Joe and all, I re-read my post this morning and I guess from reading my post that I believed that everyone believed as I do...LOL.. I don't have proof that William Matlock Sr. b. 1753/1755 was son of Moore. I wish that I did; and my statements were said like it was fact... But what I posted does seem the most logical to me... I've seen where others have had him as son of William b. 1702 but I can not make that connection either. I guess I thought that Moore and Jane named their first born after his father William b. 1702.... Since William b. 1753 went to TN around the same time as Moore it looked pretty good to me. My question!... Is their proof that William is son of William (1702)? Am I missing something? I know that my William & Sarah were in what is now Roane Co, TN before Jason and Moore moved there. I thought that maybe Jason followed his older brother then Moore followed.. Wanda
