Thank you Sam, and as Wanda indicated that Rial appears to be the son of Absolom.. The Rial that Im wondering who his parents are Has very little info on him.. All that I have seen is that he first appears on a tax list in 1805 Roane Co TN. 1806 in Roane Co Rial married Nancy Mahan...1807 he is jailed in the Hamilton Dist area, 1809 he is on a Roster in Rhea Co TN 1810 he is on a Petition which was taken from Giles Co TN.. a Berry Matlock was on that list as well.. (Brothers perhaps?) 1811 he shows up in Pendelton Co SC on Vagrancy Trials... The last on him is in 1816 and it indicates that Rial escasped from the County Jail in Robertson Co TN. LETTERS OF THE TENNESSEE GOVERNORS JOSEPH MCMINN 1815 - 1821 (Part 1 ) Cheatham, Anderson 1816 Springfield, TN States that Rial Medlock, convicted of burglary has escaped from the Robertson County jail and requests that a proclamation be issued for his capture. Whether he was captured or not I dont know... So that leaves us with.... Is Rial the son of Moore, and did Absolom name his son Rial after his brother? And who was the Berry that Rial was with in Giles Co TN? I have to guess that it isnt the Littleberry that married Phoebe Tharp that was in Wilson Co or Rutherford Co at that time.. According to Shawns site .. STEPHEN, married 1811 Wilson Co., Tn. Sarah Thompson. Littleberry Matlock surety. A Stephen listed as soldier of Indian Wars from Ala. probably same man. Apparently closely related to Littleberry, Charles and Zachariah. Littleberry and Zachariah married in Wilson and went to Alabama.... In 1815 Littleberry still in Wilson Co TN married Phoebe Tharp.. and according to the application that Pheobe applied for stated that " her said husband was drafted on or about the month of Sept. AD One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen in Retherford County, State of Tennessee for the term of three months, that he actually served in said war for the term of three months and was honorably discharged in the month of Nov. AD One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fourteen in Retherford County in the State of Tennessee" So was the Berry Matlock that was in the Giles/Limestone Co AL area.. LB son of Moore, father of Rial, Brother of Rial, Or was it LB son of William of 02 77 (years old now) Or was he LB son of LB?
