Re: Alabama Matheny Information
Richard Alonzo Matheney 7/29/12
I'll look for more Matheny records tomorrow on Ancestry.com.But for the moment, it appears that Richard F Matheny's mother was Mary Gidley who was not Indian.My interest in the Gidley's stems from a marriage between the Gidley's and the Glover's.
It certainly appears that Mary's husband died very soon after the marriage since she only had one child (your ancestor).I checked the Alabama Archives Online for their Civil War Soldier's list, but did not see a J F Matheny.I also checked the Calhoun County AL Wall of Honor, but did not find any Matheny names. If Mary's husband died in the Civil War, then perhaps it was a death related to boot camp.
