Searching for the parents of Hezekiah Matthews, b. 1814 NC, and/or Rebecca Matthews, b. 1828 NC who married in Surry, NC on 26 SEP 1846. According to the marriage bond, Hezekiah was a "junior." The 1850 census for Surry County, South Division, shows Hezekiah Matthews, b. 1814 NC and Rebecca, b. 1828 NC. In the same county, there is another Hezekiah Matthews, b. 1821 NC with wife Martha, b. 1818 NC. According to posts on the Jester Family forum, the Hezekiah Matthews, b. 1821, who married Martha Davis, was also a "junior", the son of Hezekiah Matthews, b. abt 1790 and Rachel, and grandson of James Matthews, b. abt 1762 and Winnie Dean. The 1840 NC census lists only two Hezekiah Matthews, both living in Surry County next door to one another. The first was born 1770-1780, and the second, 1820-1825, presumably those listed in the paragraph above. John Matthews, b. 1810-1820 was living next door to them, probably another son of this Hezekiah Sr. The 1830 census in Surry lists only one Hezekiah Matthews, b. 1770-1780, with sons the age of this Hezekiah, Jr. and John. The 1830 census in the North District of Orange, NC lists a Kisiah Matthews, b. 1810-1820 with a female in the household of the same age, and no children. Wayne Till

Mr. Till, I am sorry but all the records of persons before 1850 (when we became Yadkin County but earlier were a part of Surry County) are located in Surry County. We have no way to research those born in 1814 and 1828. I wish we could help with your search.
