Surnames: Mattox Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GWB.2ACE/193.1.1 Message Board Post: I wish I had the answers. There are pieces of the puzzle in Logan County, OH but I haven't unraveled it. Thomas Mattocks married Nancy Tabor in 1833 in Knox County, OH.. There was also a Nancy Mattox who married a William Tuttle in 1833 in Knox County, OH. Could they have been brother and sister? Land records track Thomas from Knox to Logan County where he deeded land to his son, Samuel. There were also Peter(whose records confirm him to be from PA), Henry, Joseph and Jacob Mattox. These would be same generation as Samuel; but I don't find any land records from Thomas to them. There is a Susan Ross that he transferred land to. We know that Thomas was in Muskingum Co. in 1827; in Knox Co. in 1833; in Logan Co. by 1838. Then the 1850 Franklin Co. census states that he was from PA. Abstract from his will (signed June 7, 1852 - proven August 30, 1854) mention his wife, Nancy Mattix; heirs: Nancy, Hety, Sally, Diana--and daughter Abigail. I have an e-mail stating that a Sussanah Mattox married Reese G. Ross in 1830 in Knox Co. in 1830, then moved that same year to Logan County. Her parents were said to be Robert Mattox and Elizabeth Coffey. 1850 census had a John Mattox (age 64) living with them. This e-mail information was from someone tying Joseph Mattox into the same family. Does any of this information sound familiar to you? Would love to find a solution -- this is the family I care the most about and have the least information on! Would appreciate any information you can share.
