Ref: Book 52, AGO Pages 46 and 47." Source is "ROSTER OF VERMONTERS WHO SERVED IN THE WAR OF 1812-14", I have a Roswell MATOON who married Rebecca GORDON in Vershire Jan 12, 1830. Was he any relative of Philip? My recollection is that the MATOONs are an interesting old Rhode Island family. Am I correct? Many thanks. Alice Gordon
