Matthews of Kintyre
There were (according to one report) 4 o5 five Matthews brothers that came to PEI from Kintyre Scotland about 1771.
One was John Matthews who settled in Malpeque. Some knowledge is documented about him but little is known about his son Archibald b. 1787.
John may have had a brother Archibald as well. They would have been born 1745-1760??? If you can add anything to this I'd appreciate hearing from you.
There may be ship records for the years 1770-1772??? Kintyre family may know of stories of 4 or 5 Matthews brothers who left for America. Some have spelled and pronounced the name as: Mathis, Mathus, etc. at the time.
