To whom it may concern:
I am looking for ancestors of Matthew Stacy Redding born about 1883.
Several family trees list him as either Matthew Stacy, Matthew S. and Matthew L. Redding. The earliest source record I have found is an 1860 Federal Census showing his resident as Jacksonville, Morgan County, Illinois. On 4 Jul 1852 Matthew married Sarah Jane Dean of Morgan County, Illinios (born in Virginia). They had the following children; John L. 1857, Mare E. 1859, Oliver Perry 1861, Jacob 1864 - 1934, Charles 1867, George 1869, Rosa 1871, James M. 1873, and Rufus Chsuing 1875 (my great grandfather).
Several family trees list Jacob Redding of Morgan County, Illinois as Matthew's Father. However, I can find no source documentation. In an 1860 Federan Census the birthplace of Matthew's parents is listed as Alabama.
Another source indicates Jacob Redding was from Germany.
