I first met Marie in 1985 She was living in Pima Az where she died May 27 1995. I recall calling her home one day finding a disconnected # ... I know she was ill and figured she was either in a Hospital or Convalescent Home No longer to care for her self.. Through the PC era I was later to be in contact with Maries Granddaughter who has Maries records.. But to my knowledge hasnt gone through them, as well as Winnie Bailey who also was in touch with Marie.. I Know that Marie and Melba Woods were connected through this IL bunch, but at this moment cant tell you exactly how.. Maries line was.. William and Eunice Thurston Matlock of IL... George W and Sarah Emma Hume Matlock, Levi F Matlock and HH Pennington, to Levi Edgar Matlock and Cath Dougherty Marie stated that there were 2 Men on the 1820 and 1830 Census that could be the father of her William, but she doesnt mention the State... Marie also claimed that she was from Nicholas of Rowan/ Burke Co NC... She had his children as, Hescott, Nathaniel, Elijah, Henry, John, Richard, James for this Nicholas.. At one time Marie was looking at Elijah Hosea as the father.. of this group that went to ILL.. Another point she made was William was born in Buncombe Co NC.. If the Elisha in Wilson Co is one in the same, it might would explain the TN connection this group appears to have had ... For the Wives two of the brothers were from TN.. Brenda
