Hello Mark,Sorry I did not answer you sooner about Mathew Short.I just checked this site today and noted your message.
As far as I know, my Short family never left the Madrid/Waddington NY area during their lifetime as they appear in each census.This is what I have learned about Mathew so far.He married Barbara MacCulloch in Lairg, Sutherland, Scotland in 1814.They had the following children:Nelly b. 1815
George b. 1817, Margaret b. 1819, John, b.1823, Thomas b. 1824, William b. 1829 and another John b. 1832.The family came to America in 1823 as Thomas was born in NY and John (the first one) was born in Lairg.
I am not aware of any of them leaving the area.Since my Shorts came from up in the Sutherland area of Scotland, they probably were not related to your Shorts.Sorry I could not be of more help.Holly Short [email protected]
