Good Morning List I have recently begin transcribing a chart beginning with the family shown immediately below (ISHAM ELIAS1 MATLOCK was born Bef. 1765 in Virginia). Does anybody know of this family?? As I began to work with the data I begin to realize some commonality with the family on the second chart below (ISHAM - ISOM ESUA9 MATLOCK (ZACHARIAH) was born 1782 in Halifax County, Virginia). They start in the same area and move west to Arkansas and Missouri at about the same time. At least one group from each dying together in the Oregon flood at the turn of the century. If anybody has any ideas, please speak up. I will be glad to send the rest of the charts but they are several pages long.
