>Dear Marie, It looks like Ellen and Mary Anne Matheson were both daughters of A. J. Matheson. Can you tell me the relationship between this A. J. Matheson and the A. J. Matheson b. ca. 1848 who was married to Sarah Ellen Jernigan. I am assuming the older A. J. was the grandfather of the other--but I don't know through what son (Julian J., Gustave Donald, James Kenneth, Alexander Deems??)? Can you tell me more? Many thanks. Larry Jones Just curious how you decided to post this obituary. Ellen Cromartie was my >husband's aunt. His mother is Mary Anne Matheson Lindsay from Bennettsville. > It was certainly a surprise to check my mail and find it. > >Marie Lindsay >Pawleys Island
