DO you know what happened to him & his family in 1870 & 1890? I can't find a record of them. Have you ever heard the story about his having a second family that was black? I assume you part of this line - ? I am the granddaughter of Edwin Matthews who married Relda White. Thanks for your help - Lori in New Mexico
