Joe You your latest message you asked about two things, (1) John Matlack and Ann Furguson, and (2) Joseph Matlack (Joseph, Joseph, William, George Matlock, John). I assume the Grandfather, William, is the William Matlack who came to New Jersey in 1677 and married Mary Hancock. First I will deal with Joseph since this is new ground. What I have on John Matlack and Ann Furguson is at the end. You were looking to see if Joseph's line lead to Joseph Matlack who married Julia Scott and had a son Joseph Scott Matlick. Joseph Matlack, son of William Matlack and Mary Hancock, was born in New Jersey, married Rebecca Haines, and moved to Goshen, Chester County, Pennsylvania in 1728. There is your Pennsylvania connection. Joseph and Rachel did have a son, Joseph, born 25 September, 1740. According to my information this Joseph died young. Both his birth date and the fact he died young say he could not have married Julia Scott and had a son Joseph born 7 March 1753. The documentation on the Haines family is excellent and agrees with my source on the Matlack family. The next time I am at the Gloucester County Historical Society I will look to see if I can find a Joseph Matlack who married Julia Scott in 1780. This is what I have on Joseph Matlack, son of William Matlack and Mary Hancock, and his wife Rebecca Haines. Descendants of Rebecca HAINES Generation No. 1 1.
