Need anything on DICK and NANCY (NANNIE) JANE MATTHEWS who adopted GRACIE THOMAS from an ANNIE THOMAS in 1884 in tarrant co. TX. They were orig. from NY. Dicks mothers maiden name was JULIA SMITH and he had a sister, JULIANA. They are somehow connected to a LORA BELL SHAWVER who, at some point, lived in Clarenden, TX. When Dick entered the civil war he changed his name to DAVID McHERD for some unknown reason. Thanx Brigitte
