Matlock, no birth date or wife, with children listed as: Elizabeth B., Louellen b 1849, William Lane b. 1851, Mary R., b.1852, Sarah Ann b. 1855, Caswell G. b. 1859, and West Tennessee b. 1861. I have no other information on them. Has anyone figured out who Elijah Matlock in MO belongs to. I originally had him connected to William and Catherine Sever Matlock. He is now just hanging around on his own. I am trying to get all my ducks in a row but they keep taking off in different directions.....HELP!!
