As well as Jaspers mother Sarah??? As for Newton, it is assumed that he has now moved to Greenville Co SC and is listed as JW Medlock JW is living with Again assuming that Elizabeth is his mother, 1860 MEDLOCK J. W.

They had to have married after Dec of 1850 and 2nd Mary? (Newton is married three time his last child being born only 6 years before his death. Here is what I have on him: 1. NEWTON JASPER1 MATLOCK was born 1831 in Greeneville, Laurens County, South Carolina, and died 01 December 1920 in Mayesville, Green County, Arkansas or Mayesfield Craighead County, Arkansas. He is buried in the Woods Chapel Cemetery, Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas.. He married (1) EMMELINE AMANDA HILL 1848 in Laurens County, South Carolina ?. She was born 1831 in Laurens County, South Carolina, and died 1865 in Laurens County, South Carolina. He married (2) NANCY ELIZABETH FANT 1870.

He is listed on the Laurens, SC. 1880 census: Occupation: Farmer Newton was buried December 02, 1920 at the Woods Chapel Cemetery in Paragould, Greene, AR. Newton's marker is either buried or indecipherable from weathering as to make it unlocatable." (This notation would seem to resolve the site of his death. It is also the only mention of his mother's name I have seen. JWM) More About NEWTON JASPER MATLOCK: Military service: War Bewteen the States PVT Enlisted 20 Mar 1862 at Tomotley in Co.
