Posted on: Laurens Co. SC Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/SC/Laurens/10252 Surname: MATHIS, MATHEWS, MATTHEWS ------------------------- I have not given up on finding where in SC my Mathis family came from, but I'm close...... James MATTHEWS (or other spellings) was b. 14 Oct 1814 in SC, moved to Forsyth Co GA by 1840 and died there in 1879.Any document that should have listed birth county in SC (cival war registration etc) was left blank, so I have the whole state to cover. I have found other Mathis/Matthews/Mathews families close by also from SC, anyone searching for these surnames that left SC between 1840-1860???
