Hi Debbie --
Thank you so much for responding to my query!I am so happy to see someone else who knows of the name Job Matheny, but I'm afraid I'm more confused than ever.
-- I have had the name of Nancy Cooke in my files as provided by a cousin who is also working on the genealogy, who appears to be Job's first wife.I have a copy of the marriage certificate of Job Matheny and Nancy Cooke (as spelled on the certificate).
-- I have another name in the files, that of Judith Dinkins, who is my ancestor, Clement's mother. I only know that she was born circa 1804 in New Hampshire (census).Also,"There is a Judith Matheny in death book.Died Sept 13, 1887.Widow.Age 83y 4m 3d.Born New Hampshire.Resident of Illinois for 60 years.Buried Wilson Graveyard - Hardin Co., IL.Source:e-mail from Marion Lavender Reynolds"
-- Job and Nancy were married in 1822.Clement was born in 1828 to Job and Judith.
-- Job and Judith Mathena (as spelled on the census) are listed in the 1850 census of Hardin County, Illinois.He is 49, born in NC; she is 46, born in NH.Listed with them are Ellen Mathena, age 11, born in IL; Judith Mathena, age 8, born in IL; Polly Mattingly, age 3, born in IL.
-- You have Nancy in Christian County, Kentucky with Sarah - 15, Thos. L - 13, and John J. - 10.I don't have a copy of that census, but can I assume that is says Nancy Matheny and that those children also have that last name?Does it show Job there?
-- I have a marriage record for Clem Matheny where he lists his father has Job Matheney and his mother simply as Dinkins.It shows his birthplace as Steward County, Tennessee.
-- 1860 Johnson County, Illinois census shows Clem Matheny born circa 1828 in KY
So the above leaves me with a few choices:
1.There is more than one Job Matheny floating around.
2.There is only one Job Matheny and he was a very busy, well travelled man
**
Other than that, I'd be happy to share from Job's son Clem/Clement/Clemmons down.
