Alan - I found Salmon H Matthews 1830 Roll 69 Book 1 p 161b in Dexter.In 1840 Dexter there is no Salmon but there is an A Matthews Roll 211 Book 1 p 56a (there is only one page availble for Dexter in 1840) so maybe this is widow Arabella. (Arabella Bond m Salmon H Matthews 22 Oct 1825 Conway, Franklin, MA - MA marriage recs at Ancestry)A couple of books I have say he came first to Webster 19 May 1827, did not stay there very long, and then moved to Dexter.His widow married John Westfall of Lima & she is found in Lima, Washtenaw 1850 as Arabella Westfall, widow, with Arabella Matthews 14, & her Westfall children.In 1880 she is with dau Angeline Matthews in Ann Arbor.Salmon was a Judge in 1835 Dexter so perhaps he died between 1835 & 1840 when she is alone in the census. The book says he brought his mother-in-law, Mrs. Bond and two of Arabella's sisters with him - one married Samuel W Dexter, founder of Dexter. An infant child William W Matthews died 14 Aug 1828.
There are some more tidbits in the books....I can print the census and book pages and snail them to you if you would like.....please email me at [email protected].
If you haven't already, you might check the MI Genweb for Washtenaw & also contact the Dexter & Chelsea Libraries....they always seem to have quite a bit of info.... and the Washtenaw County Gen. Society --- they may have the book you are looking for and there is always some kind soul there to help.
From Dibean Marriage Index:
Annabella Matthews married Charles G Clark 15 Jan 1856
Angeline Matthews m Leocium B Stewart 16 Oct 1869
sister Millicent Bond m Samuel William Dexter 11 Aug 1828
sister Hannah Bond m Asa Williams 12 Dec 1830
Ann Arbor Directories 1886-7 & 1888-9Mathews, Angeline, widow of Salmon, Res 22 N Division....maybe her name was Arabella Angeline ??
Hope some of this helps!Vicky in AZ
