James Elmer Matthews abt 1903 to 1980 Tennessee
I need help with this person:
James Elmer Matthews was born about 1903. He died 17 Oct 1980, Morristown, Hamblen County, Tennesse. He was the widower of Katherine Drinnon Walker Seal.
He and she had Margie M. Matthews who married Roy Trent, Jr. called Junior. Margie just died a few months ago.
Katherine and her first husband, William E. Walker were my grandparents. William E. Walker died of T.B. while Katherine was expecting my mother. My mother's death record gives her father's name and that he was deceased.
Katherine married 2nd Tom Seal on 18 Apr 1933 Hancock Co. TN. He was 40 and she was 22. They were only married a short time.
Even though I have James E. Matthews and Katherine and them having Margie M., I cannot find them on the 1940 census. Margie was born June 14, 1937, Church Hill, Hawkins Co. TN.
They should be in Hawkins, Hamblen, Greene, Hancock etc. but I can't find them anywhere.
Any help would be appreciated in finding them in 1940. They were quite poor and undeducated and I think they should be in that immediate area.
