This is way far "moore" than you every wanted to know, but so little is out there about the Matlocks and the Wiits that I save everything....hope this helps. Joe Matlock Descendants of John Matlock Generation No. 1 1. JOHN7 MATLOCK (WILLIAM JAMES?6, ) was born Abt. 1734, and died Aft. 1780 in Burke County, North Carolina. He married JUDAH JUDITH WITT 22 November 1756 in Goochland County, Virginia, daughter of JOHN WITT and ELIZABETH LIPTROT. She was born Abt. 1735 in Virginia. Notes for JOHN MATLOCK:From Lou PERO, 10 Oct 1992; Dear Winnie, The descendants of John MATLOCK were associated with the HUSLEY's and the two families stayed together for over 100 years, down through the Dan River area of N C/Va border - New Kent Co. VA., & Burke Co. N.C. during the Rev War and then into Greenville Co. S.C. by about 1785. John MATLOCK was a brother-in-law of Charles HULSEY, their wives apparently the daughters of John WITT. On 2 Jul 1756, a son, Charles, was born to Charles HUSLEY and Hannah WITT. On 1 Jul 1759, a daughter, Parthenia was born to Charles HUSLEY and Anna WITT. [Note: Lou PERO was a non MATLOCK, but she found the above information when searching for her family history ... I wonder if the name she mentions as "HUSLEY" could possibly be "HORSLEY"?] Not My Note JWM Arthur Fred Jones, JrEntries: 250 Updated: Sat Aug 25 22:31:14 2001 Contact: Terri Jones aimwolf@yahoo.comID: I180 Name: John MEDLOCK Matlock Sex: M Change Date: 24 NOV 2000 Marriage 1 Judah WITTMarried: 22 NOV 1756 in Henry County, Virginia Note: Note: They lived in Henry County, Virginia and Rockingham County,North Carolina. http://www.gendex.com/users/monty/fam10750.htmlClan Montgomery Society Genealogy Database Husband: John MEDLOCK Born: ABT 1700 at: Married: at: Died: 22 NOV 1756 at: ,Goochland,VA Father: Mother: Other Spouses: Wife: Judah WILL Born: at: Died: at: Father: Mother: Other Spouses: CHILDRENName: John MEDLOCKBorn: 27 SEP 1758 at: ,Goochland,VA Married: at: Died: BEF 1800 at: Greenville,SC Spouses: Catherine 1770: *** ** - 1770 List of Tithables, Pittsylvania Co, VA Peter Copland list: David Matlock - 1; Charles Balew - 1, 2 scalps wanting Robert Chandler list: John Medlock - 1 "pd" From: "David Nixon" <Denixon@conwaycorp.net>To: <MATLOCK-L@rootsweb.com>Date: Wednesday, May 12, 2004 11:45:58 AMSubject: Fw: [MATLOCK-L] Botetourt Co John and Judith, Didnt show up in Gereenville untill 1789.

I've abstracted all the pertinent info from eachentry. I hope someone will find something useful. JanetFamily Puzzlers 1992No. 1229, p. 6 Found in the Douglas Register that in Goochland Co., VA, John MATLOCK or MEDLOCK m. Nancy Witt, and Charles Hulsey m. Hannah Witt, probably daus. of John Witt. MATLOCK and Hulsey bought land adjacent in Greenville Co., SC 1789-90, as did Charles Estes, possibly father of Joshua Estes who m. Elizabeth Hulsey and Jesse Chandler, somehow connected with the family of Michael Henderson. Silas and James MEDLOCK may have been sons of Nathaniel MATLOCK, possible brother of Mary MATLOCK who m. Garrett Rutledge in 1791, and later m. Waddy Thompson. All these people lived 1790-1800 in Greenville Co., SC; by 1805 many of them were in NE GA and by 1818 some came to Franklin Co., AL. The Hulseys and MATLOCKS lived earlier in Burke Co., NC. Many may have been in Louisa Co., VA in 1750s with Tyree Harris, William Anderson, Samuel & Anthony Waddy, Thomas Thompson and Nathaniel Pope. iv.

She gives her father as John Matlock, and her first husband as Garret Rutledge. Joe Greene, 611 Tarragona Way, Daytona Beach, FL 32114, (1991, now deceased) has researched the Matlocks, and gave me my best clues to the origins of the Hulseys, since he had tracked the Matlocks by noting their close association with the Hulseys. Something of this same thing is possible with the Matlocks. Here is one paragraph from a very informative letterfrom Joe to Anna and me: "...Based on the 'Douglas Register' I conclude that John Matlock (Medlock) and Charles Hulsey of Goochland Co were brothers -in-law, who both married Witts, probably sisters....John Matlock and Charles Hulsey bought adjacent land in Greenville Co, SC around 1789/1790. So did Charles Estes and Jesse Chandler. I feel these families intermarried....Jesse Chandler seemed to be closely connected with the family of Michael Henderson. My g-g grandfather James Medlock (who married a Sallie Jones) named a daughter Mary Henderson Medlock. Silas Medlock, probable brother to James Medlock, named a son, Henderson Medlock, according to the 1850 census (not verified by other family records). I suspect James and Silas were sons of Nathaniel Medlock, of the same area, and grandsons of the aforementioned John Matlock. Nathaniel Matlock may have been brother to your Mary Matlock, who married Garret Rutledge in 1791 and then Waddy Thompson, according to your letter."Birth: 1773 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia Note: Her birthdate is derived from the fact that she said she was near 69 years of age when she applied to receive the back pay for Robert Thompson. The map locks and the whole cities apparently lived near each other and probably intermarried from the early 1700s. In the first two or three pages of the Hulsey book, I listed all the deeds I could find for both families. It appears to me that they must have been living in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, which later became Henry County about the time Mary was born. This area is right along the Virginia/North Carolina border. I think they then moved to Rowan County, North Carolina from which Burke County was formed in 1777, and from there to Greenville County, South Carolina probably a few years later. Mary says she wasbrought up in Greenville County. I should add that earlier researchers thought she had said Granville district, but to me it looks like Grinville, which would most likely be Greenville.1 Census: 1850 Franklin County, Alabama Note: She is in the household of John Tharp, her age given as 75 born South Carolina.

Thinking of the naming pattern that is said to be common for back then... I could see where Charles, and perhaps Berry may be sons of William of 02, but am not so sure about the John... It is thought that John who married Judith Witt was the son of William 02.. Those of you working on John and Judith... is it possible that John was in Botetourt Co 1782? ==== MATLOCK Mailing List ==== If you would prefer a DIGEST version of this list (several posts in one email rather than each post as it is sent): UNSUBSCRIBE from the list, email MATLOCK-D-request@rootsweb.com writing the word SUBSCRIBE in the message body.
