUE to untangling this line this would be to locate the whereabouts of that Bible that was in the hands of his brother-in-law, Notley Thomas that Richard refers to in the pension application... I'd also like to learn *who* the sister is that was married to Notley...I have tried, but with no luck so far... Elizabeth Mueting's research on the Weddle family includes LOTS on Matlock and has been the basis of some of my charts - I have copies of all this from the library resources in SLC. I agree from what I found that Sarah was one daughter of Richard and Mary. Census record "slash" marks indicate two other females in 1790, Burke County, NC. If what you show is correct, Joe, we now have the names of those other girls! This is potentially very exciting! Can you tell me how you derived the names? There must be a Bible floating around somewhere.... If it is correct, I'd like to add the names to my charts giving Joe credit but referencing Dr. JWL and add an email link to Joe that is OK with you... other ideas??? Something that has puzzled me, was the true identity of Johnson Matlock and Dorothy Matlock who married each other after Johnson lost his first wife (who was perhaps named Polly). My research, and what you show, Joe, lists Johnson as born 1799-1800. At that time, Richard was still married to his FIRST wife - it is well documented that he and Mary Weddle married in 1804 - so Johnson and Dorothy would be half siblings, right? Jackson County, IN documents mention they were related, but not *how* they were related. Can anyone shed light??? I also think we should heed Dr. JWL Matlock's "Preface": "Compiling a family history is a hazardous and uncertain undertaking. Nothing is absolutely certain in genealogy. The information here-in comes form many different sources, from so many people, over so many years. Often information from one person may contradict information from another, and the poor compiler has to figure and refigure, try to make some sense out of it, and settle what seems logical to him. Quite possibly there are errors in this document, and future corrections certainly shall be made. And there are many instances where no information is available at this time. If anyone can supply data that will fill in the many gaps of descent, such knowledge will be more than welcome. I would like for this history to be as full and complete as humanly possible. I invite your contribution, if it will add to what we already know about the Matlock family. A family history is made up of facts, fantasy, and legend. Because of this, the information in this document cannot be certified as absolutely accurate. Take it as it is. It's still a good story." Sounds like he was about on the same page as the rest of us ;) Here is what I have further that led me to the conclusions you see on my charts - which agree with Carolyn mostly: 1) Brenda Avila found in a book called "Tennessee Cousins" pertinent to Richard: 1808 Tax List data - "RICHARD MATLOCK, a revolutionary soldier, was born in HAWKINS COUNTY was evidently brother of JASON and JOHN MATLOCK. RICHARD MATLOCK was born in GRANVILLE COUNTY North Carolina in 1761, and afterwards lived in BURKE COUNTY in the same State." (you figure it out...) 2) Melba Woods and Edgar Matlock are the sources for a lot of my info... Melba and Jess Armstrong researched in cahoots. Edgar was in AR. I have a copy of a letter to my cousin Gene from Melba in which she offers the genealogy you see on my charts and Edgar concurred... both are gone now. Here is part of a 7-15-87 letter from her: " I feel pretty sure your William is another son of Richard Matlock (born 1761, Granville Co., NC). Richard, he lived with 1st wife in SC and then was in Hawkins Co., E. TN when he married 2nd 1805 Mary Weddle. He had 14 children between two wives. I believe his parents were Nicholas Matlock and Mary Shelton who moved from Hanover Co., VA about 1750 to Halifax Co., VA 1755 to Granville, NC and during Revolutionary War went afterward to Burke Co., NC. I suspect Nicholas is a brother to my 5 g grandfather Moore Matlock. He and sons and nephews I believe to be the East TN Pioneer Matlocks. Richard died 1838 Hawkins Co., TN (Rev. War Pension). Part of his family were in Hancock Co., TN and most of his family emigrated to Jackson Co., Indiana. It is said there were twins in this family for seven generations. Descendants still live in Jackson Co., IN as far as I know." She concludes her letter noting that she has been researching the family since 1958... awesome! 3) Jess Armstrong links Richard to Nicholas in the Encyclopedia here: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~szmatlok/n.htm 4) From Colonial and State Records of North Carolina; March 24, 1769; Vol. 22, p.487-488): "Received pay from Co. Robert Harris Granville Regiment of Militia, Granville Co., NC for service protecting public peace at Hillsborough, North Carolina in September 1768. John Matlock, Samuel Matlock, Nicholas Matlock, Henry Matlock." 5) I have a copy of an Affidavit written by David Matlock b. 1811 stating he knows William Robert Matlock "well" in 1895, linking the two as related. David is often suggested to be either William Robert's uncle who brought the younger children of William, son of Richard to IN after William's untimely death or William's elder brother. Establishing who this David is would be a key to whether my ancestry links to Richard... David lived in Van Buren Iowa when he signed the affidavit and it was also signed by Lucy Blair of Colorado Springs, CO., age 45. She may be a sister... 6) Richard Matlock's remains were taken to Mitchell Cemetery in Jackson Co., IN which overlooked the farm of his grandson William M. Matlock (Johnson's son), who donated the land for the cemetery, according to Gene D. Matlock, a William Robert Matlock descendant through WR's son James Ransom Matlock. Gene also suggests that this line had Afro-American blood and went to Indiana knowing it was a free state where they would be safe. 7) Encyclopedia of Matlock's says the following: "JOHNSON, Probably a son of Richard, Rev. Soldier. Johnson does not show in Hawkins Co., Tn. in 1830 as does Richard, Charles and Loving. He does show in Hawkins in 1840. According to an historical sketch on his son, William M. from "History of Bartholomew and Jackson Counties, Ind.", Wm. M. was born in Hancock Co. Tn. Johnson and Dorothy, both of whom were born in S. C. whence they removed to Tennessee where he (Johnson) followed his trade of sleighmaking and also engaged in agricultural pursuits, his death occurring there in 1849. His widow long survived him, having come to Indiana in the 1880's and having here died in April 1897. This worthy couple became the parents of 12 children. The subject of this sketch (Wm. M.) having been the 7th in order of birth." Gene D. Matlock suggests that Charles and Loving are children of Richard's by his first wife. He further suggests that Charles may be William Robert's father - further research needed.... 8) Elizabeth Meuting's record of the descendants of John Weddle states: "Mary Weddle, first daughter and sixth child of our immigrant ancestors, John and Mary Weddle, was born Feb. 9, 1780 in Baltimore, Maryland, died post 1861 in Jackson County, Ind. Married Richard Matlock, son of James Matlock, on May 10, 1804 in Hawkins Co., Tenn. He was born in Apr 1761 in Granville Co., N.C. and died Nov. 4, 1847 in Burke County, N.C., buried in Mitchell Cemetery in Jackson County, Ind. Richard served in the Revolutionary War from April 1, 1779 to July 1, 1781. served under Cpt. Montgomery, and Joseph McDowell, and other companies. Pension allowed Oct. 4, 1832 in Hawkins County, Tenn. Mary's pension was dated Apr 24, 1854 in Jackson County, Ind. Records state they had 13 children, but we can only find traces of these four: 1) Johnson Matlock - born between 1800-1810. Married Polly?? She was born during the same period. They had 5 boys (no other information) 2) William Matlock - born 1810 in Hawkins County, Tenn. Married Elizabeth ?? (no other information) 3) Daniel Matlock - born 1812 In Hawkins County, Tenn., died 1860 in Jackson County, Ind. Married Hannah ?? She was born in 1822 in N.C. Their children: a) Louisa b. 1841 Tenn. b) Sallie b. 1843 Tenn. c) James b. 1847 Tenn. d) George b. ca. 1840, married Polly ?? they had one daughter. He died Oct. 10, 1930 (NOTE: makes me wonder if the two George's are mixed up) Mary Matlock b. 1851 Tenn 4) George Matlock - born 1818, married Polly??" 9) I have just contacted the widow of J. Hoyle Mayfield who has a website with LOTS of familiar names, unfortunately, he passed on last fall and his widow is not real familiar with his sources. PLEASE DO NOT contact her for now as she is in the midst of estate settling, etc. with small children involved and has said she will get back to us about connecting Hoyle's data to ours ASAP... In any case, Hoyle lists the genealogy as follows (he has more, but no new vital info): 1 John MATLOCK Sr m. (1) Anne 1.1 John Jr m. Hester Watson 1.1.1 George m.

Add in the illiteracy, the migration, the repetition of names and the number of children - WHEW! But we will all keep on plugging away... I am gonna run out the lines of James and Charles and Loving and see where it all goes... This oughta give you something to look at for awhile anyway! Catch you all later ;) Jana Black Listowner, MATLOCK-L -----Original Message----- From: Joe Matlock [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, January 22, 2001 6:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [MATLOCK-L] Re: Richard Matlock Carolyn Sue Nothing like starting out Monday Morning with the big ones. There are Two large schools of thought for Richard. The one you out line is the most common. However, as we have recently found the work down by Dr. JWL Matlock on his Franklin county, Tennessee family has proposed a new family for Richard which I present to you below. The complete chart from Dr. Matlock' s book is in the rootsweb achieve of the Matlock list messages and there have been no changes. I have found some information at the LDS site that supports some elements of this chart. I was hoping that some of our Virginia cousins might shed some light on the subject. There may well be TWO Richards?? Please feel free to comment. Good Luck Joe Matlock Descendants of Richard Matlock Generation No. 1 1.

I just thought I'd send you a note to ask you do you have a list of the ancestors of Richard Matlock who was born in April 1761 in Granville, North Carolina and died 04 November 1847 in Hawkins County, Tennessee? I have it from two other sources that his ancestry was like this: Richard Matlock, son of Nicholas Matlock, Sr., who was the son of John Moore Matlock, Jr., who was the son of John Moore Matlock, Sr. ( the emmigrant ), who was the son of George Matlock, who was the son of John Matlock. I think you have it differently. Could you please send me what you have so that I can compare it with what I have?
