Brenda I think you are right on target. There should be three Matlock boys who are the area Jesse (who I have nothing further on) John who marries a "Nancy Will" and Nathaniel...Any of then are a possible link. The John dying in 1718 is born 1638. Joe Matlock >>> <BA044@aol.com> 5/7/2004 8:40:09 PM >>> Im looking at Melba Woods Book.. My Maternal Ancestry II she This was dated 1987 She has that John Matlock Sr died Jan 6 1718 She gives no birth date for him ... WHICH WE KNOW AS JOHN MADOX I REALLY DONT THINK HE WAS OURS... Any way she the shows John JR. having children George.. William born 1702-1768 married 1 Beulah Rice 2nd Eliz Sevier.. and John Jr III nicholas and Moore THERES A NOTE next to Moore that says Cant prove. She started her work in 1958/9 One thing of interest she says that John son of William 02 who married Judith Witt.. had a son John Jr... Both go to Henry Co VA to Burke Co NC , in 1790 John Sr and Jr are in Greenville Co SC.. MAKES ME WONDER WITH SAM AND JOES DNA MATCH.. IS SAM GOING TO COME FROM THAT JOHN WHO MARRIED JUDITH WITT GIVING JOE AND SAM THE SAME GREAT GRANDPA WILLIAM OF 02? She goes on to say "Did this family go to Laurens Co to Georgia and Kentucky and to Missour. 1790 MEDLOCK JOHN Greenville County SC 070 Ninety-sixth District 2-3-5 1790 MEDLOCK JOHN Greenville County SC 070 Ninety-sixth District 1-1-4 1790 MEDLOCK LUKE Greenville County SC 068 Ninety-sixth District 1-2-2 I WONDER IF THIS LUKE IS SON OF WILLIAM 02 OR IS HE A SON OF JOHN AND JUDITH PERHAPS? 1800 MATTACKS JOHN Laurens District SC 015 00000-00000-00 I DONT HAVE ENOUGH GEORGIA RECORDS TO SAY IF JOHN AND JUDITHS BUNCH WENT TO GA....
