Hello Family, Below is a letter from a new found member to our family. I have received many such letters from folks and it just makes my day when I see that we have helped another person. I pray it continues for many years to come. My, how our family does keep growing. I love it. I will be sending him an invite to join us on the mailing list. My heartiest thanks and gratituide to all of you. Thanks, Shawn Shawn, I must express my gratitude in putting together this website for all of us Matlocks.  My Aunt has been doing some genealogy work on our family for a couple of years. I recently got the bug and she gave me what she had.  I then chanced upon your website and not only confirmed what she had but found a whole lot more.  We are descended from those Matlocks in San Saba, Texas.  Andrew Jackson Matlock (b 5 Apr 1880) was my great grandfather.  Preceded by Jason Lafeyette Matlock (1843), and John Milton Matlock (b 1816).  This part of our history we are sure of. I believe what I have gathered from you website is that John Milton Matlock was the son of James Jason B. Matlock Jr. and Elizabeth Hicks.  And that James Jason B. Matlock Jr. was the son of James Jason Sr. and Fannie Rayburn. Before this I think there was some conflicting information. At one point I saw James Jason Sr. as the son of Moore Matlock and Jane Powell.  And Moore Matlock the son of William (ca. 1702)?  I don't know if this was ever proven though. thanks again, James A. Matlock Jr.
