I have recently become the family genealogist for my side and my husbands side of the family. In doing so I work on one surname for awhile until I get frustrated then I wander off and do another one, This month I am buried in the Smith side of my family and my current wall is John Westly Matlock b. February 11, 1838 in Highland, Madison Co., MO I found today all the lovely information on the Matlocks on the web, unfortunately this John is only barely mentioned if at all and usually with a few big question marks around him. I was beginning to wonder if I had any of the right information. All my information is from the Moore Family Bible and oral history from the Smith Family. This is the information I have, maybe someone out there can help me link this guy to the other Matlocks. John Westly Matlock b. February 11, 1838 in Highland, Madison Co., MO d. Sept 28, 1916 (Wasco Co, OR. ?) m. Oct 12, 1864 Moniteau, MO Sarah Jane Moore (Jennie) b. October 1 1843 Norwich, MA d. April 1893 (Wasco Co., ?) 1. Viola Matlock b. September 01, 1865 MO 2. John Perry Matlock b. June 1867 MO 3. Louis L. Matlock b. June 30, 1869 MO 4. Daisy Ella Matlock b. October 07, 1877 Summerville, Siskiyou Co., CA 5. Rufus Matlock b. May 1880 (The Dalles Wasco Co.) OR Daisy Ella married Thomas Jefferson Smith (b. October 11, 1868 Greene Co., IA d. May 05, 1937 The Dalles Wasco Co., Oregon) on October 24, 1896 in Walla Walla, WA. They had 9 children. According to family oral history, The family moved in covered wagon from Mo to Northern CA around 1870-ish, Grandma Daisy is remembered by my husband (b 1957), he thinks it was her anyway, telling him about her early life as a settler, it is part of his growing up memories. No one knows when she finally died, and I can't find an obit. ------=_NextPart_000_002B_01C41E79.44648150 Content-Type: text/x-vcard; name="Julie Smith.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Julie Smith.vcf" BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:2.1 N:Smith;Julie FN:Julie Smith TEL;HOME;VOICE:360-882-5337 TEL;CELL;VOICE:360-281-9054 ADR;HOME:;;;Vancouver;WA;98682;USA LABEL;HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Vancouver, WA 98682=0D=0AUSA BDAY:19651006 EMAIL;PREF;INTERNET:smitty1006@comcast.net EMAIL;INTERNET:smitty1006@comcast.net REV:20040410T042606Z END:VCARD ------=_NextPart_000_002B_01C41E79.44648150--
