Lisa Getting to the easy stuff first....go to Rootsweb.com and look for the page on research lists. I recommend joining two one for MATLOCK and one for MEDLOCK. I would suspect in your case that a review of the archieves for MATLACK might be of some help to you. You can sort through the archives and find a lot of information. As Jacob seems to have died there then I would bet that this Neamiah is the one It would be nice to make that connection. Stay in Touch Joe Matlock.
