Would you please check and see if you can find a William Mathis b. 1813 or 1815 NC, in the 1850 Roane County, TN Census. His (second)wife is Mary "Polly" b. 1815 TN. His daughter Sarah Jane b. 1838 would be 12. This is my Great Grandmother. I'm trying to find the names to all their children. James was the oldest child and b. 1836. Thanks again for your help.
