    3. I hesitate to publish much information on family that far back as I did not do the best job of keep my notes and sources straight when I first started. So now much of what I feel is correct, I can now only list as speculation to which I welcome all comments. Somebody some where has a Bible or deed or something that will point us in the right direction. Until then here is what I "think". Good Luck Joe Matlock Descendants of John Matlock Generation No. 1 1.

The only question I have is how confident are you of the Jason Sr., Moore, William 1702 lineage? It seemed right to me but Wanda was telling me that, while she lists the William father of Moore line in her charts, there are some who think that a John married to Ann was father of Moore. I've been trying to find more information to support either one. Best, James

    3. So you are listing William Matlock b. 1702 as the son of John Matlock Jr. in this case rather than the Sr. I've looked at it both ways, especially give the following information that Wanda shared with me: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: Abstract from "Register of St. Peter's Parish, New Kent County, VA, 1684-1786": (1)Pg 21, Jno Medlock listed St. Peter's Parish along with Jam Moor; (2)Pg 373, George Son of John medlock Ju& baptiz ye. 8 June 1701; (3)Pg 374, William Son of Jno medlock baptiz the 19 July 1702. (4)Pg 374, Thomas Son of Jno medlock Ju& baptiz the 21 nov& 1703; (5)Pg 413, Jno medlock and (blank) married the 27 aprill 1701; (6)Pg 437, Anne wife of Jno medlock dyed the 23 march 1699/700. *Listed as Ju& and Jno. Only 2 children with father as Jno Ju&; George and Thomas and notice that Jno& son was born in 1701. Jno Sr. who had William in 1702 is listed without the Ju&. So I would assume that who ever wrote these in the Vestry book knew the difference between the two men. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is obvious that the last entry is for John Sr. father of John Jr. as it lists the death of his wife Anne. The other entries could all be for John Jr. or they could be a mixture of John Jr. or John Sr. depending on who the was getting married 27 April 1701. From this I can see two equally plausible scenarios. Scenario 1: George, William, and Thomas were all sons of John Matlock Jr. Their birthdays are certainly far enough apart for John Jr. to have fathered all three with Hester. The omission of Jr where John's name is mentioned in conjunction with William's birth was either an oversight or it was done by a different person than for the other two births. Also that John Matlock Jr. married Hester Watson on the 27 April 1701 and they had a son George three months later. Scenario 2: George and Thomas are sons of John Matlock Jr. Anne wife of John Sr. died and John remarried two years later to a younger person not named. This would not have been uncommon for the time. They had a son William the following year. John would have been 64, not too old to father another child. The use of Jr. in the registry was used to distinguish between the two John's. Unless someone has more evidence to point in one direction or the other I see both cases as equally plausible.
