Matilda was born 06-04-1805 and died 01-08-1864 In Randolph County, Virgina (Now West Virginia). She had five children, all illegitimate with the last name of Ware, William M. born in 1830, Amanda V. born 1831, Eugenius M born 1834, Hiram K born 1836 and George R born 1842, all born in Virginia. Matilda later married Moses Arbogast in 1854. Tradition says he was the father of her children. This is about all I have on Matilda, hope it helps. Linda
