Hello Georgia -- I do not have those specific Matthews in my database.However there is only one Matthews family listed in the 1850 McMinn County census and they are connected to my family, so I'm theorizing that the Matthews that you listed are likely connected to them.They are the family of Aaron (1794 - 1838) and Mary Sands (b. ca 1798) Sands Matthews.I only have five children listed for them -- the children who are listed in the 1850 census (Mary was widowed by then) -- but there may have been older ones. Aaron is the son of James and Susanna Laughlin Matthews, both of whom originated in NC, but migrated to Blount County, Tennessee.He was both a trustee and Postmaster of McMinn County during his lifetime.Interestingly, Aaron has brothers by the name of George and John, although they would have been in the generation preceding the one that you are referring to.Much of my information came from IGI, so you might check there.Happy hunting!!!!
