Yeah I think so..here is Preston Joe Matlock Descendants of Preston Matlock Generation No. 1 1. PRESTON11 MATLOCK (JAMES PRESTON JIM10, JAMES JASON9, JAMES JASON8, MOORE7, )was born 16 July 1858 in Barry County, Missiouri, and died 01 October 1934 in Barry County, Missiouri. He married SALENDA BAIRD 31 December 1876 in Barry County, Missouri, daughter of JOSIAH BAIRD and MARY MOORE. She was born 05 July 1855 in Freistatt, Lawrence County, Missouri, and died 27 April 1931 in Verona, Lawrence County, Missouri. Notes for PRESTON MATLOCK:In 1880 this family is living in Barry County, Texas. Children of PRESTON MATLOCK and SALENDA BAIRD are: i. MAUD12 MATLOCK, b. 1877. ii. JOHN MATLOCK, b. 1880. iii. NORA MATLOCK, b. 1883. iv. PRESTON MATLOCK, b. 1888. >>> <BA044@aol.com> 3/11/2004 12:58:11 PM >>> I think I got it.... the Obit of Martha Matlock Sooter that "Mrs. Sooter was a cousin of Mrs. ?. P. Mitchell and Preston Matlock of this city, and her husband M.M. Sooter was a cousin of W. H. Brown, living north of this city.Exeter, Calif." I think perhaps that James Matlock who was in Barry Co MO by 1870, ( I wasnt able to find them in 1860)... Is the James we find in Polk Co TN 1850.. Son of Jason Jr RIGHT? Therefore... James and More are brothers making Martha and Preston Cousins... and So Martha Matlock dau of More and Rachel married Edward Sooter... 1850 MATLOCK JAMES Polk County TN 209 2nd Civil District James Matlock 21 WM Farmer TN Catherine 21 WF TN Sarah Jane 4 WF TN 1870 MATLOCK JAMES Barry County MO 668 Flat Creek James Matlock 39 MW TN Farmer Mary A. 26 FW TN Hannah 14 FW TN Peston 12 MW TN Elmira 8 FW TX 1880 MATLOCK PRESTON Barry County MO Flat Creek 5-37 Preston Matlock Head WM 22 M TN TN TN Farmer Linda Wife WF 21 M AR TN TN Maud Dau WF 3 S MO TN AR John Son WM 3/12 S MO TN AR 1900 MATLOCK PRESTON Barry Co MO Flat Creek Twp 77 Preston Matlock Head WM July 1858 41 M 22 Years GA TN GA Farmer Salinda Wife WF July 1855 44 M 5/4 AR TN TN Nora Dau WF Feb 1885 15 S MO GA AR Charles Son WM Oct 1888 11 S MO GA AR 1920 MATLOCK PRESS Barry County MO 10-9 Press Matlock Head WM 62 M TN TN TN Farmer Cl???
