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 Devonshire and Cornwall.

SAULS_______MATTHEWS_______SAULS

 

by William Allen Matthews, Jr. (aka Bill Matthews)

 

Hugh Matthews, founder of our family in America, was likely the son of Ralph Matthews,

who died in August, 1687, leaving a wife Alice and three small children, unnamed in court

procedings following his death. Hugh may have been sent back to England and then brought

to Virginia in 1698 by Richard Covington, who was granted land on April 26th of that year

for importing 23 persons, including Hugh.(1) Hugh was granted 100 acres of land himself

on 23 March 1715, for importing other persons,(2) and purchased 200 acres from William

West on 23 July 1720 (2a), and was granted another 20 acres on 24 March 1725.(3) His land

was in Isle of Wight County, on the south side of the Nottoway River, on both sides of

Angelica Swamp, beginning at the line of the Nottaway Indians' land. As counties formed,

this land fell into Southampton County, Virginia. He could not have been the Hugh

Matthews who bought 850 acres of land in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, 17 June 1667

from William Cook (3a) as he would have had to have been over 100 years old at his death.

What relationship, if any, to the earlier Hugh remains to be discovered.

 

Hugh Matthews married Martha Johnson, daughter of John Johnson (c1663-1707) in 1715.

Various deeds listed Hugh's wife as Martha, including one in 1738. His will listed a wife

Ann. The will of Hugh Matthewes of County Southampton, Nottoway Parish, was dated 7

November 1747, and proved 12 September 1751.(4) Hugh's children, in no particular order:

 

1. Joseph Matthews (d.1791) m.1753 Elizabeth Stevenson; Edgecomb Co,

__ NC; after 1772 Cumberland Co, NC

 

2. Edward Matthews (d.1762) Southampton Co, VA

 

3. William Matthews (1710-1788) m. Frances Grewe (1704) Edgecomb Co,

__ NC, until 1772, then Cumberland Co, NC

 

4. Benjamin Matthews (d.1762), Edgecomb Co, NC., of whom later

 

5. John Matthews (d.1738) married Martha, Isle of Wight Co, VA

 

6. Ralph Matthews, died before 1747

 

7. Mary Matthews married John Thorp (1710-1772) Southampton Co VA

 

8. Sarah Matthews m(1) Gilbert McKenny m.1750 Solomon Stephanson

 

9. Martha Matthews m. Solomon Newsom (c1715-c1780) Granville Co, SC

__ 1752; St Pauls Pr. Georgia, 1774; Wilkes Co. GA, 1777

 

X. Hester (Ester) Matthews m. William Johnston, son of Benjamin;

__ sold iand in Va 1752, and was in Wilkes Co, GA, before 1787.

 

Y. Patience Matthews married Henry Johnson, son of James Johnston,Jr

__ and Rebecca Darden; grandson of James Johnston, son of John

__ Johnson of Isle of Wight, grandfather of Patience.

 

Z. Unknown Matthews m. Solomon Stephanson, and died before 1750

 

3. Unknown Matthews (may be one above) had son Aaron Matthews

 

Benjamin Matthews was granted land in Craven County, North Carolina, in 1739,(5) He

purchased additional land in 1746 (6) and 1760 (7) on the North Swift Creek where it

joined the mouth of Rocky River. This land was in the area that was Craven County until

it fell into Edgecomb County in 1741 and became Nash County in 1777. His neighbors

included William Matthews, Joseph Matthews and Abraham Sauls.(8) His children:

 

41. Phebe Matthews

 

42. Joel Matthews moved to Warren Co, GA, by 1800

 

43. Daughter Matthews

 

44. Benjamin Matthews (1748-1818) m. Mary Sauls; of whom later

 

Benjamin Matthews, son of Hugh, died shortly before 4 September 1762, at which time, the

administration of the estate was granted to his daughter Pheba Matthews, his widow being

unable to serve. (11) The inventory was made in September, sale in October,(12) and

report in January, 1763.(13) On 25 October 1763, William Matthews (uncle?) was appointed

guardian to the orphan Benjamin Matthews, (14) indicating that the widow had now died and

that young Benjamin was under the age of 21, and the youngest child. Benjamin witnessed a

deed 16 October 1774,(15) showing that he was at least 21 years old by that date. So he

was born between 1742 and 1753, consistant with a reported date of 1748.(16)

 

The exact nature of Benjamin's Revolutionary War service has not been established, but

the State of North Carolina paid him at least £207/5 in 1783 out of the Revolutionary

Army Accounts.(17) This may have been for military service or for furnishing a

considerable amount of supplies for the use of the army.

 

Abraham Sauls lived next to Benjamin Matthews, Sr. His granddaughter Mary married

Benjamin's son Benjamin about 1775. When Abraham died before May, 1771, his

granddaughter

Mary administered his estate.(10) It is not clear whether it was this Abraham who m.1 Dec

1762 Anna Screws or his son, but when he wrote his will in 1764, he gave his wife's name

as Ann. Known children of Abraham Sauls, Sr:

 

1. Abraham Sauls served as a Corporal in the South Carolina

__ Continental Regiment of Artillery from 1778 to 1782.(9) lived

__ in Darlington Co, SC until 1794. An Abraham Sauls bought land

__ in Warren Co, GA, 5 Mar 1803.

 

2. Absolam Sauls was a justice in Darlington Co, SC 1787

 

3. Lydia Sauls m.1766 Henry Screws

 

The Census of 1790, Nash County, North Carolina, lists Benjamin Matthews' family as

consisting of one male over age 16, 3 males under age 16, 4 females including his wife,

and one slave.(18) Benjamin's brother Joel Matthews lived nearby, and witnessed the deed

of the sale of a negro boy from James Blackwell to Benjamin Matthews on 30 March 1797, in

Nash County.(19) Benjamin and his wife Mary sold their land in Nash County 13 Nov

1797,(20) and his brother Joel sold his land in May, 1798.(21) A Benjamin Matthews

certified Harry G. Caldwell as a good citizen of Burke County, Georgia, April 16, 1795.

(21a)

 

Many of the descendants of Hugh Matthews, including Tharp, Johnson, McKinney, and Newsom

families, joined the migration to Georgia, settling in Wilkinson, Wilkes, and Warren

counties. An Arthur Matthews held land in Warren County in 1794, adjoining lands owned by

Tharp and Newsom.(22) Benjamin Matthews witnessed the deed when Joel bought land in

Warren County on 3 Dec 1800.(23) Benjamin Matthews drew land in Warren County in the Land

Lottery of 1805 and again in 1814.(24) This land appears to have fallen into Twiggs

County, as Benjamin is listed as owning 153 acres on Pine Creek in the Tax Digest of

1818.(25) Mary Sauls Matthews died in Warren County, Georgia in 1806. Benjamin then

married Rebecca Pierson Brown (b. 12 Dec 1772) on 6 Dec 1806.(26) She was the daughter of

Jeremiah Pierson, born about 1735 in New Jersey, died after October, 1829, in Monroe

County, Georgia.(27) Benjamin and Rebecca joined Stone Creek Baptist Church in Twiggs

County on 24 Narch 1810. (27a) The pastor was Rev. Vincent A. Tharp (Vincent T.

Allentharp 1760VA-1825, who moved to Georgia in 1784) Rebecca removed her membership 25

Oct 1823, and joined Emmaus Primitive Baptist Church in Upson County in 1838.

 

Benjamin died between March and October, 1818.(28) and reportedly on October 17,

1818.(16) "Rebecca Matthews, widow" drew land in the 1821 Land Lottery.(29) This land was

in the portion of Monroe County which fell into Upson County when it was formed in 1824.

The land was located east of Thomaston. Rebecca died 13 Dec 1846.(30)

 

Benjamin Matthews and Mary Sauls had nine children: (31,16)

 

1 John Matthews (1776-after 1860) m.7 Aug 1808 Mary (Polly)

Hugh Matthews arrived in the colonies in 1698. In the record of Cavaliers and Pioneers, he was transported by Richard Covington. He was granted 100 acres of land on March 23, 1715 and 20 acres on March 24, 1725 in the Isle of Wight County, Virgina. His land deeds were on the south side of Nottoway River and on both sides of Angelica Swamp. Later this land fell into what became Southampton, Virginia. In 1738, he sold the land.

 

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 Benton on Feb. 11, 1760 [Edgecombe Co., NC Deed Book OO, p. 138]. He bought 497 acres on both sides of Swift Creek in Edgecombe County from Ebenezer Folsom on Sept. 8, 1762 [Edgecombe Co., NC Deed Book I, p. 388]. He conveyed 70 acres on Swift Creek to Benjamin Smith on March 1, 1771 [Deed Book D, p. 447]. He is referred to as WILLIAM MATTHEWS of "Cumberland Co., NC" when he sold 200 acres on Myrey Branch on the North side of Swift Creek to John Jones on March 1, 1771 [Deed Book D, p. 429].

 

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) Newsom. SOLOMON NEWSOM and his wife had a real estate conveyance in Isle of 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 Benjamin and Mary Johnston of Isle of Wight County, VA. On May 10, 1752, he sold JOSEPH MATTHEWS 150 acres on Fork Branch in Southampton County [Deed Book 1, p. 328]. On May 11, 1787, WILLIAM and [H]ESTER JOHNSON of Wilkes Co., Georgia sold Jesse Cooper 75 acres south of Three Creeks in Southampton

County, VA. They sold James Porch 50 acres on Gum Branch and George's Branch in Southampton Co., VA on May 18, 1787 [Deed Book 7, p. 440; Deed Book 8, p. 10].

 

12. PATIENCE MATTHEWS. She married HENRY JOHNSON, son of James Johnson, Jr. and his wife Rebecca (Darden) Johnson ["Johnstons of Currawaugh" by Eddis Johnson and Hugh Buckner Johnston, 1979, p. 77].

I give and bequeath to my grandson JONAS MATTHEWS son of JOHN MATTHEWS deceased 200 acres of land lying on the East side of Angelica Swamp being part of a tract of land formerly taken up by Captain William West and now possessed by Edward Drew I say I give the said tract of land to him and the heirs of his body lawfully begotten. Item. I give and bequeath to my grandson RALPH MATTHEWS son of RALPH MATTHEWS a certain tract or parcel of Land lying on the East side of Angelica Swamp a survey lately made by Major James Baker the Contents not known at present I say I give the said land to him and his heirs. Item. I give and bequeath to my Grandson SOLOMON STEPHENSON a certain tract or parcel of land lying on James Branch bounded by Edward Drew's line and my own line the contents unknown at present I give the said Land to him and his heirs. Item. I give and bequeath to my two sons EDWARD MATTHEWS and WILLIAM MATTHEWS a new survey of Land lately made by me lying on James Branch and bounded by the Indians line and the branch commonly called the Indian Branch I say I give the said land to my said sons to be equally divided between them according to quantity and quality to them and their Heirs.

 

Emigration: ( from the net per Bill Matthews) Hugh was transported to the colonies in 1698 by a Richard Covington, who was granted 1091 acres in Essex County, VA. on April 26, 1698 for inporting 23 persons

 

Hugh left a bequest of land to his grandson Solomon, Jr. in his will of 1747 (probated 1751) .  the daughter, Solomon, Jr.'s mother, was evidently deceased by the time of her father's 17 47 will.  Solomon, Jr. was probably only a small child at the time of this bequest.  Solomon , Sr. was evidently married secondly by 1750 to Sarah (Matthews) McKinney, another daughter o f Hugh Matthews.  She was the widow of Gilbert McKinney, who was deceased in 1746.  Sarah i s called Sarah McKinney in her father's 1747 will.  She is mentined in the will of her mother -in-law Katherine (Wiggs) Stephenson in 1750, so she married Solomon, Sr. between 1747 and 17 50.  By Sarah, Solomon, Sr. had David Stephenson, John Stephenson, Olive Whittington, Sarah J ohnson White, Patty Langdon, and James Stephenson

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, Benjamin and William, some of whom died before him. See his will in Southampton County, Va. His sons Ralph and John were in North carolina, in the area that I believe later became Gates County, N.C. in 1718

 

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.

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 Hugh Matthews (or Mathews) who may have been a widower. Presumably he was a son of Ralph and Alice (?) Mathews. Hugh Mathews was probably one of three unnamed children mentioned in the will of Ralph Mathews on August 13, 1687, proved by Boaz Gwin and Robert Brock, and requesting Colonel Arthur Smith to serve as Overseer of said children. On October 21, 1687, the widow, Alice Mathews, qualified as executrix.

 

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 (?).

 

Hugh Matthews, in his will in Nottoway Parish of Southampton County on November 7, 1747, and proved on September 12, 1751, bequeathed (1) to grandson Jonas Matthews, son of the late John Matthews, 200 acres east of Angelica Swamp and occupied by Edward Drew; (2) to grandson Ralph Matthews, son of Ralph Matthews, a tract east of Angelica Swamp lately surveyed by Major James Baker; (3) to grandson Solomon Stephenson, a tract on James Branch adjoining Edward Drew; (4) to son Edward Matthews, half the new survey on James Branch and Indian Branch, and the use of the still; (5) to son William Matthews, half the same survey and use of the still; (6) to wife and executrix Ann Matthews, use of the home plantation, 2 cows with calves, black riding horse, saddle, bridle, feather bed and furniture, gift of a third of all cider and brandy, and negro Jack to be free at her death; (7) to son and executor Joseph Matthews, gift of the still, to live on the home plantation and to have it at his mother's death; (8) to grandson Jacob, son of Joseph Matthews, to have the home plantation after his father; (9) to daughter Mary Thorp, one shilling; (10) to daughter Sarah Mackenney, a fine duffell coat and one shilling; (11) to daughter Martha Newsom, one shilling; (12) to son Benjamin Matthews, one shilling; (13) to daughter Hester Johnson, one shilling; (14) to grandson Aaron Matthews, bed (?) and furniture, beaver hat, broadcloth coat, and a two-year heifer; and (15) to daughter Patience Johnson, one shilling; witnesses: Daniel Sebree, Thomas Pursell, and George (X) Stephens[on].[SJMatthews.FTW]

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 Benjamin had preceeded him in moving to Edgecombe County, having moved to the Swift Creek location in about 1747-1749. Hughs son Joseph also moved to the Swift Creek location, so I don't know why my ancestor William moved to the Fishing Creek area unless he was persona non grata to the rest of the family after the squabble in Southampton County; anyway, only he moved to the Fishing Creek location in Edgecombe while Joseph and Benjamin both moved to the Swift Creek area. (Hughs son Edward died in Southampton County, Va. in about 1760.)

       

Children of JOHN MATTHEWS and MARTHA UNKNOWN are:

17.              i.    WILLIAM " MATHIAS"4 MATTHEWS, b. Lived in Gates County, NC; d. 1798, Gates County, NC.

My interest is Hugh's son, Benjamin, and Benjamin's son, also Benjamin. Benjamin, Sr. was only given one shilling by his father’s will. However, in 1739 he was granted land in Edgecombe County, North Carolina. He also purchased additional land in 1746 and 1760 on the North Swift Creek where it joined the mouth of the Rocky River. This land became part of Nash County in 1777. 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]. Also owning land in this area were William and Joseph, as well as the family of Abraham Sauls, whose daughter Mary would marry Benjamin's son. Benjamin, Sr. died intestate shortly before September 4, 1762. The administration of his estate was granted to his daughter Phebe Matthews since his widow was unable to serve. An inventory was made in September, sold on October 9, 1762, and and accountof the sale was reported in January 1763. [Watson, "Estate Records of Edgecombe Co., NC," Durham, NC: Seeman Printery, Inc., 1970, p. 176]

On October 25, 1763 William Matthews, Benjamin's brother, was appointed guardian to the orphan Benjamin Matthews indicating that Benjamin, Sr's wife had most likely died and that son Benjamin was still under the age of 21; he was also likely the youngest child, since he is the only child for whom a guardian was appointed.

 

************************************************************************************************************

       The following  information came from James Matthews Liptrap, also a member of the mailing list. .. but errors in transcription are mine.

 

   When Benjamin (I) died in 1762, his wife was not able to administrator the estate and Pheba was given that job.  From indications, Benjamin (II) may have been about 13, since an uncle was appointed as his guardian in 1763 when he was described as an orphan.  In 1790, Benjamin (II) is now in Nash Co, NC.  His brother Joel lives nearby - he was a witness on the deed for the sale of a negro boy from James Blackwell to Benjamin.  On 13 Nov 1797 Benjamin and Mary sell their land.  In May, 1798 Joel also sell

 

     On 3 Dec 1800, Joel buys land in Warren Co and his brother Benjamin is a witness.  Benjamin draws land in the Land Lottery of 1805 and 1814 - which appears to have fallen into Twiggs Co.

13.  WILLIAM4 MATTHEWS (WILLIAM3, HUGH2, RALPH1) was born in Duplin County, NC.

 

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.....

Arthur "Mathis" was eventually awarded his pension for Revolutionary War service in 1841, with arrears........

                In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this the ninth day of September (A.D. 1853) one thousand eight hundred and fifty three.

From a Hugh Matthews post by Mary Faith Matthews

 

I haven't found my husband's Jacob Matthews in 1830.  He is no longer in NC

but is very  likely in Georgia since he married Lurany JOHNS  in  North

Georgia in 1833 and their oldest son Simon Matthews was born in North GA  in

1834.  Lurany is a seriously high brick wall and I ended up researching

JPHNSON MATTHEWS because in 1830, he is in Houston Co, GA and is a close

neighbor to Daniel JOHNS with a daughter in the right age to possibly be

Lurany.  Also , a few pages away is William Green Johns who is probably a

son of Daniel and Jacob and Lurany named a son William Green.  SO---I

researched cousin Johnson Matthews in hopes of him leading me to Jacob---he

didn't but here's what I have on Johnson.

stepbrother of Hardy Matthews.  Is it  coincidence that these Jinks brothers

and Johnson Matthews are close together in 1840??)

Notes for RHODA STEPHENSON:

[SJMatthews.FTW]

 

!Rhoda Carroll of Johnston County, North Carolina and later Dale County, Alabama was NOT th e daughter of Ebenezer Stevens and wife Rhoda Johnson.  this notion has been perpetuated fo r years in LDS records, but is completely erroneous.  Although Rhoda's name is Stevens on he r marriage bond, her maiden name was Stephenson (or Stevenson), which is proven by her Revolu tionary War Bounty Land Warrant Application in 1855 and Pension Application of 1858.  Rhoda S tephenson was the daughter of Solomon Stephenson, Jr. (b. about 1740-1745, d. before May 29 , 1781.  of Johnston County, North Carolina.  His wife was Anna "Nancy", and she was grante d administration of her husband's estate of May 29, 1781.  She was still living as of Augus t 30, 1791.  On May 31, 1784, the orphans of Solomon, Jr. were summoned into court to be plac ed under guardianship because "they have no estate to maintain them, and are in the possessio n of those who neglect their persons and morals and are utterly unable and unfit to bring the m up."  The orphans were Nazara, David, Sally, and Rhoda.

Notes for JACOB MATTHEWS III:

Jacob Jr. and Calvin, went to Alabama between 1832-1835 (birthdates of

children on census records), about the same time as members of the Lazarus

Matthews family.

 

The following data supports these assumptions:

 

1. The Archibald Sullivan Record Book (son-in-law of Joseph Lazarus

Matthews) states that Calvin Matthews, Alabama, was a cousin of Joseph

Lazarus Matthews.  That is all of the information given.  There is a Calvin

Matthews born in North Carolina that is the head of a household in the 1850

Census of Alabama.

 

2. Jacob Matthews Jr. married Rebecca Gilbert in Cumberland County 29 Feb.

1820.

 

3. Starting in 1823, some of the Jacob and Dorcas Matthews family show up in

the records of Johnston County where some of the children resided (Benjamin,

Zada, Jacob Jr.)

 In the Johnston County Court Records, Book 12, #8 on 4 February 1823

Phillip Johnson (uncle of Joseph Lazarus according to Arch. Sullivan Record

Book) sold land to Jacob Matthews Jr. which was proven by the oath of Jacob

Matthews Sr.  Also Richard Byrd sold land to Jacob Jr.

 

4. The 1830 Census of Johnston County page 109 shows:

Jacob Matthews family: Male (30-40 years); Female (40-50); 2 males (5-10); 1

male (under 5); female (90-100); female (5-10) and female (under 5). [note

that Jacob's wife is older that he is, as Rebecca is older than Jacob below]

 

Right below his family is the Benjamin Matthews family: Male (30-40); Female

(30-40); male (5-10); male (under 5); 2 females (5-10); and female (under

5).

 

Right below them is the Lazarus Matthews family:  Male (50-60); Female

(40-50); male (20-30); female (20-30); 2 males (15-20); male (10-15); male

(under 5); female (under 5).

 

5. 1840 Census of Dale County, Alabama.

Note: this census is very faint- the best quality copy of the original

census I found was at usgenweb- Coffee County, AL page.  Jacob and Calvin

are found on page 267b and 268b).

3, F, AL.

Other Matthews' in the County were from SC.

 

7. I believe Jacob and Calvin were brothers.  A daughter of Calvin, Dorcas,

is enumerated with Jacob's family in the 1860 census.

 

8. 1860 Census Coffee County, AL.

Page 847.  Jacob Matthews 65, M, Farmer, $2000 real estate, $600 personal

daughter).

personal estate, NC; Calvin 21, M, Farmer, Coffee Co. AL; Smithey 17, F,

Coffee Co., AL; Sarah 12, F, Coffee Co. AL.

 

9.  Benjamin Matthews (son of Jacob and Dorcas) had a daughter Smitha or

Smithey.  Isaac "Ica" Matthews, also had a daughter Smitha or Smithey.

Calvin has a daughter, Smitha or Smithey.  Calvin also named his oldest

daughter, Darcas or Dorcas after his mother?  Jacob and Rebecca possibly

named a child Gilbert after her maiden name?

 

Per Mark Valsame

It's interesting that Jacob Matthews (md. Rebecca Gilbert) had 2 sons born between 1820-1825 according to the 1830 Johnston County census, had removed to Alabama by 1835 (according to the census data of his children in 1850), and both of these criteria agree with traditions concerning James Henderson Matthews' background.  He allegedly came to North Carolina from "Alabama" (according to traditions related by his son, Mr. Simmons' grandfather), and his father was named Jacob (related by Mrs. Lector Langdon, d/o Guston P. Matthews and gd/o James Henderson Matthews).  If this connection is correct, it would mean that Eli Carter and James Henderson Matthews were first cousins, again a logical relationship for someone serving as bondsman.  None of this is positive proof, but it is compelling.

REFN: 329

MATTHIS/MATTHEWS/MATHIS FAMILY   7 84

The name is spelled in various ways. Available records indicated

that Edm ond, the pioneer settler, and the majority of his children

spelled the name M atthis. At least one of his children and several of his

grandchildren spelled it Mathis.

Edmond's father Ezekial could not write and signed by his mark. Th e

person who wrote Ezekial's will spelled it Mathews.

We have been told of a village in Wales, which we have been unable

to locate on a map, named Mathia s (pronounced Math'-yuss). The family

being of Welsh descent, it might be ass umed that they originated in this

area and that this Welsh name was corrupted into Matthis, Mathis and

Matthews. However, this is only an assumption, not based on any know

facts.

Over the years there have been controversies arisin g over the

correct spelling of the family name. We must conclude that the nam es

Mathis, Mathews, Matthis and Matthews are interchangeable.

Notes for DELANEY ADAMS:

According to my files, I know of two newspapers which carried brief obituary notices for Delaney Matthews.

 One is the Raleigh "State Chronicle" (Feb. 23, 1884 and March 1, 1884 editions):

Mrs. Matthews, wife of Reuben Matthews, killed by a cyclone, about February 20, 1884, in Harnett County.

A notice also appeared in the Raleigh "Farmer and Mechanic" (February 27,

1884 edition):

Mrs. Matthews, wife of Reuben Matthews, killed by a cyclone, February 19,

1884, near the Johnston-Harnett county line. The tornadoes which tore through Johnston and Harnett Counties, NC  in February, 1884 caused tremendous damage to many farms, and there were quite

a few deaths caused by this event.

68.  JACOB6 MATTHEWS (SIMON5, JACOB4, JOSEPH3, HUGH2, RALPH1)1482,1483,1484 was born July 03, 1806 in Cumberland County NC, and died 1888 in Jackson,  MS (Hinds County)1485.  He married LURANY JOHNS1486,1487,1488 September 12, 1833 in around Murray Ga.1489.  She was born January 16, 1816 in North Georiga, and died 1888 in Jackson,  MS (Hinds County)1489.

 

Notes for JACOB MATTHEWS:

All of the information on Jacob Matthews and all his children is copied from the family bible of Jacob Matthews and Lurany Johns.  Copy on file at the MS State Archives in Jackson Miss. The bible was in the possession of the granddaughter in law of John Cicero Matthews and a handwritten copy of the above info by her is also in my possession... Mary Faith Matthews

 

Jacob  headed to Georgia,  possibly  with dreams of striking it rich in the Gold Rush there in 1828.  Instead, he found a bride and started his family, then spent about 10 years in Alabama and then went on to Mississippi.  Jacob and Lurany and  six children are living on the plantation of William Spencer in Jackson, MS in 1850. Jacob is a mechanic.  I certainly would love to know what a mechanic did in 1850. Did he keep the cotton gins in good working order?  By 1860, Jacob is in Clinton, MS, outside of Jackson and working his own farm.   I understand ,in later years at least, that it was a large dairy farm and was

still in the family in the early 1900's. Jacob and Lurany had 11 children.  One baby, born in 1850, only lived a day.  All of the rest made it to adulthood, although they lost their second son, James Martin, during the Battle of Peachtree Creek outside Atlanta 20 July 1864.  The oldest son Simon was severely wounded in that battle.  Jacob and Lurany sent five sons off to fight for the Confederacy.  Neal Archibald, my husband's great grandfather, was captured 17 May 1863 at Champion Hill and taken to Memphis, TN as a prisoner of war.  He must've not been kept there too long as he was back in Meridian, MS in hospital in Oct 1863. John Cisero was 18 when he went off to fight the Yankee's in 1864.   Now four sons had left the farm to fight for the South.  I can imagine Jacob and Lurany's despair on the day that   Jacob and  one of his two remaining sons were out in the yard and the Cavalry rode in.  William Green was born in 1848 and was probably 16 or younger when the captain of that reg't. told him  to  "Get

your  mule and come with us.  You're needed."     Dinner that night must've seemed  very  sad and lonely.  Where once so many children, so many strapping noisy young boys, were gathered around the table, now only little Jacob Wade  who was under 10, and his two sisters were left . Mary Lurany (Mollie)  was in her early teens and  she and little Jacob now  had to shoulder a larger amount of the work that had to be done. Big sister Elizabeth was married and living in Texas and Sarah was also married  but living close by.  The youngest of the children was Bell Wellburn, born in 1856,  two years after her brother Jacob. After the war ended, the four  surviving brothers came home.  Simon had a

wife and a step daughter to return to, Neil  returned home and married Harriet Ellis in Nov of 1865.  They stayed  and  farmed  until after 1870 when they moved , first to Erath Co. Texas  and finally by 1878 to Gregg Co. TX, where some of  their descendants still live.  John Cicero  and his son John Jr apparently kept the original farm outside of Jackson, MS.  Jacob and Lurany saw their son William Green leave for Texas about 1882.   After a few years of working cattle drives . William married and settled in Louisiana,

probably not far from his brother Neil in Gregg co. TX. Jacob and Lurany Johns Matthews died in 1888 and are buried at Greenwood Cemetery in Jackson, MS.

Three of Jacob Matthews and Lurany Johns sons served in the CSA.

Notes for MARGARET STEWART:

The US 1880 census has S.J. Matthews and Margaret in the lst Ward Red river

Louisiana census.  It shows them with two williams children ---- T.B. which I

think is probably FB and G.A. Williams.  What led me to Red River Parish is

Margaret's sister Elizabeth Wardlaw married to one W.W. Wardlaw. Apparently

they migrated out that way when things were so bad in mississippi after the

Civil War.          Virginia Brame

                           Civil War Service

Benajah Matthews - Jones County, MS

Benajah Matthews was apparently too old to serve. He was in Jones County MS at the time of the War, which became a hotbed of controversy. Many of the men in Jones County were Union Sympathizers even though they were conscripted into the Civil States Army. Several Jones County men who and their immediate families joined Newton Knight's band. Among these were Taply Bynum, James Madison Collins and his father Simeon, his brother Riley James Collins (who later deserted the CSA and joined the Union Army), Benajah's brother Lazarus Mathews, and several others.

Newt Knight and the "Free State of Jones" is a subject of interesting reading for anyone who had ancestors in Jones Co MS in the Civil War. Apparently Benajah Matthews was a probate judge at some time in Jones County, for at the close of the War he wrote a letter defending Newt and his band which is on file in the National Archives and which he signed BA Matthews, ex-probate judge of Jones County.

Benajah's son John R Matthews may have served in the Civil War.

Notes for JOHN MATTHEWS:

Johns descentents are from Maradee Cryer

 

Welcome Harold,

Harold and I have been corresponding about our Matthews family. His great

grandfather, Clarence Moody Matthews is the youngest brother of my

grandfather Benjamin Frank Matthews. I have no further information on the

senior John Matthews. However, I do have an old record book that was owned by

his son John and John's wife Tabitha Gilson Matthew. In it is written that

they were in Scott County, Mississippi in 1860 and in Bradley County,

Arkansas in 1867. In the1870s my great grandfather Samuel Harmon Matthews was

in Adams County, Mississippi. We think that John and Tabitha died in Adams

County but do not know for sure. When Samuel Harmon married about 1853 or 54

he and his wife Mary Ann Chavers moved into part of an old plantation located

south of Natchez on the Woodville Hwy. The plantation  is called Fair Oaks.

They also lived in The Grove that is located next door. Recently another John

and Tabitha descendent discovered an old family cemetery that is located on

Fair Oaks property. The overgrown cemetery contained the tombstone of Sam and

Mary Ann Matthews' daughter Charlotte Matthews Smith who died in her early

20s after having a baby. Supposedly there were many other little wooden

crosses that used to surround this stone. A fire had burned the area some

years ago and destroyed the crosses. We think these were the 4 babies of Sam

and Mary who died soon after birth. We have often wondered where they were

buried. Living there with Sam Matthews was his brother Loderick Matthews, his

wife Mattie Horne Matthews and their family. At some point Sam's sister

Martha Matthews Welch and her family lived there or in The Grove Plantation

next door. All families moved together to Franklin Parish, Louisiana in the

early 1900s.

Notes for SEABORN CASWELL MATTHEWS:

Seaborn Caswell Matthews

 

Cemetery Record Book in Chancery Clerk's Office in Hazelhurst, MS, lists Matthews Cemetery, Location - An old plantation cemetery with wire fence all down, about 7 miles southeast of Crystal Springs, Copiah County, Mississippi.

******************************************************************************************************************

From Linda Foster on her trip to to them:

I can tell you where his gravesite is as I visited it this past December. The cemetery is located approximately 7 miles southeast from Crystal Springs.  Go through the town of Crystal Springs and out Harmony Road to Berry's store.  Turn right at the paved road  just before you get to Berry's store and go 2 miles to a brick house on the left side of the road. This is the home of a black man who owns the land where Seaborn and Jane are buried. Mr. A. J. Barron who lives in Crystal Springs knows the man, who is an invalid, and took us to his house. His granddaughter, Vera, very kindly took us to the cemetery which is about 100 yards behind his house in the woods. The fence around the cemetery is partially down. There is a tall square headstone at the head of Jane and Seaborn Matthews graves which contain the following information:

 

S. C. Matthews ? Aug. 3, 1817- Dec. 31, 1897 on one side and Jane Matthews ? Oct. 2, 1829 ? Oct. 22, 1882 on the next side.

 

The inscription on the base of the marker reads "Asleep in Jesus far from thee, Thy kindred and their graves may be, But thine still a blessed sleep from which none ever wake to weep." The concrete covers over the graves were buried under several inches of dirt.  When we removed the dirt, there was a small marker inscribed SCM and another inscribed JM at the end of largest cover. There is a tombstone with Henry M. crudely scratched on the very top, not on  the face, and a tombstone with M.P.M. on it.  There are two small wooden markers with no inscription.

 

My information on the children of Allen Matthews and Sity Vious Riley are as follows:

Harmon P.,          b. 05/22/1813 d. 10/23/1897,

Emeline Malisey,    b. 04/10/1815,

Seaborn Caswell,    b. 08/3/1817 d. 12/31/1897,

Allen,         b. 1819,

Elizabeth Ellen,    b. 01/02/1821 d. 1888,

Mary Ann,      b. 10/16/1822,

Arthur Tillman,     b. 11/02/1827 d. 09/14/1898.

 

I also show that Harmon P. and Mary Gates had 10 children, among them, sons

named Allen M., Arthur and Sebron; daughters named Emeline, City and Mary.

Sebron Caswell and Jane Newsom had 17 children, among them, sons named Allen

G., Harmon, Arthur T., Loderick Ellis (my great grandfather); and a daughter named Mary. It does get confusing with so many name repetitions. I welcome any

corrections or additions.

Thanks,

[UseMe.GED]

 

Dates of Loderick William Matthews and Sarah Moore Goodwin were obtained thru two sources:

 

1. Correspondence with Nettie Matthews Simmons (1964)

 

2. From the "Researchin' Ouachita-Calhoun Counties Ak." Vol 14, No. 2 - published by the Ouachita-Calhoun Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 2092, Camden Arkansas 71701.  This issue contained a transscription of Bible records from Bibles in the hands of members of the Patton and Matthews families.

There were only minor differences between the two sets of records.  The first set did not list the second wife of Loderick William Matthews. However, the transcription record uses a mixiture of initials and full names.  Where there is a difference in a date, the Bible record is used.

 

In addition to Benjamin, Loderick William and his family also remained in

El Dorado.  One of his Granddaughters, Nettie Lee Matthews Simmons provided

me with most of the information I have on Loderick's clan.  She also lived

in El Dorado.  I would have to surmise that two two families were not able

to remain in contact since her information was very limited.      From Bill Matthews

The Matthews Bible record as transcribed has a question as to the spelling.  It may have been Avorla.  The Arnold name came from correspondence with Nettie Simmons - and may be more trustworthy.

Erastus Allen Matthews along with his brother-in-law Leander Garrett were among the original members of the Texana Guard - Co K, 2nd Texas Inf. The company was formed of men from Jackson County and the town of Texana. Initially commanded by Clark Owen. They were among the Confederate forces that were surrendered at Vicksburg. The company was reactivated after the men were officially exchanged and served the remainder of the war in the Houston area. Documentation from the National Archives included copies of pay slips that showed he was either ill or wounded for several months; a copy of a letter written to his wife to let her know he had been given leave; a copy of the surrender document that the soldiers signed.
