    3. Joe: I have no idea who Isham Elias's father was I've never been able to go any farther back. I have severial Cemetery books from the Crawford /Gasconade area of Mo. One is Matlock 2 Cemetery, Matlock Cemetery,(Homesteaded by Jesse H.Matlock 1851) and Matlock/Morris/Simily. Rolla Cemetery book has several Medlock/Matocks in it. I have no proof of this but, my grandfather always said that Isham settled where the postoffice is now in Steelville Mo. and was buried in the Meramic bottoms, near there. Of course there were no markers, just rocks. If it would help any I could send you copies of the cemeteries , I have extra. Thanks Joe, Melba

My memory failed me. Again. I thought I had seen a Matlack Will in which plantations in Virginia were listed. It was a Haines Will. I do know of a Timothy Matlack who moved from New Jersey to Virginia. This is what I have on him. Curt Miller Descendants of Timothy MATLACK Generation No. 1 1. TIMOTHY6 MATLACK (BENJAMIN5, JOHN4, WILLIAM3, GEORGE2 MATLOCK, JOHN1) was born Abt. 1763 in New Jersey, and died 1794 in Culpeper Co., Va.. He married HESTER ELDRIDGE December 19, 1785 in Evesham Township, Burlington Co., N. J., daughter of ABRAHAM ELDRIDGE and MARY LIPPINCOTT. Notes for TIMOTHY MATLACK: The following quote is recorded in the Wonderland - Matlack Family History. It is from the records of Asa Matlack, born in October 23, 1783. "Timothy Matlack of Benjamin and Jane Cheeseman Matlack was married 1786 to Hester, (Esther), Eldridge of Abraham and Mary and removed with his family in or about 1786 to Culpepper County Va. where my Uncle Samuel and father saw him and family at Culpepper Court House being (jailer) or keeper of the prison at that place in the 11th month of 1790. Timothy died at 31 years of age." Timothy changed the spelling of his name to Matlock in Virginia. His will is recorded in Will Book D, 1791 - 1803 (reel 32), page 135 - 136. His will was probated on 16 Sept. 1794. The Inventory & Appraisal was recorded on page 138 - 139 on 20 Oct. 1794. Notes for HESTER ELDRIDGE: Asa Matlack, see notes for her husband, spelled her name Esther. Her name is spelled Hester on her marriage certificate at the New Jersey Archives in Trenton New Jersey. Her name is recorded as Hestor Matlock in the 1810 census for Culpeper County, Va. She was over 45 and owned 4 slaves. No white people are listed as living with her. The 1820 census records Hestor living in Culpeper County, Virginia, She owned 4 slaves, 3 male and 1 female. Three people were engaged in manufacture. I assume these were the male slaves. Her name is recorded as Esther Matlack in the 1830 census for Culpeper County She owned 6 slaves, 1 male under 10, 3 females under 10, 1 female 10 to 24, and 1 female 36 to 55. The 1840 census records Esther living in Culpeper County. She owned 8 slaves, 2 males under 10, 1 male 10 to 24, 1 female under 10, 4 females 10 to 24, 1 female 24 to 35, and 1 female 36 to 55. Two people are listed as working in agriculture. Child of TIMOTHY MATLACK and HESTER ELDRIDGE is: i. JOSEPH7 MATLOCK. Notes for JOSEPH MATLOCK: Joseph's father changed his name from Matlack to Matlock when he moved to Virginia. Joseph's descendants probably spell their name Matlock. Page 106 of the 1810 census for Culpeper Co., Va. lists a Joseph Matlock, aged 16 to 25, living with his wife, also aged 16 to 25. Since the only Matlock's listed in the 1810 census for Culpeper Co. were Hestor Matlock, page 103, and Joseph Matlock, Joseph was probably the son of Hestor, widow of Timothy Matlock. The 1820 census for Culpeper Co. does not include Joseph, but a Joseph Matlock with two children was living in Orange Co. which is next to Culpeper Co. ==== MATLOCK Mailing List ==== Other MATLOCK, etc. resources on the net: <http://www.genforum.com/matlock> <http://searches.rootsweb.com/htdig/search.html> <http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/qindex.html> HAVE FUN AND TAKE YOUR TIME!
