Lem Saw your you note on Genforum and I believe I can contribute to the cause. Below are two charts I have collected over the years. I believe the over laps are supporting evidence. The Thomas Buckingham Matlock who married Elizabeth Mckinney had a son Thomas J. born at about the right time. I also found a Thomas Jefferson born at about the right time who has children of the same name as yours. While this is not direct "evidence" I believe it supports the contentions. I am going to include your material into my notes with a point that the attachment is conditional. thanks Joe Matlock Descendants of Thomas Jefferson Matlock Generation No. 1 1.
