Perry, I am a descendant of Milton Matthews and have pretty good records of this family. But, I don't have any direct information on Margaret.My records don't show Milton as having a daughter named Margaret.If she was born in 1857, I don't think her father and uncle were Milton and Allen.Milton was born in 1802 [died after 1870], and married Elizabeth Gaithright in 1820. His brother Allen was born in 1789 and died in 1841. The dates don't work well as you can see.Milton did have a son, John Milton Matthews who was born in 1830 and was a Justice of the Peace. Perhaps, he was her father and Allen was her great-uncle [or John Milton may even have had a son named Allen]. Allen was a lawyer and gold miner as you reported. Additionally, he was the grandfather of Allen Candler, a former governor [1898-1902] of the State. My records of Milton's children is mostly limited to his son William Miles Matthews [my GGGrandfather]. I do know that he had 4 sons, [Cephus W. and Daniel James, being the other two], and 5 daughters [Martha, Mary, Elizabeth, Jane and Caroline... all born between 1821 and 1835]. A review of my very limited records of Allen Matthews and his wife Margaret Elton Matthews reveals they had 10 childred including a son, Allen B., and a daughter, Margaret E. But again, since Allen senior died in 1841 he wasn't your Margaret's uncle [or father] if she was born in 1857. Since she was a Matthews, I will list Allen's 5 sons: Phineas Daniel, Allen B., B. F., Jefferson, and William. Unfortunately, I have no record of their children.Hopefully, out of all of this you can find something that you can use. Most of this info came from family bibles and census data.Your info about this group of Matthews having roots in Jackson County, Ga is correct. Several of us still live either there or in nearby Athens. Let me know if I can be of help.
