My ggggrandmother was Elizabeth Ann Matthews, born somwhere in Tenn in 1799.She married Joel Epperson there in 1818.They went to Alabama where two sons were born, Robert 1822, and Jahiel 1825. Next info I have has Eliabeth giving birth to her first child by second husband Joshua Abbott in 1832 in Benton Co, Ark.All were in Calif by 1857 leaving many relatives behind.A letter received from a nephew of Joshua and Elizabeth in 1867 from Cincinnati, Washington Co, Ark, said that grandma Matthews was dead as were many other relatives. They had been robbed of everything and killed.The letter also said that other relatives had scattered to Missouri, Kansas, and Texas.Since I am a decendant of those who went to Calif, I know very little of those left behind.I would like to find someone who might know something about those families. Your inquiry has possibilities. If we happen to connect I would gladly share info.
