Alexander Matthews was born 1809, Malpeque or Bedeque, PEI, to John Matthews and Margaret Taylor.
It sounds as though Charles was his brother.
Alexander and Mary's children were Charles, Henry J, Mary Weeks, CN Gordon. Because of the Weeks name, I would think they were connected to the Weeks family name also..in fact when I reviewed further, Mary's brother, Henry J. married Mary Jane Weeks, and her parents were John Weeks, Esq and Amelia Gordon...so there's a tie to CN Gordon also! I haven't quite figured the connection yet!
Mary's sister, Sally Ann married Hector (Solomon) McNeill, son of Charles McNeill and Elizabeth Matthews.
Brother, Henry Matthews, married Jane McNeill, but I don't know who her parents were.
Some of the Matthews/McNeill children married Matthews/McNeill....your Barbara Annie McNeill maybe related to some of the McNeill since so many of them were married to Matthews.
Sally Ann's son, Henry, married Elizabeth Matthews. I don't know who her parents were. Her son Samuel, married Ellen Matthews. I don't know who her parents were!(Their daughter Gertrude married Henry Matthews, son of Charles (b. 1835 and Margaret Jane Brander, son of Alexander Matthews and Mary Matthews) of Alberton. So as you can see there was a lot of intermarriage...and all in Alberton. I have more McNeill/Matthews marriages than this even, and I'm still trying to make connections to unknown Matthews and McNeills.
