John Mathews and Tabitha Martha Gilson were married 4 june 1841 in Upson county Georgia. I believe John's father was John Mathews who also was in Scott co in 1850 and 1860. John and Tabitha ,I think, had two daughters Mary, number 1, born about 1845 who married Hiram Welch and they moved to Natchez after the war and Martha who married Hiram after Mary died. I know Martha's parents were John and Tabitha because Ben and Lod are listed on the 1880 census in Natchez as brothers in law living with Hiram and Martha. The part of them being sisters was handed down by my grandmother who was Hiram and Martha's oldest son Walter. Hope this helps. Still looking for the Gilson family.
