Good Morning Bud I live Right in the middle of the state, as a matter of fact. Always good to meet a direct descendent of one the family branches. Your David is my 1st cousin 6 times removed I think. I have enclosed a couple of charts. This too is information I have assembled over the years, No sure of all of it. Sorry but none of your attachments came through the bug screen on our net work. Try sending as a file, with a .doc or .pdf file extension. Try putting the link in the message area of your email rather than as an attachment. There is also a DNA study going on for the family. We have already linked Matlock, Medlock and Matlick branches and have a Matlack in testing phase. If have any male relations who have the surname I would be glad to email you the link. Thanks again for your quick response. Joe Matlock Descendants of William James Matlock Generation No. 1 1.

McPherson's parents were Henry McPherson and Mary Eaton. Have not had a chance to verify this or even look it up. Maybe I'll have a chance to research this when I go to TN in May.... He was just speaking off the top of his head at the time and said he was fairly certain he was correct on it... But that he would try to find his source and get back with me. This was before Christmas... He has no computer so it takes a while to get answers that way.I have often wondered if they might be connected to Barton McPherson or either Richard who were in Grainger.. Richard sold land to John Matlock in Grainger County I believe in 1802. xiii. NANCY MATLOCK, b. Abt. 1801, Tennessee; d. Aft. 1870, Roane County Tennessee; m. WILLIAM KITCHENS.

I began researching my own Matlock family ancestry about 8 years ago and subsequently corresponded and exchanged emails with several Matlock researchers. My own research starts with my gg grandfather, Rev. David Matlock, who was a grandson of William Matlock and Sarah "Sally" Shepherd (not proven). I have proved up David's parent as being John Shepard (or Sheperd) Matlock, Sr. and Eleanor Haggerty, supposedly one of William's sons. Beyond that I have relied on research given to me by others. I will forward links for two Matlock sites that may be of interest to you, if you have not already seen them. My Matlock family went to Indiana and then on to Illinois in the 1800's, where I have studied them extensively and have some of David Matlock's personal possessions. I have posted some information from a page in David's Bible about his family on the Kendall County, Illinois web site. If I can be of further help, please let me know. It looks like you are from Tennessee?
