While the English origins
of the MATTHEWS are uncertain, it is probable that he may be descended from one
of the numerous MATTHEWS families in the counties of
Nuncupative Will of RALPH
MATTHEWS
Registered
An account of what RALPH
MATTHEWS gave his three children before his departure to each: one bed and
bedstead, to each six pewter dishes, to each one [an] Iron pot, to each one [a]
frying pan, to each one a dozen of spoons, to each two por-ringers?, to one a
skinner, to the next a flesh fork, and the other a ladle, and that had the lade
to give her one salt tiller to equalize the skinner and flesh fork, and this he
did desire. Should be at his wife's disposing till they come of age to ____ it
themselves, furthermore he did desire that Col. Smith or his sonne Arthur Smith
to take some care that this which he gave his children may not be imbezled and
for the children be defrauded of it, and furthermore that his wife should have
the remainder herself paying his debts out of it. This RALPH MATTHEWS desired
as we have set our hands and hereunto to take notice of as to be his Will. Col
Smith being present at that time, it being some two days before his death.

HUGH MATTHEWS first appears
in the records of Isle of Wight County, Virginia on March 16, 1715, when he and
his wife MARTHA conveyed 50 acres on branches of Blackwater River to JOHN
JOHNSON for 500 pounds tobacco, it being land left to MARTHA MATTHEWS by her
father JOHN JOHNSON's will.
HUGH MATTHEWS patented 100
acres on the South side of the Nottoway River adjoining the Nottoway Indians on
March 23, 1715 for the importation of Timothy Times and his wife Elizabeth
Times
On March 24, 1725, he
obtained another patent of 20 acres on both sides of Angelica Swamp in Isle of
Wight County for the sum of 5 shillings.
HUGH MATTHEWS was appointed
an appraiser of the estate of Henry Townsend in an order dated Jan. 25,
1728/29. The appraisal was returned to court by MATTHEWS, Thomas Pursell,and
William Blake for registry on Jan. 27, 1728.
HUGH MATTHEWS did not have
any further land transactions until July 17, 1738, when he sold a water mill
and land of unspecified acreage on Angelica Swamp for 5 shillings to James
Ridley. Witnessed by son-in-law Gilbert Mac Kenny and John Brewer, the deed was
also signed by MARTHA MATTHEWS
HUGH MATTHEWS wrote his
will in Southampton County, Virginia [officially formed in 1749] on November 7,
1747, witnessed by Daniel Sebree, Thomas Pursell, and George Stephens(on). It
would appear that his wife MARTHA had predeceased him, for his will left
legacies to his then wife ANN MATTHEWS.
The lengthy will of HUGH
MATTHEWS, which makes reference to four sons, five daughters, five grandsons,
and at least three deceased children, was submitted for probate on September
12, 1751.
Newitt Drew, Timothy Thorp,
and James Jones appraised HUGH MATTHEW's estate at 72 pounds, 11 shillings, and
5 pence in an inventory dated Oct. 13, 1751.12 On Feb. 3, 1753, James Ridley,
Timothy Thorp, and James Jones examined the estate and returned an account
showing expenses of 39 pounds, 9 shillings, and 4 pence. Their account was returned
to court for registry on March 8, 1753.13 Issue:
1. RALPH MATTHEWS. He
apparently died intestate before Nov. 7, 1747 in Isle of Wight County, VA. His
son RALPH MATTHEWS received a legacy of land on Angelica Swamp in the will of
HUGH MATTHEWS.
2. JOHN MATTHEWS. He died
prior to Aug. 27, 1739, when his widow MARTHA MATTHEWS returned an appraisal of
his estate into Isle of Wight County Court [Isle of Wight Co., VA Will Book 4,
p. 237].
3. JOSEPH MATTHEWS. He was
born about 1710-15, and married ELIZABETH, perhaps the daughter of JOHN
STEVENSON and CATHERINE WIGGS. On Oct. 15, 1753, he sold 150 acres on the South
side of Three Creeks to John Brewer [Southampton County, VA Deed Book 2, p. 7].
He and his family were residing in Edgecombe Co., NC prior to July 13, 1764,
when he conveyed two tracts of 275 acres and 691 acres on the North side of
Swift Creek to Isaac Hilliard [Edgecombe Co., NC Deed Book C, pp. 296, 297]. He
removed to old Cumberland County (now Harnett County) after 1771. His will was
probated in Cumberland County in January, 1791.
4. WILLIAM MATTHEWS. He is
probably the WILLIAM MATTHEWS, who with wife ELIZABETH sold 200 acres in
Edgecombe Co., NC to James
5. EDWARD MATTHEWS. He died
in Southampton County, VA prior to Aug. 12, 1762, when an account of estate was
returned to Southampton County Court [Southampton County Will Book 1, p. 513].
6. BENJAMIN MATTHEWS. He
apparently migrated to Edgecombe County, NC with his brothers JOSEPH and
WILLIAM. He bought 200 acres on the North side of Swift Creek in Edgecombe
County, NC on Aug. 19, 1746 [Edgecombe Co., NC Deed Book 3, p. 7]. He died
intestate prior to September Court, 1762, when his daughter PHEBE MATTHEWS was
granted administration of his
estate. His estate was sold
Oct. 9, 1762, and account of sale was returned to court in January Court, 1763
[Watson, "Estate Records of Edgecombe Co., NC," Durham, NC: Seeman
Printery, Inc., 1970, p. 176].
7. [Daughter] MATTHEWS. She
married SOLOMON STEVENSON, Sr., and apparently had died prior to Nov. 7, 1747.
Her son "SOLOMON STEPHENSON, Jr." was bequeathed land on James Branch
in the will of HUGH MATTHEWS.
8. MARY MATTHEWS. She
married _____ THORP. No Data.
9. SARAH MATTHEWS. She
married first GILBERT MAC KENNY, whose estate was appraised by Timothy Thorpe,
Henry Rose, and James Jones, and returned by SARAH MAC KENNY on July 10, 1746
[Isle of Wight Co., VA Will Book 5,p.26]. It is highly probable that she
married secondly, SOLOMON STEVENSON, Sr. (her deceased sister's husband) prior
to August 31, 1750 [Southampton
Co., VA Will Book 1, p.
109].
10. MARTHA MATTHEWS. She
married SOLOMON NEWSOM, son of Thomas Newsom
and Elizabeth (Crafford)

Wight County, VA on April 22, 1746. They removed to Brunswick Co., VA as early
as 1752, and to Wilkes Co., Georgia by 1777. An inventory of his estate was
taken in Wilkes County, Georgia on Dec. 4, 1795 ["The Newsom Family"
by B. C. Holtzclaw, in "Genealogies of Virginia Families," Volume 4, p.
518].
11. HESTER MATTHEWS. She
married WILLIAM JOHNSTON, son of
County, VA. They sold James
Porch 50 acres on Gum Branch and George's Branch in Southampton Co., VA on May

In Reply to: Mat(t)hews of
North Carolina by John Matthews of 2800
Mat(t)hews, Mat(t)hews,
Mat(t)his of Gates County, NC all likely descended from Hugh Mathews of
Southampton County, Va. and possibly from his wife Martha Johnson (believed to
have been a great grandaughter of Ancient Planter and John Johnson of
Jamestown.) Hugh Mathews believed to have been son of the Ralph Mathews who was
transported to Westmoreland County, Va. by Wm Drummond who received land grant
in Westmoreland County, Va. in 1658. Hugh Mathews purchased 850 acres in Isle
of Wight County, Va. on credit from William Cooke in 1667. In 1671, William
Cook, being owed money (or tobacco) was granted and "extent" against
the lands of Hugh Mathews in Isle of Wight County, Va. no other estate of Hugh
mathews being found there. In 1675 Hugh mathews was still in Westmoreland
county as he was listed as a judgement debtor there of Rotterdam, Holland
creditors represented in Virginia by agent Alexander Dolaphanie. In 1679, Col.
Arthur Smith of Isle of Wight County, Va. who was possibly a relative or in-law
of Ralph Mathews was granted land in Isle of Wight county for the transport of
numerous persons there, including Ra.& Hugh Mathews. Ralph Mathews died in
Isle of Wight Co, Va. 1687 leaving a widow Alice. His nuncupative will, made in
the presece of Col. Arthur Smith, who may have been a relative of he or his
wife, asked Col. Smith or his son Arthur to oversee Ralph's three unnamed,
underage children, two of whom were surely named Edmund and Ezekiel. Hugh
Mathews (presumably an older son of Ralph Mathews) died in Southampton County,
Va. which was formed from Isle of Wight in 1747, sometime between the date of
his 1747 will and his 1750 inventory date. He was still married to wife Martha
Johnson as late as 1730, but she apparently died before him and he remarried
Ann---? who was his co-executor. Hugh Mathews had sons named John, Ralph,
Joseph, Edward,
The Johnsons and Johnstons
of Corrowaugh in Isle of Wight County by Eddis Johnson, 1979.In the book it
states that Hugh was believed to be a widower when he married Martha. Presumably the son of Ralph and Alice
Matthews.

In Reply to: Re:
Hi, I have this information
on Martha Johnson. Martha Johnson, most likely the daughter of John Johnson,
the elder, and first wife Mary, was born in Isle of Wight County, Virginia
about 1688. Her father, in his will made in Isle of Wight County on January 7,
1703/04, and probated on August 9, 1707, bequeathed "to my daughter
Martha, 50 acres of land, half the household goods at Blackwater, and one shilling
in lieu of any part in her stepmother's estate." By 1715, she had married
On March 18, 1715/16, Hugh
Mathis and Martha Mathis of the Upper Parish deeded to John Johnson of the
Lower Parish for 500 pounds of tobacco, 50 acres on the branch of Blackwater
adjoining said John Johnson that had been left to said Martha in her father
John Johnson's will dated January 7, 1703/04; witnessed by Henry Sanders,
Arthur Smith, and John Watts. Martha predeceased her husband, Hugh, after which
he married Ann (?).

In Reply to: Re: Mat(t)hews
of North Carolina by Mary Faith Labor Matthews
Re: John Mathews. Again,
obviously one of the older sons of Hugh Mathews. John Mathews had a son named
William who I believe came to be referred to as William Mathias in Gates
County, N.C. Volume 3, No.1, p.126 of Hathaways Register mentions William
Mathews and John Mathews in Gates County, N.C. as witnesses to a conveyence of
real estate from
Aaron (Mathews?) to Amos
Blanchard on Nov. 10, 1736. Hugh Mathews son John Mathews also had another son
besides his son William. The other one was named Jonas. Hugh Mathews 1747 will,
recorded in Southampton County, Va. mentioned him as Jonas, son of John Mathews
(deceased). John "Mathias" will was recorded in Perquimans County,
N.C. in April 1748 mentioning his son William and a wife Elizabeth. William
"Mathias" died testate in Gates County in 1798. (I believe his
executor was Kedar Ballard, who was an officer in the 3d N.C. Regiment during
the Revolutionary War.) This William "Mathias" who died in 1798 also
had a son named William.
Thats about all I know
about Ralph and John, sons of Hugh Mathews and their descendants. I was very
interested to read that your husband is descended from Hugh Mathews son and
co-executor Joseph, who I know settled on Swift creek in what was at that time
Edgecombe County but may be Nash County today. I'm descended from Hughs son
William Mathews who got embroiled in a legal wrangle in the Southampton Courts
with Hughs last wife and co-executor Ann Matthews. He apparently illegally held
on to some assets that he was supposed to have surrendered after his fathers
death. She sued him and he immediately absconded to North Carolina, purchasing
200 acres on the S. side of Fishing Creek in Edgecombe County in 1753. Hughs
son

Notes for WILLIAM MATTHEWS:
The chain bearer named
William had grown to maturity and sold all of his own Edgecombe County land by
1771. He moved first to nearby Bute County (present day Warren and Franklin
Counties) and after that was awarded a land entry in Duplin County in 1779.
It is absolutely clear that
the William Mathews who entered the 250 acres in Duplin in 1779 was the same
man as the NC Continental soldier of that name who was either killed in action
or died in the line of duty at some time during the war.....
