I am not sure if this will help or not, but there is a lady Faye Johnston, e-mail "[email protected]" who seems to be researching the same names - her George Newman was b 1789 VA and Brother 1791 VA then Hannah & Thomas B were b 1796 and 1798 KY - My name was spelled "Mathews" but some of the family does spell "Matthews" - I am trying to find Thomas H - His wife was Lula K - His father was John Mathews B abt 1845 - died 1/14/1879 - his mother was Elizabeth Sehon (spelling could very well be incorrect) She was born 8/2/1841 D 12/28/1915 & is bruied Harper Springs Cemetery in Huttig Ark -- Can't find anything on Sehon's but the brothers of John were supposed to be Isom, Sam, Houston -- The story goes that they came frm MO into Hot Springs Co Ark then to union Co Ark - Then traveled back and forth from Union Co Ark to Union Parish LA -- The 1900 Union Co Ark Census shows Thomas Mathews Sept 1866 33 yrs old -- Lula K wife Oct 1872 27 yrs old - Son JOhn H (this was my grandfather) Sept 1889-10 yrs old-- son George W Son Apr 1892 8 yrs old -- Albert C son Oct 1893 6 yrs old--William P son June 1893 5 yrs old-- Winnie S May 1899 1yr old -- Last apparently dies youn Winnie S is buried at Harper Springs Cemetery and tombstone says "son" -- If you have any info on any of these, I would greatly appreciate it - thanks Ella
