Well, Wanda ... Sharp !!, I didn't catch that .. in my file I didn't have a birth date down for William Arner MATLOCK ... I have 1.1.3.1.1.1. William Arner MATLOCK = Mary SAMSON, as the son of 1.1.3.1.1. Benjamin and Polly LEE ... the son of 1.1.3 1. Nicholas MATLOCK (Joe's no. 7) and Elizabeth TERRILL ..... Joe of TN. gave William a birth date (I think) and has them listed as brothers. That makes the birth dates of these two men important ... are they brothers ... or father and son ???? Joe ... help ... help .... I had to switch from following the male line to the female ... does the old brain good to change, I do not care for ruts, I can fall into them to easy. Otherwise your charts and Melba's records are close, some absent children and dates, but closer than I would expect ... after all it must be 10 to 20 years difference since she was working at genealogy. Her Book was a last ditch effort to save her 30 years of effort from being lost or destroyed ... all of you should be looking ahead to save your work. Still Dancing ...... Should change this to "Still Jabbering" But that doesn't sound so exciting, doe it?? Winnie S.
