OK. Here goes.The connection is fuzzy at best.James Matthews, one of my forebears and one whom I do have a lot of information on did have a "stint" in Surrey or Surry Co., NC., allegedly.Apparently, James Matthews, b. Oct. 23, 1766, had to pay a "Bastardy Bond" to Susannah Lakey in the aforementioned county in NC in 1793.Now, as far as I know, he had no son by the name of James, but that doesn't mean much, considering the scant information from that period.He did have children by the name of Robert Calvin, C. Marshall, etc., etc.I have that information if you want to pursue, including parentage and siblings.Susannah's son's name was apparently Mark Lakey.My James later shows up in Stewart Co., TN, and had a number of direct relations in Maury Co., TN.So there you have it.Do you wish to pursue?If so let me know:[email protected]
