WILLIAM MATLOCK, SR. AND HIS KNOWN DESCENDANTS
The following is a compilation of data received from Mr. Leonard McGee, Mrs. Virginia Zeboski, Mr. Thomas Matlock, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hammill, Mrs. Blanche Matlock, Mrs. Joan Kirwan and others, all descendants of William, Sr. (link to miscellaneous records)
There are many contradictions on the dates of the early generations. For instance, Nancy, below is shown on one record as being born in 1792 and in another as late as 1819! I have no records to prove or disprove. I will do my best to point out all views. There will be lots of probables and possibles. (JNA)
Much research has been done on this family but efforts to find a definite link beyond William, Sr. have thus far been in vain. He seems to be definitely identified in 1801 when his name appears on a petition to form Roane Co., Tn. The wife's name was Sarah but her surname is unknown. William, Sr. died in Morgan Co., Ind. in 1829. A will seems to have been filed but is missing. The children, as evidenced by deeds after his death, seem to have been.

[1.2] JAMES MATLOCK
Since this is Mr. McGees ancestor, I will take information from his family sheets:
James Matlock died before Aug. 19, 1832 in Danville, Indiana. Wife was Rosannah Wood, died after 1832 probably Danville.
Children:
[1.2.1] Sarah
[1.2.2] Matilda (married James M.Gregg)
[1.2.3] Rosannah married ([2] John Dunn). died 8 June 1842
[1.2.4] William (married Eliza Jane McVey)
[1.2.5] Eliza (married first John Holland and then Arthur 0. White)
[1.2.6] Mary Ann (married Wm. Mahon Blake), James W. (married Sarah Caywood)
Mr. McGee's note: The above children appear to belong to James and Rosannah Wood Matlock. James died interstate and there is list of his children, altho I am certain that Rosannah Dunn, Matilda Gregg and William W. are his children. Mr. Heiss and I have determined by process of elimination that these are some of the eleven children of James Matlock. James was a tavern keeper and Rosannah, his wife or daughter, kept the place after his death. Later it was kept by William W. Matlock. David, his brother and William W., his son, were administrators of his estate. William was also guardian of his sister's chilren. Matilda Gregg was caring for Rosannah's daughter, Eliza Jane Dunn (my grandmother) in 1850. Rosannah's death record comes from the doctor's bill. Eliza, daughter of James, married first John Holland and then Arthur 0. White. Rosannah Matlock and John Dunn had: James, Eliza Jane (married Hiram White) and Mary Ann. Rosannah had a daughter, Minerva by her first marriage.
According to the 1850 census of Hendricks Co., Ind. [1.2.4] William W. and wife, Eliza Jane had:
[1.2.4.1] James M. 9
[1.2.4.3] Susan 6

[1.10] GEORGE MATLOCK (typed from material sent by Blanche H. Matlock.) George Matlock was born about 1790. He married Sarah Lee in Co., Tn. They went to Indiana with other members of his family. They owned property in several counties. It was just the Territory of Indiana when they came there. They bought two 80 acres of land, from the U. S. government making 160 acres in Hendricks Co. and then they bought and sold lots of land besides this. George ended up running an inn or tavern in Danville. This seemed to be when he started having trouble with his wife. He went to Tennessee and stayed for about a year and when he came back, he was killed in an affray with his brother-in-law, Samuel K. Barlow. He died 25 Oct. 1826. George and Sarah had the following children:
[1.10.1] Thomas Matlock was evidently born in Tn. He never married but inherited some of the land when his father died. He died young in Marion Co., Ind.   24 Feb. 1835. He left his land and worldly good to his beloved mother, Sarah Matlock, and his little brother, George W Matlock. (This made guardianship papers necessary)

The following letter was supposedly written to the greatgrandmother of Mr. Thomas Matlock who sent a copy of it to me. If the letter was written to Anna Young Matlock, wife of George Matlock, it seems odd that her brother's name was Howell. Can anyone explain this ?JNA
Bethany, Mo. April 2/76 (1876)
Dear Sister
I received your letter the third day after it was written which found us all well but was sorry to hear of your misfortune. I think that I will start there about the 20th of this month if nothing happens. I would of started sooner but we are having the worst weather I ever saw in my life for the time of the year. More snow fell last week than we had all winter and yesterday it began to rain and the waters are high and the roads are imposible for teams therefore I will have to wait until the weather settles before I can start. I have not saw any of Crises family since I wrote my last letter but I hear that Betty is poorly and can hardly walk round the house to do anything. If you should get this letter in time for me to get answer from you, please let me know what point to get off on the Mississippi & Ohio Railroad to come to your town or what road Bloomington is on. Please write immediately to oblige yours
M.E. Howell to G.A. Medlock.
