Terry and Sam have been digging through the deeds of Greenville Co SC and have ran across this one. We are wondering if anyone out there has a clue as to What the relationship is between this John and Catherine? Was this John Matlock Sr or Jr selling this land to Catherine, For it is believed that John Jr was married to Catherine. Had Jr died and was SR selling the land Daughter-In-law? Brenda Book I 361.

Winnie does Melba name any of Moore Jrs children in her work?

Here are the 2 Poems that Edgar wrote with Matlock in them.. We have a Lucinda Young and a Elizabeth Matlock.. Lucinda Matlock I WENT to the dances at Chandlerville, And played snap-out at Winchester. One time we changed partners, Driving home in the moonlight of middle June, And then I found Davis. 5 We were married and lived together for seventy years, Enjoying, working, raising the twelve children, Eight of whom we lost Ere I had reached the age of sixty. I spun, I wove, I kept the house, I nursed the sick, 10 I made the garden, and for holiday Rambled over the fields where sang the larks, And by Spoon River gathering many a shell, And many a flower and medicinal weed— Shouting to the wooded hills, singing to the green valleys. 15 At ninety-six I had lived enough, that is all, And passed to a sweet repose. What is this I hear of sorrow and weariness, Anger, discontent and drooping hopes? Degenerate sons and daughters, 20 Life is too strong for you— It takes life to love Life. As for Davis.. and Matlock we have a Mary Davis.. Dont know what her fathers name was.. DAVIS MATLOCK SUPPOSE it is nothing but the hive: That there are drones and workers And queens, and nothing but storing honey-- (Material things as well as culture and wisdom)-- For the next generation, this generation never living, Except as it swarms in the sun-light of youth, Strengthening its wings on what has been gathered, And tasting, on the way to the hive >From the clover field, the delicate spoil. Suppose all this, and suppose the truth: That the nature of man is greater Than nature's need in the hive; And you must bear the burden of life, As well as the urge from your spirit's excess-- Well, I say to live it out like a god Sure of immortal life, though you are in doubt, Is the way to live it. If that doesn't make God proud of you Then God is nothing but gravitation Or sleep is the golden goal.

No.. I was just looking in Overton Co to see what Matlocks were there at the same time that Thomas Masters and family were there.. Edgars line would of been: Hillery Masters --Mary Davis Hillery Masters - Born ca 1758 in Montgomery Co., MD, Died ca 1813 in Overton Co., TN. He married Mary Davies on 23 Dec 1779 Rowan Co NC It is said that they had ten children. According to places of births of some of their children they left Rowan and went to Surry Co NC into TN. By a Deed I can place Hillery in Hawkins Co TN in 1794-95 Thomas Masters---Elizabeth Matlock Thomas Masters - Born 1 Aug 1787 in Montgomery Co., VA, Died 9 Jan 1849 in Morgan Co., IL. He married Elizabeth Matlock 15 Dec 1811 in Overton Co., TN and they had twelve children Squire D Masters--Lucinda Young His Biography: S. D. MASTERS, farmer and stock-raiser; P. O. Petersburg. Prominent among the stanch men of Menard Co., we find the name of S. D. Masters, who was born in Overton Co., Tenn., Nov. 12, 1812; he is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Matlock) Masters, who were natives of the Old Dominion; Thomas Masters emigrated to the State of Tennessee, where S. D. Masters was born; but, slavery prevailing, and he having seen enough of its workings, he resolved to go North, and, in the year 1830, went to Morgan Co., not far from what is now Jacksonville. March 6, 1833, was married to Lucy Young, who was born in Davidson Co., Tenn., Nov. 11, 1814; nine children; six lived to maturity, of whom but four are now living -- Minerva (now the wife of Rev. B. F. Vincent, now of Philadelphia), Hardin W. (attorney at law, at Petersburg), Anna M., (now the wife of N. K. Rankin); Anna and Minerva were both graduates of the Female College at Jacksonville; Wilber is now at home. Harry was drowned in the river Platte while crossing the plains in 1862; Mary died during her 28th year. In April, 1847, Mr. Masters came to this county and located in Town 19, Range 7, and has since been closely identified with the interests of the county;he is one of the self-made men of our county, having, by industry and economy, acquired a home and a competence for declining years; he has been a man of progress and enterprise. He has been a Justice of the Peace several years, and, in 1856, represented the county in the State Legislature; he and his wife for many years have been members of the M. E. Church. He has always been engaged in farming pursuits and identified with the principles of Democracy. Hardin Masters.... Emma Dexter.... Hardin Masters Biography: H. W. MASTERS, State's Attorney, Petersburg; is a native of Morgan Co., Ill., born Sept. 11, 1845; son of Squire D. and Lucinda (Young) Masters, who were pioneers of this county. He was raised upon a farm, and received his early education at a district school. In 1861 and 1862, he attended the North Sangamon Academy; after which, he attended Illinois College at Jacksonville; thence to Michigan University, where he completed a fine academical education; then taught school for several years. In 1867, he began to read law under the direction of W. McNeely; was admitted to the bar in 1868, and began the practice of his chosen profession in Garnett, Kan., and, after one year, he returned to Menard Co. and took up farming, but through his ability and popularity was, in 1872, elected to the office of State's Attorney for Menard Co., and re-elected in 1876. He married Emma J., daughter of Rev. D. Dexter, of Brattleboro, Vt., Sept. 10, 1867; they have a family of three children living. There was no Lucinda Matlock..

Edgar Lee Masters Life and Career Masters was born in Garnett, Kansas, the son of Hardin Wallace Masters, a lawyer, and Emma J. Dexter. Though his father had moved the family briefly to Kansas to set up a law practice, Masters grew up in the western Illinois farmlands where his grandparents had settled in the 1820s. He was educated in the public schools in Petersburg and Lewistown (where he worked as a newspaper printer after school) and spent a year in an academy school hoping to gain admission to Knox College. Instead of entering college, he read law with his father and, after a brief stint as a bill collector in Chicago, formed a law partnership in 1893 with Kickham Scanlan. In 1914 Masters began a series of poems about his boyhood experiences in western Illinois, published (under the pseudonym Webster Ford) in Reedy's Mirror (St. Louis). This was the beginning of Spoon River Anthology (1915), the book that would make his reputation and become one of the most popular and widely known works in all of American literature. In "The Genesis of Spoon River" (American Mercury, Jan. 1933), Masters recalls how his interest turned to "combinations of my imagination drawn from the lives of the faithful and tender-hearted souls whom I had known in my youth about Concord, and wherever on Spoon River they existed." Though he would never equal the achievement or fame of Spoon River Anthology, he continued publishing poetry, novels, essays, and biographies for nearly thirty years. The amount and wide range of his production far exceeded its quality, by most accounts, and Masters's place in twentieth-century American literature is still debated Over the next ten years he expressed his Populist views in a series of essays and plays, written under the pseudonym Dexter Wallace. In 1898 he married Helen M. Jenkins, the daughter of a Chicago lawyer; they had three children. In 1903 he joined Clarence Darrow's law firm, where he defended the poor over the next eight years. Some dozen plays and books of poems during this period are undistinguished, serving mostly as political tracts and verse exercises. Extramarital affairs and an argument with Darrow unsettled his personal and professional life from 1908 to 1911, when he went into law practice on his own.

What is there on Moore Jrs children?

Yeah but I sure dont know there the Lucinda Matlock comes from.. His grandmother was Lucinda Young "Spoon River Anthology 1915, by Edgar Lee MASTERS" His grand-mother, Lucinda MATLOCK, who had lived in Overton Co.Tenn. A Bible record that Edgar Lee Masters discovered in 1917 on a trip too Morgan Co.Illinois, gives the date of Thomas MASTERS marriage to Elizabeth MATLOCK, daughter of Charles & Susannah MATLOCK., as Dec 15, 1811. Elizabeth was born May 10, 1796, d. July 26, 1845.

No I dont have proof they married in Overton Co.. Im just quoting what Master Researchers have said. I cant even say for certain that Thomas Masters married an Elizabeth Matlock.. I can place Thomas Masters in Overton Co in 1813.. and in 1820 then it appears by 1830 he had moved to IL.

Morning.. Ive been working on Elizabeth Matlock who married Thomas Masters in Overton Co TN.. Any clues on who Elizabeth is the dau of? Brenda

Hi Wanda Wish I could but I have not found any further connection.. The family does seem to married into the Scotts a lot and then move west though.. Joe Matlock >>> "Wanda Albers" <WandaR7@worldnet.att.net> 3/26/2004 10:16:45 AM >>> Joe, I was just hoping that you could add more to the John and Henry Medlock & Scott ladies. Since Henry went to Washington Co, IN. by 1830. Do you know if there was a connection between him and the Nathaniel Mattocks who was there in 1820.

I am a descendant of Eli Wren Medlock. Eli's son Charlie had a daughter from his first marriage named Leotra Odie Medlock. She is my paternal grandmother. Any info that you might have would be greatly appreciated. I have some bits of info if you would be interested in sharing. Just let me know. Thanks for responding, I look forward to hearing from you again.

The Valentine Matlock that was in Overton s/o William Cooper Matlock and Catharine was born 1786 and could not have been father of Elizabeth that married in 1811. Was there another Valentine in Overton Co., TN.

Brenda, The file that I sent you last night had this as well. "Spoon River Anthology 1915, by Edgar Lee MASTERS" His grand-mother, Lucinda MATLOCK, who had lived in Overton Co.Tenn. A Bible record that Edgar Lee Masters discovered in 1917 on a trip too Morgan Co.Illinois, gives the date of Thomas MASTERS marriage to Elizabeth MATLOCK, daughter of Charles & Susannah MATLOCK., as Dec 15, 1811. Elizabeth was born May 10, 1796, d. July 26, 1845. Wanda ----- Original Message ----- From: BA044@aol.com To: MATLOCK-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 9:42 AM Subject: [MATLOCK-L] Master/Matlock No I dont have proof they married in Overton Co.. Im just quoting what Master Researchers have said. I cant even say for certain that Thomas Masters married an Elizabeth Matlock.. I can place Thomas Masters in Overton Co in 1813.. and in 1820 then it appears by 1830 he had moved to IL. I can also say that Elizabeth was born May 10, 1796, and died July 26, 1845 Thomas and Elizabeth both are buried in the Bethel Cemetery Murrayville Morgan Co IL.

It said this about him: S. D. MASTERS, farmer and stock-raiser; P. O. Petersburg. Prominent among the stanch men of Menard Co., we find the name of S. D. Masters, who was born in Overton Co., Tenn., Nov. 12, 1812; he is a son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Matlock) Masters, who were natives of the Old Dominion; Thomas Masters emigrated to the State of Tennessee, where S. D. Masters was born; but, slavery prevailing, and he having seen enough of its workings, he resolved to go North, and, in the year 1830, went to Morgan Co., not far from what is now Jacksonville. March 6, 1833, was married to Lucy Young, who was born in Davidson Co., Tenn., Nov. 11, 1814; nine children; six lived to maturity, of whom but four are now living -- Minerva (now the wife of Rev. B. F. Vincent, now of Philadelphia), Hardin W. (attorney at law, at Petersburg), Anna M., (now the wife of N. K. Rankin); Anna and Minerva were both graduates of the Female College at Jacksonville; Wilber is now at home. Harry was drowned in the river Platte while crossing the plains in 1862; Mary died during her 28th year. In April, 1847, Mr. Masters came to this county and located in Town 19, Range 7, and has since been closely identified with the interests of the county;he is one of the self-made men of our county, having, by industry and economy, acquired a home and a competence for declining years; he has been a man of progress and enterprise. He has been a Justice of the Peace several years, and, in 1856, represented the county in the State Legislature; he and his wife for many years have been members of the M. E. Church. He has always been engaged in farming pursuits and identified with the principles of Democracy.
