Joe and Brenda, To muddy the waters a little further. This is my view. Here is the 1850 census for Luke Matlock Jr. There is no E. D born 1832. There is no Absolom born 1846. If Absolom was born in 1846 surely he would be on the census for 1850 and 1860; unless the census taker made two errors. E. D. might have left home already by the time the 1850 census was taken. 1850 TN, Humphreys Co, Hu-96-118 Luke Matlock, 44,TN; Eleanor 43 TN; John 19, William 16, Ellyann 12, Edward 9, Elzabeth 4, Thomas 1, Luke Matlock 84 --- William C Matlock married Mary Ann Choate 9-12-1855 (9-13-1855) in Dickson Co, TN .. Not Humphrey Co.. The first date is the date the licenses was issued; the second date is the date the marriage was solemnized. ---- I do not find a marriage for Edward Morgan Matloc or E M or Morgan Matlock in the TN marriages. Did they marry elsewhere? --- Joe, I also have that Ned is son of Smith but don't know where I came up with this conculsion (probably another correspondent bedore I kept better notes).. But, I have found others that believe that Smith might be son of Luke Sr. instead of the John Wesley you mentioned as son of Moore. I have several John W.'s but only have one John Wesley. The John Wesley that I have is chold of David Matlock and Nancy Agnes Lee who was born 1820 in IN and died after 1883 place unknown. I have that the Smith that was born 1811 that had a son John W. This John W. was born about 1844 and that his spouse might be a Laura ?? --- Are there more than 2 Smith Matlock's? Looking at the 1850 census I find that there is a Smith in Perry Co.. Smith Mattock 25, Letsy 22, Luke 2/12... Who does this one belong to?
