PREFACE

Some years ago, for my own satisfaction, I began to collect information regarding that branch of the Matthews family with which I am connected. This led to considerable correspondence with various members of the family, many of whom I found to be likewise interested in the family history. While I had no intention of writing a book on the subject, so many persons requested a copy of what I should find that I finally agreed to publish what I have been able to gather together. This material is arranged in three sections. The first part is a historical section. It aims to state briefly what is known of Luke and Lucy Fox Matthews, with whom our family Bible begins its record ; what is known of their ancestors, including a survey of the chief Mathews families of early Virginia, and in addition, other facts related to the family history which it has seemed wise to include. Frequent footnotes indicate sources of informa¬ tion or add details. The second part is a collection of documents, such as wills, genealogies, county records and notes regarding records. These are given because of their intrinsic interest and also for the benefit of those who may wish to make further research. They bring those remote days near and give a proper atmosphere. It has not been possible for me to examine all the original documents quoted or referred to. I have had to depend in large measure on copies or abstracts sent to me by others. Even access to standard reference books and genealogical magazines has been my privilege only on occasional furloughs in America. Further research would, I am sure, have brought to light much additional information. It is to be hoped that other members of the family will correct and supplement what is here given. II

The third part of this book is the section which gives the family genealogies of Luke Matthews’ descendants, so far as traced, and shows the place of each member in the family line. The names of both parents, when reported, have been included. It would have added much to the interest and value of this section if the life story and the chief characteris¬ tics of each person could have been even briefly stated but that was impracticable both in case of those long dead and in case of most of the living, who are unknown to the author. This section of the book is the least satisfactory. It has been impossible for me, living in far Japan, to trace some family lines that could and should have been found and included ; or, more serious still, to verify the lists of descendants as given to me by others, often in script difficult to read. Some of these lists are thoroughly trustworthy. Others were furnished by somewhat distant relatives, often from memory, and are likely to be in error at many points. Notwithstanding checking and correction where feasible, regretable omissions and errors of many kinds are to be expected. Apologies are hereby made in advance and your forgiveness requested. The author will welcome additional facts, corrections and documents as it may be possible to issue a supplement at some later time. Since almost all of these lists were collected in 1927, subsequent changes in most families are not shown. This was unavoidable. In the absence, however, of any family history, it is hoped that this book, incomplete and unsatisfactory though it be, may meet a present need in our family life. It is too restricted in purpose and too wide in scope to be of much direct value to persons interested in scientific genealogical studies. But it will answer in part two questions that every child asks ; first, how he is related to that group of persons called his “ family ”, and second, who his ancestors Ill were. Would that it could tell us more fully, what kind of persons these relatives and ancestors have been, and what they have done in the world. To the three main parts of the book there has been added a complete index of all persons connected with the family lines. There is included also some blank pages for the convenience of members who wish to note corrections, or additional facts in their family history. The title of this book has been chosen with care in an effort to state accurately the field to be covered. For this reason it was necessary to include in the title the years in which this Luke Matthews lived ; for, in addition to his own son Luke, there was another Luke Mathews living in Brunswick Co. in his latter years, and there have doubtless been others since. As to the spelling of the surname it is necessary to add a word. In all early records there is found much variation in the spelling of names, and the surname Matthews is no exception (See p. 39). “Mathews” was, it seems, the form most commonly used in Virginia. It is to be noted that in this family, the name is spelled “ Matthews ” for the first time in the last entry of the family Bible record (1831). Apparently the Tennessee branch of the family had by that time decided to use this spelling. I remember how, years ago, certain aged relatives emphasized and took pride in the fact that the name thus spelled was a proof of family rela¬ tionship. Because the name has been thus spelled for over a hundred years and because there is no certainty as to how it was spelled by Luke Matthews or his ancestors, it has seemed best to use the form “ Matthews ” on the title page of this book and to follow elsewhere the documents as given. The notation used in the list of descendants is an adaptation of the decimal system found in many libraries. Children in each family are numbered 1-9 in order of birth. In rare cases there are more than nine children. Then the IV

tenth is designated by the letter “ A ” instead of a number, the eleventh by “ B ” etc. The first generation has one figure, the second two etc. Thus “ 738 Benjamin Cofield Matthews ” indicates that he was of the third generation and the eighth child of No. 73 (E. D. Matthews) ; also that his father (No. 73) was the third child of No. 7, (Isham Matthews), who was the seventh child of the common ancestor, Luke Matthews. Each member of the family has thus his individual number and the system is capable of indefinite extension, e. g. No. 571511 Sarah Elizabeth Green, is of the sixth generation. The list is divided into nine sections, each giving the descendants of one of the nine children of Luke Matthews. Each branch is treated as a whole before the next branch is taken up. To find the place of any person in the list consult the index. To the many members of the family who have so willing¬ ly cooperated in supplying needed information I wish to express my grateful thanks. I am particularly indebted to Miss Ada R. Wright of Clarksburg, W. Va. for supplying me with family documents and valuable notes on county records collected by her and her sister Mrs. R. R. Jones.

HISTORY

OF THE

FAMILY

ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY NAME

The name Matthews or Mathews is an example of surnames arising from baptismal names. The given name Matthew, which is of Hebrew origin and means “ Gift of God,” has been commonly used in the British Isles since the conversion of the people to the Christian religion. There were few surnames before 1350, so in speaking of children, John the son of Matthew was called Matthew’s John. Gradually the “ Matthews ” part of such combinations came to be treated as a surname.

Other surnames arising from the same baptismal name were Mathew, Matheson, Matson, Madison, Mathy, Maddy and Matty.(1) Variations in spelling gave rise to still other forms, such as Mathews, Mathis, Mathes, Matthewes, Mathaw, and Mathias.G)

It is said that the first use of Mathews as a surname occurred after Sir Mathew ap Evan (Jevan), eleventh Lord of Cardiganshire, Wales, was knighted by Richard II in 1386. His sons thenceforth took the surname Mathews, adding “ s ” to the father’s given name instead of the Welch “ ap ” (of), as had been done up to that time (See p. 25).

While this illustrious family doubtless had many descendants, it is unlikely that all persons having the sur¬ name Mathews belong to some one of its branches. With the widespread adoption of surnames in Britian after 1400, it is very probable that the surname Mathews originated independently in different parts of the British Isles. In any case, this surname seems now to be most common in England, particularly in the southern counties.(*)

EARLY EMIGRANTS TO VIRGINIA BY THE

NAME OF MATHEWS

Leaving out of consideration all early emigrants to the other American colonies by the name of Mathews or Matthews, we find mentioned in Hotten’s “ Original Lists of Emigrants who went to America, 1600-1700 ” and in Nell Marion Nugent’s “ Cavaliers and Pioneers ” the names of thirty four persons named Mathews, Matthews or Mathew who settled in the colony of Virginia between 1622 and 1658, and of sixteen more between 1659 and 1666. (See list p. 27). With few exceptions these persons came over as indented laborers^1 2) (“servants”). This meant that, in return for passage money and living expenses for the first few years, these persons agreed to serve the “gentleman ” who trans¬ ported them for a stated period and under conditions agreed upon. As an example of the contracts entered into by indented laborers, see the agreement between Luke Matthews of Hereford England and Thomas Langdon, Gentleman, of Creedwell given on p. 30. Though the name of this indented laborer was Luke Matthews, the fact that he settled in a different part of Virginia makes it extremely unlikely that he was the ancestor of Luke Matthews of Brunswick Co. There may have been indented laborers by the name of Mathews even before 1666 not in the list here given. There were certainly some after that date. Unfortunately there are no available lists of early emigrants to Virginia who came over at their own charges. That there were some such persons by the name of Mathews is however clearly shown by occasional references to them in early records. During the great Cavalier exodus from England after the execution of Charles I, in 1649, many royalists of means, education and social standing came to

Virginia. It is significant that the white population of Virginia increased from 15,000 in 1649 to 38,000 in 1670.0 Whether the first American ancestor of the Luke Matthews whose family is traced in this book is to be found among these indented laborers or among the English yeoman of that period cannot be determined without further informa¬ tion. What evidence there is, however, seems to point toward the latter class. The first as well as the most illustrious of all these early emigrants to Virginia was Samuel Mathews (b. 1592), who “ was sent to Virginia by James I in 1622 as one of five commissioners to make particular enquiry concerning the state of the colony ” J1 2> He was descended from an English family of distinction, being the son of Tobias Mathews, Archbishop of York. His genealogy(3) is traced back to Mathew ap Evan, mentioned above, whose family was perhaps the first to adopt the surname Mathews. From the first, Samuel Mathews held positions of high honor in the Colony of Virginia and died in 1660, while serving as Governor.^ As far as I have been able to trace his descendants, the only male lines descend from his great grandson, John Mathews, who moved to what is now Augusta Co. Va, where he received a grant of 1600 acres of landJ5) 5 Though some writers say that this John Mathews came from Ireland and settled in Augusta County about 1739J6) the evidence in favor of his descent from Governor Samuel

(1) John Fiske “ Old Virginia and her Neighbors ”, Vol. 2, p. 13. (2) Hotten’s “ Original Lists of Emigrants ” says that he came on the Southampton, with Robert Mathews, “ Servant ”. (3) At this point it may be well to state that I have found no authentic genealogies tracing back any of these early emigrants to the English families front which they were descended except in the case of Governor Samuel Mathews, whose accepted genealogy is given on p. (4) Va. Mag. of Hist, and Biog. Vol. 1, p. 91,201,480. See also “ Muster of Inhabitants of Virginia in 1624-5 ”, p. 233. (5) Va. Mag. of Hist, and Biog, Vol. I, p. 480. (6) See “ The Mathews Family in America ”, a pamphlet by I. C. Vandeventer, Alexander Printing Co. Kansas City, Mo. 1925, and also “ History of Augnsta Co. Va.” p. 317. 4

Mathews seems fairly conclusive. He had seven sons and four daughters, all of them persons of importance. The fifth son, George Mathews, become Brigadier General under General Green, in the Revolutionary war and afterwards Governor of Georgia. While there were many descendants of John Mathews there is no evidence that any of them lived in or near Brunswick Co. or were in any way related to the Mathews families there. Another rather illustrious pioneer may be mentioned in passing. He was Thomas Mathew of Cherry Point, North¬ umberland Co. Va., member of the House of Burgesses in 1676. He, however, returned with all his heirs to England, where he died in 1703.d) Mathews County Va. was “ named after Major Thomas Mathews, of the Revolution, afterwards prominent in the legislature (from the Borough of Norfolk, 1785—1794) ”/1 2) and not for this Thomas Mathew of Cherry Point as has been sometimes supposed. Another prominent emigrant to Virginia who came at his own charges about 1635 was Thomas Mathews, Surgeon. In 1639 he received a grant of 1,100 acres in Henrico Co.'3) Since the average size of land grant in 1638 was 423 acres/4) he must have been a man of considerable importance. We find mention somewhat later of one Edward Mathews^5) also in Henrico Co. who received a grant of 1,536 acres in 1673, when the average amount of land grant was 890 acres/4) This Edward Mathews^6) may have been related to Thomas Mathews, Surgeon.

Brunswick, we find in 1704 mention of Edward Mathew as owning 50 acres. This may have been the same Edward.0) In seeking to find the first American ancestor of Luke Matthews of Brunswick Co. Va. we should not only consider early emigrants of means and social position, such as those above mentioned, but should also take into consideration those indented emigrants who were brought to the counties of Virginia south and west of the James River, out of which Brunswick and its neighboring counties were later formed. In the list of indented emigrants to Virginia before 1666 (See p. 27) you will find marked with a star the names of those who came to this section. A clear understanding of the geographical position of the early counties of this section and of the .successive changes made in them is also essential to anyone making research into the history of the Mathews families of Brunswick Co. For this reason a statement of these changes is given in this book (See p. 32). With regard to indented white servants, John Fiske says<1 2) “ Our survey shows that in the class of indented white servants there was a wide range of gradation from thrifty redemptioners^3) 4 and gallant rebels (political prisoners) at one extreme down to ruffians and pickpockets at the other Of most of the thirteen indented emigrants in this list by the name of Mathews, who came to south Virginia (See p. 27) little else is known. There seems to be however one outstanding exception, in the case of Anthony Mathews, who was transported to Isle of Wight Co. in 1638, by John Seaward.O) He is apparently the same person as the Anthony Mathews who

Nugent, pp. 85, 106. 6 in 1664 is mentioned as transporting on his own account thirteen persons, for which he received a land grant of 640 acres.(’) Later, in 1666, he received a grant for 1300 acres and in 1685 a grant for 640 acres in Isle of Wight Co. In 1693 his widow married Thomas Davis of Henrico Co.!1 2) By 1739, when Luke Mathews was born, there were doubtless a considerable number of descendants from these early Mathews families living in the southern counties of Virginia. There were in addition probably others of the same name who had come in later. Further investigation is needed at this point in order to establish connection between these first settlers and the Mathews families found in Brunswick Co. before 1750.

THE FAMILY OF LUKE MATHEWS OF

BRUNSWICK CO. VIRGINIA

The earliest Mathews found in Brunswick Co. records, and the earliest known ancestor of Luke, was James Mathews mentioned in the Quit Rent Rolls for 1704 as owning 100 acres in Prince George Co/1) There is evidence also that he owned land both in Surry and Brunswick Counties, Virginia and in Edgecomb Co., North Carolina/2) He was born not later than 1670 and married Ann. He was a con¬ temporary and possibly a brother of Edward^) and IsaacG) Mathews of Brunswick Co. These three may have been sons of Anthony Mathews of Isle of Wight Co. or one or more of them may have been sons of Thomas Matthews, Surgeon, above mentioned. Thorough research at this point may lead to the dis¬ covery not only of Luke’s first Virginia ancestor, but also of the English family from which he was descended. It is at least a reasonable supposition that these three men were in some way related and that from them probably all the persons by the name of Mathews mentioned in the Brunswick Co. records were descended. A digest of these records is given later, (pp. 33-39) and should be carefully examined. From them we learn that James Mathews had at least three sons: James Jr./5) Matthew and Charles^) and that Charles had three sons : Drury, William and Luke; and two daughters, one of whom married George Connelly and the other Matthew Bishop.

Va, Crozier; Colonial Records, Book 11, p. 140.) (6) See also Poll List Brnnswick Co. Va., 1748, William and Mary Quarterly Vol. 24, 1,61. 8

While Charles Mathews in his will does not mention his son Luke, neither does he mention his son William nor his daughter who was the wife of Matthew Bishop, “ son in law ”. But the will of Charles’ son Drury definitely refers to a brother Luke and thus establishes the fact that Charles had a son called Luke. (See p. 34). The question arises whether this Luke, the son of Charles, is the same person as the Luke who married Lucy Fox and whose descendants are traced in this book. The grounds for deciding that they are the same person are; first, that these two Lukes lived in Brunswick Co. at the same time and were apparently about the same age ; and second, that all but one other reference in Brunswick Co. records up to 1788 relate clearly to Luke Mathews, husband of Lucy Fox. If there had been another Luke living there at the same time he would naturally have been mentioned more than once or twice. Against this conclusion it has been pointed out that Luke, the husband of Lucy Fox, died in 1788 whereas his brother Drury, of whose will he was to be executor, did not die until 1795. In reply it may be said that since William Topley, the other executor named in the will, was presumably still alive, it probably did not seem to Drury to be necessary to make a new will. Two other persons named Luke Mathews are mentioned in later Brunswick Co. records. One was the son of John, who received land from his father in 1789. He could not have been Drury’s brother. The other was the son of Luke, husband of Lucy Fox. On page 40 is given a table setting forth the relationship of the various persons by the name of Mathews mentioned in the Brunswick Co. and other records so for as this can be determined from information at hand. 9

THE FAMILY OF LUCY FOX, WIFE OF

LUKE MATHEWS

In the Matthews family Bible it is stated that Lucy Mathews was the daughter of Richard Fox and Joanna his wife and that she was born Nov. 28, 1747, married Jan. 26, 1766 and died Feb. 12, 1831. From the records of Mecklenburg Co. Va., given on p. 47 we learn that she was one of a family of twelve children, eight girls and four boysJ1 2) Her father’s will probat¬ ed in Mecklenburg Co. Va., in 1771, printed in full on p. 45, mentions only three brothers and six sisters. The reason why the other brother, William, was not mentioned in the will is nowhere stated. It was probably because he had already, in 1765, received from his father a gift of 400 acres, (p. 48). Why Richard Fox in his will left no land to any of his daughters and nothing at all to his daughters Mary and LucyF) is not known. According to the will however Lucy was given the right to receive an equal share with the other children in that part of the estate left to her mother and also in the estate of any of her brothers or sisters dying before they came of age or had heirs. That Lucy was a daughter of Richard Fox and that she received her share in the estate of her brother Isliam Fox, is made clear by the following court record : “ Fox, Wm. Richard Fox, Ann Fox, John Kendrick & Amey his wife of Mecklenburg Co. Va., Joseph Price & Sarah his wife, David Towns & Hannah his wife of Bute Co. N. C., Samuel Jones and Mary his wife of Georgia, Luke Matthews & Lucy his wife of Brunswick Co. Va., which said children are devisees of Richard Fox late of Mecklenburg Co., dec’d to Wm. Davis, said Richard Fox dec’d devised said land to

Also same parties to same grantee Feb. 7, 1777. No. 5 p. 124 Mecklenburg Country Records. Col. Richard Fox, father of Lucy Fox Mathews, was born about the beginning of the 18th century. In 1762, he was living in Lunenburg Co. and later lived in Mecklenburg Co. (p. 48). He married Hannah Williamson, daughter of John Williamson of Surry Co. Va. As to Richard Fox’s descent there is some uncertainty. He was probably the fourth sord1) of Thomas Fox and Mary Tunstall, who was the daughter of Edmund Tunstall of King and Queen Co. Va. and his wife Catherine Smith/2 3) This Thomas Fox was the second son of Henry Fox(3) and grandson of Captain John Fox of Gloucester Co. Va., who died before 1683. Henry Fox lived in Gloucester, King and Queen and King William Counties, Va. He was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1714. His wife was Anne West, daughter of Col. John West/4 5) 1633—1691, of “ Westover ”, New Kent Co. Va/5) and his wife Unity (or Ursula) Crowshaw, daughter of Maj. Joseph Crowshaw of Poplar Neck, York Co. Va. Anne West was thus the grand niece of Lord Delaware III. There is a society in Washington, D.C., called the ” De¬ scendants of Henry Fox-Ann West ”, which challenges the descent of Richard Fox from Thomas Fox-Mary Tunstall on the ground of insufficient proof. On the other hand Mr. James Fox, deceased, brother of John Fox, the novelist, who spent

(5) John West’s will, dated Nov. 15, 1689 is recorded in King and Queen Co. Henning No. 6, p. 321. 11 much time in tracing the history of the Fox family, accepted this descent as unquestioned.(|) All therefore that can be said at present is that, while generally accepted, this descent needs fuller verification. The name of Lucy Mathews* mother is given in the Matthews family Bible as Joanna. But in the will of John Williamson of Surry Co. Va., dated Jan. 30, 1731 and pro¬ bated May 17, 1732, Col. Richard Fox is mentioned as the husband of his daughter Hannah. (See p. 49). If Hannah and Joanna were different persons then there must have been two men by the name of Richard Fox and Lucy’s grand¬ father could not have been the John Williamson mentioned above. To explain this slight difference requires more informa¬ tion than is now available. The decsendants of Lucy Fox Mathews’ brothers and sisters have the tradition that Richard Fox’s wife was named Hannah, the daughter of John Williamson of Surry Co. and this is probably the fact. Lucy Fox had a sister named Hannah, and a niece Joanna, which shows both names in use in Lucy’s family.*1 2 3* Her mother may have been called Joanna by some and Hanna by others or there may have been a slip in memory, when the Bible record was made. Hanna Williamson, b. 1710, was the daughter of John Williamson of Surry Co. Va. He was born in 1682 and died in 1731 and was the son of Arthur Williamson and grandson of Dr. John Williamson, who was a Burgess in 1666. Dr. John Williamson’s will was probated Feb. 16, 1669 in Isle of Wight Co. Va. His wife was Joan.

Richard Fox was the “ son of Henry Fox—Ann West ” and she was elected May 25, 1901. (3) Note also that Hannah Williamson’s great grandmother was named Joan. 12

THE MATTHEWS FAMILY BIBLE

An old family Bible, found in the family of W. B. Matthews of Franklin, Tenn. and probably received by him from his father Isham contains the following record of the family of Luke Mathews of Brunswick Co. Va.6>

The record in the Matthews Family Bible is as follows :

Luke Mathews, born Mar. 15, 1739. Lucy Mathews, daughter of Richard Fox and Joanna, his wife, born Nov, 28, 1747. Luke Mathews and Lucy, his wife, married Jan. 26, 1766. Angelila Mathews, daughter of Luke Mathews and Lucy, his wife, born June 28, 1767. Hannah Mathews, born Sept. 25, 1768. Elizabeth Mathews, born May 14, 1772. Lucy Mathews, born Oct. 27, 1774. John Mathews, born Mar. 9, 1777. Luke Mathews, born Aug. 22, 1779. Isham Mathews, born April 2, 1782. Nancy Mathews, born Oct. 11, 1785. Drury Mathews, born Sept. 4, 1788. Luke Mathews, husband of Lucy Mathews, departed this life April 7, 1788. Lucy Matthews, wife of Luke Matthews, departed this life Feb. 12. 1831.

When and by whom this record was written is not known. The last entry, recording the death of Lucy Fox Matthews, was made in a different handwriting, which indicates that the preceding entries, all in the same handwrit¬ ing, were made earlier, that is before 1831. It is to be noted that the last entry of the Bible record is the only one in which the surname is spelled Matthews.

(1) This Bible is now in the Tennesee State Library, Nashville, Tenn. See also “ Bible Records and Marriage Bonds” compiled by Mrs. J. T. Acklen, 1933, p. 228, for a cody of the same records. 13

LIFE OF THE FAMILY IN BRUNSWICK CO.

VIRGINIA

From family records, old letters and traditions we can gain considerable information as to the kind of life the family lived in those pioneer days in Virginia. What is thus established enables us to find their place in the society of the day and, with the help of historians of the period, to fill in a rather complete picture of the frontier civilization in the midst of which their lives were spent. In this book however it is possible to give only a brief sketch of what we know or can confidently infer to have been the more important facts in the life of Luke Matthews' family. There were two classes of planters in early Virginia, the great planters, owning immense estates, chiefly in the tide¬ water section or along the important rivers and creeks, and the small planters having less than a thousand acres situat¬ ed on the less fertile ridges or in the ever expanding counties along the western border. But “ between these two classes no hard and fast line can be drawn. Already in England the classes of rural gentry and yoemen shaded into one another; in Virginia both alike became land-holders and slave owners, they mingled together in society, and their families intermarried.” C) It was to the latter, the small planter class, that Luke Matthews belonged. At his death he was in possession of at least nine slaves and owned 553 acres of land. Brunswick Co. where he lived, was at that time a comparatively new part of Virginia and it is probable that most of its citizens were small planters like himself. It lacked many of the conveniences and refinements of the tidewater section. One of the peculiar features of life in early Virginia was that there were practically no towns. Richmond, founded

(1) John Fiske “ Old Virginia and Her Neighbors” Vol. 2. p. 185. 17 in 1737, was perhaps the nearest town to Brunswick Co. people. It had, even in 1790, a population of only 3761. It is said that “ when Thomas Jefferson entered William and Mary College in 1760, a lad of seventeen years, he had never seen so many as a dozen houses grouped together ”.C) Consequently the country store, became the local com¬ munity center. Each county had its courthouse but often no town grew up around it. The earliest plantations were located along the rivers and creeks, which for a long time were the only highways of traffic. Before 1750 there were few roads and these not much more than trails through the woods. There were few bridges. Consequently travel was difficult and long journeys were rarely undertaken. People had to depend chiefly on home products and manufactures, to be satisfied with such cloth, clothing, shoes, furniture and other necessities as the household could fashion. Whatever may be said of the luxury in which the great planters of Eastern Virginia lived, the small planters in Brunswick and other western counties had few opportunities to buy imported goods and little money with which to pay for them. There was no newspaper in Virginia before 1736. Schools were largely private and were not numerous. Doctors were scarce and their methods of treatment far from scientific. Tobacco was not only the one money crop but served in place of money. “ In tobacco taxes were assessed and all wages and salaries paid ”. So we may be sure that Luke Matthews, like other men of his day, was engaged chiefly in the growing of tobacco. He like others suffered from the fluctuation in price, due chiefly to manipulation of the market by merchants in both England and Virginia.

(1) John Fiske “ Old Virginia and Her Neighbors ” Vol. 2. p. 195. 18

Politically the small planters were without power. They were in constant hostility to the virtual oligarchy of the great planters, who ruled Virginia from 1662 to 1762. Even the vestry of the parishes established in every county were under the control of a self perpetuating group belonging to the few chief families of the parish. In Brunswick there may have been slightly more democratic control as there were fewer of these great planters. We find that Luke’s grandfather, James, and also Isaac Mathews, were appointed by the vestry of St. Andrew’s for important work, but whether they were members of the vestry is not known. The great political event of Luke’s lifetime was the American Revolution. There is a family traditional that he served in that war, but I have been unable to find any record of service, either then or earlier in the Colonial Militia. He was rather too old to serve in the Revolutionary War, but his brother Drury took the oath and qualified as a lieutenant in the Militia of Brunswick Co. in 1779 J1 2 3) There is however the following record of civilian service in the Revolution, for which Luke Matthews was awarded compensation. “ At a court held for Brunswick Co. Va. an act of assembly was read entitled ‘ An act for adjusting claims for property, impressed or taken for public services ’. The Court having caused public notice to be given that they intend to proceed to the execution thereof this day. (Names certified as giving supplies). “ Court of April 23, 1782. Luke Matthews. Luke Matthews’ family were very probably adherents of the Church of England. While Presbyterians came into Virginia in 1699 and were guaranteed religious autonomy in 1738, neither they nor the Baptists, who came in about

County Records, Brunswick Co.” (Name spelled Matthis). (3) Order Book No. 13, p. 417 etc. Tyler’s Quarterly Mag ; Vol. 6-2 p. 110. 19 the same time, seem to have gained a large following in Brunswick Co. But during the last years of Luke’s life and for many years thereafter, Brunswick County was deeply stirred by the Methodist movement. The Brunswick Circuit, including Brunswick Co., was the first circuit of the Methodist Church formed in Virginia, (1773). In 1774 it had 218 members and the numbers grew rapidly in succeed¬ ing years. In 1784, the American Methodist Church was organized and the first session of the Va. Conference after this organization was held in 1785 in Mason’s Church in Brunswick Co. When the family of Luke Matthews joined the new Methodist movement is not known but that they did whole¬ heartedly enter it is seen from two facts ; first, that they have almost all been Methodists since that day, and second, that many of its members have served as preachers and missionaries of that church.d) There is in Brunswick Records a statement that Lucy Mathews sold “ 2Mj acres of land for a house of worship for a Methodist Episcopal Church”, (p. 36). One of the early Methodist meeting houses was Walker’s Barn. In Bishop Asbury’s journal for 1791, is found a note of his going to a quarterly meeting at “Sister Walker’s in Brunswick Co.,” (where) “ Dr. Coke went to the barn and I preached in the house ”. Since the Walker and Mathews families were connected by marriage, and probably lived near each other, one wonders if Luke’s family were not present on this very occasion. About 1808, Lucy Fox Matthews, widow of Luke, left her home in Virginia and made the long journey, undoubted¬ ly on horseback, over the mountains to join two of her sons who had preceded her. Thereafter she made her home with her son John, near Triune, Williamson County, Tennessee. Even then, though it had been twenty years since the death of her

Church, South. 20 husband, some business connected with the division of the estate had to be left unfinished, to be wound up by the co¬ executor, Wilson Walker, her son-in-law. Occasional letters from Tennessee to relatives in Vir¬ ginia show that she was in poor health and led a very inactive life for many years before her death in 1831, at the age of eighty four.

THE CHILDREN OF LUKE AND LUCY

FOX MATTHEWS

In addition to the information contained in the genea¬ logical section, (Part III), the following facts should be given regarding the children of Luke and Lucy Fox Matthews. The name of the first daughter, who married Major Wilson Walker is given in the family Bible as Angelila. In the Brunswick Co. records, the name is Angelineand Angelina. But in her father’s will and in the Walker family records her name appears as Angelica, which is undoubtedly correct. This form is used also in a letter from her mother in 1814 where the name is spelled “ Angillica ”. The Walker family was prominent in Brunswick Co. In the Virginia militia Angelica’s husband rose to the rank of Major and probably served in the War of 1812. It will be of interest to her descendants to learn that obituaries of both Major Wilson Walker and his wife are preserved in an old scrapbook belonging to the Taylor family/1) Wilson Walker served as one of the executors of Luke Matthews’ estate and rendered assistance later to his mother-in-law and other members of the family in business matters. The final division and sale of the land of Luke Matthews was made by him about 1809, apparently after Lucy Matthews, co-executor had left Virginia. Angelica so far as we know never made a visit to her mother in Ten¬ nessee. She lived and died in Virginia.

(1) Seep. 61. 21

In the Brunswick Co. records (pp. 37-38) we find the marriage bonds of Luke’s daughters Angelica, Hannah and Lucy. The marriage of his son John to Martha Jordan is recorded in Mecklenburg Co.O) The other five children must have been married in other counties. Elizabeth, who married Millington Smith, settled in Rutherford Co. Tenn. sometime between 1810 and 1820. In a letter to Wilson Walker, dated March 30, 1814, Lucy Fox Matthews asked her daughter Angelica to send her some garden bulbs and seeds “ when Nancy comes ”. So Nancy, who married Thomas Edwards and came with him to Rutherford Co. Tenn., must have come after 1814. It is thought that she and her husband later proceeded to west Tennessee and settled there. In the same letter she reported that her son Luke had gone to serve his turn in the army (against the Indians). This is the last record found concerning him. John and Isham Matthews moved with their families from Virginia to Tennessee about 1806. It is possible that John followed Isham, in which case he arrived not later than 1808. They bought land near Triune in Williamson Co. Tenn. and spent their lives there as farmers. John Matthews’ original purchase of 300 acres was made on June 18, 1810 at a cost of $ 625.62. His brother- in-law, Millington Smith of Rutherford Co., bought at the same time an adjoining tract of 200 acres which he sold two years later. In 1822 John Matthews bought 75 acres ad¬ ditional. Isham Matthews bought his farm on July 11, 1815, for $ 737.00. As to where he had lived during his first seven years in Tennessee, we have no record. Family letters of that period show that Luke Matthews Holmes, a son of Hannah, went to Williamson Co. Tenn.

(!) Marriage Licence Bonds of Mecklenburg Co. Va. 1765-1810. (Typed and bound volume in Tenn. State Library'). (2) See Census of Rutherford Co. Tenn. fot 1810 and 1820. 22 with his uncles Isham and John as they returned from a visit to Virginia in 1811. Williamson Co. marriage records show that Luke Holmes married in that county in 1813 or 1814. I have found no further record of him or of his parents. The family history of Lucy Matthews, who married Wm. Berry and of Drury Matthews is not known. There was a family tradition that Drury married twice, sisters by the name of Glover in Va. and that he moved from Virginia to Alabama and settled near Selma. Thus by the migration from Virginia to Tennessee of all Luke’s sons except possibly Drury, his descendants having the family name were for some time found chiefly in the latter state. But today this family, like most others, has no longer any one locality that may be called home. It would be well to point out in passing that there were in those early years in Tennessee, (1800-1830), several other families by the name of Matthews in Williamson and neigh¬ boring counties which seem to have been in no way connect¬ ed with the descendants of Luke Matthews of Brunswick Co. Va. There was, for example, a large family of that name around Zion Church, Maury County, as well as others in Rutherford, Davidson and Bedford Counties. There were also several families by that name in East Tennessee. PART II

ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS, RECORDS

AND

NOTES

THE MATTHEWS GENEALOGY USUALLY GIVEN

The desire to trace one’s lineage, and particularly one’s family name as far back as possible is natural and com¬ mendable. If some distant ancestor is found to be of royal descent, the search seems to many persons to have been well worth while. However as has been well said. “Just what advantage there is in claiming a fractional drop of royal blood is a complete mystery. For every one descent I might claim from King Alfred, I could claim a million from the peasants of his time, if records had been kept of the lower classes ”.d) Moreover where one is found unworthy of noble ancestors, be it nobility of rank or nobility of character, he is, in the words of Samuel Butler, “ like a turnip. There is nothing good of him but that which is underground ”. “ Furthermore an investigation of these claims usually shows that not one in twenty of such pedigrees (those printed in genealogical books) can stand up under the search¬ ing test of modern scientific investigation ”J1 2)

Comparatively few American families are able to find authentic records of their first American ancestor, to say nothing of the families in England or elsewhere from which these emigrants were descended. This seems to be true of most of the Matthews families in America. The one out¬ standing exception is that of Governor Samuel Mathews (1592-1660). How far even his genealogy is authentic I am unable to say, for I have had no opportunity to study the original records. But as his genealogy is often published as the “Genealogy of the Mathews Family,” I have decided to include it in this

(1) Jacobus “ Genealogy as a Pastime and Profession ” p. 32. (2) G. A. Moriarty in the New England Register. (Quoted by Jacobus, p. 31.) 24 book for the satisfaction of those who have not seen it and for the help it may give to those who are seeking to trace the lineage of their branch. However let me say again that I have found no evidence whatsoever that the family of Luke Matthews of Brunswick Co. Va. is in any way con¬ nected with the family of Governor Mathews or with the following “ Genealogy.”

I have before me five copies^') of this pedigree. They differ in some details and in the spelling of names.

EARLY COUNTIES OF SOUTHERN VIRGINIA^) &

In 1634 there were the following original shires, in whole or part, west and south of the Chickahominy and James Rivers (from north to south), with population as given : Henrico (pop. 419), Charles City (pop. 511), James City (pop. 886), Warrosquyoake (name changed in 1637 to Isle of Wight), (pop. 522), and Elizabeth City (pop. 1670). 1 From Henrico Co. were taken: Goochland Co., 1728; Chesterfield Co., 1749. From Goochland came: Albermarle, 1744; and Cumberland, 1749. 2 From Charles City Co/1 2 3) came: Brunswick, 1732. (including also parts of Surry and Isle of Wight); Amelia, 1735; and Dinwiddie, 1752. From Brunswick came: Lunenburg, 1746 ; and Greenville, 1781. From Lunenburg came: Halifax, 1752; Bedford, 1754; Charlotte, 1765; Mecklenburg, 1765. From Bedford came : Campbell, 1782 ; and Franklin 1786. From Amelia came: Prince Edward, 1754; Nottoway, 1789. 3 From James City Co. came: Surry, 1652; and from Surry, was taken Sussex, 1754. 4 From Elizabeth City Co. were taken : Upper Norfolk, 1637 (name changed in 1642 to Nansemond); and Lower Norfolk, 1637.

(1) There is found considerable difference of opinion as to the exact date of the formation of these early counties. The dates given here are taken from Bulletin of Va. State Lib., 1916 Robinson, “ Va Counties, Old Survey ’ ’ A. W. Bonohan, p. 10-11 ; Crozier, Vol. 2, p. 26. (2) Attention is called to the fact that early Virginia settlers often owned land in North Carolina Counties near to or adjoining the counties in which they lived. For example James Mathews, Sr. owned land in Edgecomb Co. N. Car, south of Brunswick Co. Va. (See also p. 35). An examination of the county records of these neighboring counties in North Carolina should be made. (3) Name changed to Prince George in 1703. 33

NOTES ON BRUNSWICK COUNTY RECORDS^

St. Andrew’s Parish Shows.

(This is a part of the records of Brunswick Co. Virginia).

None were appointed to do this work except prominent and influential citizens. This was the first time this was done in this County, and was of peculiar importance and I suppose the Vestry settled the very best men in the County to do this work.

At a meeting of the Vestry held the 3rd January 1739 and October 1st 1743. Isaac Mathews along with the other gentlemen appointed to procession the land in Brunswick County.

NOTES ON THE SIMS AND PEGRAM FAMILIES

A. Ancestors of Mary Baker Sims

Mary Baker Sims was born in Dinwiddie County, Va. and married Isham Matthews Nov. 25, 1805. She had a brother, Millerton Sims, who was at one time a merchant in Franklin Tenn.

She was the daughter of John SimsO) and Mary Pegram, who was one of the six children of William Pegram and his wife Elizabeth.

The division of her father’s estate among the children is stated in the court action given below.

William Pegram,(1 2) 3 4 father of Mary Pegram, was born June 18, 1742, baptised July 4, 1742 at old Blanford Church (Bristol Parish) and died before 1782.

He was one of the eleven children of Edward Pegram, (b. 1720, d. 1795) and Mary Scott Baker (b. Nov. 12, 1723 ; d. 1779 or 1799). Edward Pegram settled on a tract of land eighteen miles below Petersburg in Dinwiddie County, Va. and was buried on that farm. He had a brother named Daniel. Mary Scott Baker, wife of Edward Pegram, was the daughter of Col. Daniel Baker^l and.^ Griffith, daughter of Sir Folliard Griffith (Bart.) It is said that Daniel Baker’s wife was disinherited by her father for marrying a commoner. After Daniel Baker’s death, she married Patrick Oglesby, by whom she had a daughter, who married William Andrews.

(1) The Matthews’ family tradition is that John Sims came frcm Scotland. There was a George Sims mentioned in Va. Quit Rent Rolls for Surry Co. 1704. He may have been the ancestor of John. (2) This and all following statements are based on family records of the Pegram family, kindly furnished me by Mrs. C. J. Lumpkin of Carlinsville Ill. (3) Member of the House of Burgesses in Va. (4) Her name may have been Sarah. 51

B. Division of William Pegram’s Estate

At a Court of Quarterly Session Continued and held for Dinwiddie County, the 18th day of August, 1789. Daniel Pegram Complaint againt

Elizabeth Pegram, widow and relict of William Pegram, deceased, John Sims and Mary, his wife, Sarah, Elizabeth, William Baker and Frances, well beloved Pegrams, orphans of the said William, and Edward and John Pegram Executors of the said William, Defendants. Pursuant to a former decretal order made in this cause, David Walker, Peter Hanson, Henry Reese, and John Edmondson the persons therein named made this report, in the words following to-wit: “ Pursuant to an interlocutory decree of the worshipful Court of Dinwiddie bearing date the 17th of May 1786, we the subscribers having examined the accounts of the administrators of Edward and John Pegram, executors of the estate of William Pegram, deceased, have found these accounts, which are hereto annexed pro¬ perly stated and adjusted, with proper members and also have found, that after paying all debts and fully Administer¬ ing the said estate there remained in the hands of the said executors the sum of 326 pounds 6 shillings and 1 penny in bonds due from sundry persons to the said estate which bonds we have equally divided among the widow and children of the said William Pegram, deceased, to be distri¬ butive share of each amounting to 46 pounds 6 shillings and 7 pence, we have further also been pursuance of the said interlocutory decree, divided and distributed the negroes whereof the said decedent, William Pegram died seized and possessed in the following manner, to-wit: To Daniel, eldest son of the said decedent we have set apart and alotted a negro man named Scott, a negro boy named Fountain, a negro girl named Edy, and a negro girl named Dinah : To Elizabeth Pegram, Widow and relict of said William Pegram, deceased, we have distributed and alotted a negro woman 52 named Isabell, a negro girl named Blancby, and a negro woman named Belzy. To Sally Pegram, daughter of the said decedent, we have divided, set apart and alotted a negro woman named Grace, a negro boy named Will, a negro girl named Little Nanny, and a negro boy named Jene. To John Simms and his wife Mary Simms, eldest daughter of the said decedent, we have set apart and alotted a negro woman named Alsi, a negro girl name Katie, a negro fellow named Joe, and a negro woman named Hannah. To Elizabeth Pegram, daughter of the said decedent, we have alotted a negro girl named Pat, a negro boy named Ambrose, and a negro boy named Isaac; to Frances, well beloved Pegram, a negro woman named Jennie, a negro boy named Jenkins, a negro woman named Nannie, and a negro girl named Sarah: To William Baker Pegram, we have alotted and set apart a negro woman named Lucy, a negro girl named Olive, a negro girl named Amy, and a negro fellow named Jack : and whereas in our estimation the allotments of negroes to some were more valuable than others, we in order to equalize all the allotments, directed Daniel Pegram to pay his sister Frances, well beloved, 6 pounds 7 shillings and to his sister Elizabeth 4 pounds 16 shillings ; John Simms to pay William Baker Pegram 6 pounds 7 shillings, to Sally Pegram 4 pounds 8 shillings and to Elizabeth daughter of said decedent 8 shillings ; also Elizabeth the widow of the decedent should pay Elizabeth the daughter of the said decedent 1 pound 3 shillings which sums so directed to be paid were accordingly settled and satisfied. Moreover we wished (in obedience to the said decree) to alott and divide the land whereof the said decedent died seized and possessed as ordered and directed by the said decree. We could not do it because the surveyor did not attend. David Walker, Peter Manson, Henry Reese, John Edmondson ” on conside¬ ration whereof it is decreed and ordered that the said parti¬ tion and division be confirmed and established between the parties and their heirs, and that the costs of this suit be equally borne between them.
