Box 1375 Gilmer, TX 75644 waynemsmith@juno.com Descendants of THOMAS MATLOCK 1 THOMAS MATLOCK b: 1795 Dickson Co TN . +SOPHIA ANN BOXLEY b: 1805 Jackson Co GA m: Abt. 1826 in TN ...... 2 [2] STEPHEN MATLOCK b: Abt. 1827 TN d: Abt. 1885 in Ark [the census record for 1880 has been researched carefully, but has not been located as of 7 May 2004.]......... Stephen resided in Falls & Erath Co TX, and had a new home built about 1878 near Hico, Hamilton Co TX. He migrated back to Arkansas about 1885, and died there the same year. +Mary1 [--?--] (Matlock) b: Abt. 1829 TN d: Bef. June 09, 1866 m: Abt. 1846 in TN? ............... 3 Caddo A.

I personally viewed the record in Marlin, Falls, TX. The original maiden surname of Martha appears on the marriage record to be Cloy or Slay, but is actually Clary/Cleary. ............... 3 [1] Thomas L.

The reason for the mistake in Erath county records is unknown. ............... *2nd Wife of [1] Thomas L. Matlock: ................... +M.J.
