In the event some of you have not found this site on the web, I offer you the suggestion of trying it....has patents and deeds for Early Matlocks. http://www.ultranet.com/~deeds/ click on the deed data pool I found patents for John Matlock and William on this site, also some other family names I am researching. Would be great if any of you would also share such found information or sites. Good Luck.... MJ in Fla
