Christopher Columbus MATLOCK by Virginia Zeboski (Pertains to the Christopher Columbus above)

Following are excerpts from a letter received by Virginia Zeboski concering a Matlock with 28 children! They do multiply.

My father's name was CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS MATLOCK and he went by the name of C.C. Matlock. But my father was never in Indiana, he was born and raised in Southern Illinois and my grandfathers name was WILLIAM MATLOCK who was called Bill. I never knew my grandparents. They died when my father was 23. My father died 15 April 1932 in Rison, Arkansas.

But my great grandparents came from HOLLAND and settled in Pa., later moved to the Cumberland Mountains in Tenn., when my grandfather left there he settled in the Horse Shoe Lake out from Cairo, Illinois. And there my father was born and raised until he was quite old and went to work for the Cotton Belt Railroad, which took him to Arkansas where I and my brothers were born.

I have one brother 80 years old, Chicago, Ill.; my other brother Edgar E. Matlock living in Dixon, Mo; my other brother is O'Neal living in Calif.

But my father had 27 brothers and sisters --he was married three times, 13 children by one marriage and 13 by the other and two by my grandmother. My father didn't even know all of them. The uncles 1 know about are Lonnie, Tilden, Silistine, Henry and Willy, who had two sons, John and Leslie who lived somewhere in MO.

The above letter was written in 1969. Being the curious type, especially when it comes to Matlocks, I tried checking on this family. As I have often said, one has to take family tradition with a grain of salt.

In 1880 in Scott County, Mo. is found the following listings:

This man is also listed in Scotland Co. as follows:

Scott Co.

Columbus 11 Ill.

1850 Alexander Co., Illinois Southern border county.

Massac Co., Ill - 1850 Southern border county.

In 1855 Alexander Co., Ill. Index

Will anyone having access to Illinois census please check the above county 1860 and 1870 to see if we can pick up at least part of the 28 children of William ?
