The descent of THOMAS MARTIN MATLOCK (same as the Thomas Martin above)
From a letter written to me (JNA) by Mrs. Eve Kinkeade Bossert:
"my mother was the last of the second generation in Mo. of the line of' Thomas Martin Matlock. One of her brothers named Ransom was the judge in the famous Jesse James case. In case you missed that - an old man living in Franklin County petitioned the court to change his name from whatever it was, to Jesse James. He contended that he was indeed the infamous outlaw, not killed by Ford, but hiding in Onondaga Cave. It was thought to be a publicity effort by the owners of Onondaga, but it did involve the law so Uncle Ranse had to rule on it. He got out of a sticky situation by declaring that if this man was born Jesse James and had never had his name changed, there was no ruling necessary. It received nationwide coverage and Uncle Ranse was interviewed many times by newsmen who called him "the Missouri judge who looks like Lincoln", as indeed he did.
For Nancy Mitchell, the first wife of Thomas Martin Matlock, we have only her marriage date. I believe that she was the mother of three children, but there may have been others. It is my belief that George was her son, but some records give him as belonging with the children of Martin's second marriage to Barbara Rinehart. I have never seen this marriage date, but it took place in Tennessee, as all their children but one were born there.
The oldest child, Zacharias married Elizabeth Jane Rinehart in Missouri in 1846. They had seven children but only William, Susan and John R. lived to maturity. Barbara Eliza, born March 12, 1862 lived only seven days, and her mother followed five days later. The next summer Zachariah, Martin, and Nancy Ivins (Evans) died on the 4th, 5th and 6th days of August, quite likely of typhoid. All were buried in the Wash Cemetery, where many years later Zachariah's mother, Barbara was to be buried also. When possibly ten years later, Martin died on the homestead, where he had lived with his daughter, Susan, and her son, Edwin, he was buried in a rock tomb on the place. Edwin was never to have much of this Worlds goods, but he learned well of love and honor, for he cared for the graves as long as he was able and put down little homemade metal markers at his grandparent's graves.
Sabina, second child of Martin and Nancy was listed in the Crawford Co. census for 1850 as Biney Gross. She had one son, Frank Gross, and on Jan. 20, 1853 Sabina Gross was married to John Hibler and they were the parents of John, Ann and Becky Hibler. When my mother, Stella Breuer Kinkeade, was 11 years old Aunt Biney came to Phelps County to visit her brothers and sisters. She sickened and died while there, and her body was taken by wagon back to New Salem Cemetery north of Owensville, Mo. near her home.
Of George we know nothing except that he went to war and did not return. It is quite possible that he stayed in Tennessee, and served with the Southern Forces.
Lewis Rinehart Matlock married Permelia Ballard on Oct. 28, 1851 and they were the parents of eight children: George, James Greene, Josephine, Francis, Ida, Thomas and Hiram. They also took care of the three orphan children of Zachariah and Elizabeth Jane Matlock.
On Nov. 27, 1853 Nancy Matlock married her first cousin George Washington Rinehart, brother of the above mentioned Elizabeth Jane. Their children were: John, Jane, Harriet, Eda, Louis Jefferson, Marion, George W. and Alonzo, Susan's brief history is given earlier. Her son, Edwin, married Jane Lively and they had one child, Annie.
Eda's statistics are given in the enclosed chart and a detailed family history is to be found in the book Paul Breuer, His Brief Story and His Descendants. Also to be found in this book are Susan Matlock, who married Charles Breuer, and Hiram Matlock, who married Elizabeth Breuer. This book is available in three local libraries.
Ransom, the only child born in Missouri, married Martha Miller. Their children were Louis Jefferson, Langston Eugene, Granville Albert, Cora, Myrtle and Sarah. He of course, was named for Martin's brother, who died soon after reaching Missouri, and is buried near Cuba in Crawford County.

THOMAS SIMPSON, born 3 Decernber, 1799 in Tn. Resided 1830 Overton Co., Tn. and it would seem was the son of Moore Matlock, Jr. He went to Ky. to teach school and married one of his students, Mary Alexander. They were the parents of the following children: Nancy, Smith Hampton, Caroline, William A., James T., Jackson, Mary K. Cicero, Noah, Mary Arkansas, Bruce and Benton. An article written by Noah Matlock, above, for reading at reunion about 1914: "Thomas Simpson and Mary Matlock moved from Ky. to Rush County, Ind. on Aug. 13, 1831. They stayed all night on the 13th of the month in a little log house called a tavern in those days, near Rushville, in what is now called Circleville. This house stood, until near 1920 (this article must have been written later than 1914), was known as the George Oliver house, and was more than 100 years old. They moved to Rush County on horseback, carrying everything they had with them (including two children), great-grandfather Matlock carrying Smith, great-grandmother carrying Nancy. When they came, Rushville had a population of about two hundred inhabitants, and the county was still a vast wilderness. They settled on forty acres lying east of where the railroad now is, and in order to find their way back to the land, they had to blaze the trees through the woods. Through economy and industry they managed to raise a large family and accumulate a good deal of property. Thomas Simpson was a very firm man, and when he saw the right he would contend for it to the last ditch. His sympathies were always with the weak; in politics he was a Democrat, although he was bitterly opposed to slavery. For many years he was the best mathematician in this state; all of the hard knotty problems, were sent to him from all over the state, for him to solve, and he never failed in a single instance, but always sent back the correct answer. In penmanship his equal has never been known in Rush County." Thomas Simpson died 10 Nov., 1879 and his wife died 4 Sept. 1893. Both are buried in the Matlock Graveyard, Rush Co., Ind.

Jane Elizabeth White and had the following children: George Ann, Lucy Mildred m. Joseph W. Hart, and Louisa Jane m. J. M. Howard. From History of Kentucky Baptists: "He was born in 1807. He united with Harmony Church in Caldwell Co. Ky. January 1840 and was baptized by John W. Kelley. In October 1847 he began to preach. Before he was ordained he gathered Blue Springs Church in Caldwell Co., Ky. and was ordained its first pastor by Elders J.P. White and J.W. Mansfield in December 1852. He died from a stroke on his forehead by which his skull was fractured, Feb. 16, 1866. As the mortal wound was inflicted while he was alone, in his horse lot, after dark, it could not be ascertained whether it was done by the hand of an enemy or the kick of a mule". Thomas Wash died 16 Feb. 1866 and his wife died 13 April 1842 Caldwell Co., Ky.
