Jimmy, regarding trying to find out if M.J. MATLOCK was son or was not a son of Henry Matlock and Charlotte Elizabeth WILKINS. MAPLE SPRINGS CEMETERY, HeCoTn Matlock, M. J., Feb. 20, 1870-Oct. 13, 1958 Matlock, Jennie, Oct. 3, 1869-June 27, 1943 Perhaps an easy way to find out, and with minimum cost, is to email the volunteers in the Tennessee Room at the Jackson/Madison Co. TN library. email address: tnroom@aeneas.net and ask the Tennessee Room if they have microfilm of "The Lexington Progress" for 13 OCT 1958 (year M.J. MATLOCK DIED) If they have the microfilm, ask for lookup of obituary of M.J. MATLOCK. It costs around $3.00, as I recall to get a copy. His obituary may state who was the father of M.J. MATLOCK. If they don't have microfilm for "The Lexington Progress", then ask for look up in the "Jackson Sun" newspaper. Sometimes obituaries for people who died in HeCoTn appear in the "Jackson Sun" newspaper. As long as you are asking, ask Tennessee Room to check funeral home records that they have. The reason I suggest you email the Jackson/Madison Co TN library is because the Everett Horn Library in Lexington, Henderson Co. TN, doesn't do lookups. The Everett Horn Library has microfilms for most years of "The Lexington Progress." If Jackson/Madison Co TN library doesn't find anything, ask if they have death index for Tennessee for 1958. Death index might give you the TN county in which M.J. MATLOCK died. With the county, you can try for a death certificate. To obtain a death certificate for M.J. MATLOCK, you need to know where he died. You could take a guess of Henderson Co. TN and then telephone the Courthouse in Lexington, TN, vital records dept, to ask if there is a death certificate for him. The Courthouse staff may or may not tell you over the telephone due to recent security laws passed on obtaining death certificates by the U.S. Congress. Even if you write the Courthouse, you may not be able to obtain a death certificate unless you can show proof that you are a relative of M.J. MATLOCK. Good luck. Linda
