Descendants of Francis Mathews

Descendants of Francis Mathews

FORWORD:

To the cousins, one and all, I dedicate this, my Final Report of the Mathews Family in America.
I was appointed, as a Committee, at our meeting September 6, 1924, to trace and make a record of our families.
I now have the Record, authentic and completed, as copied from the records of the different families back to the birth of Jesse Mathews, Jan. 20, 1777. Back of 1777 is tradition and the stories do not agree. I have spent a lot of time and done a lot of research work trying to verify those stories. I find the name of Mathew is very old, being mentioned in Roman and Hebrew history. I find the name Mathew, with variation of spelling, was in common use as early as the 10th century among the Dutch, English, Scotch, and Irish. Scotch and Irish families played a prominent role in the early settlement of the Virginians and Carolinas. At least sixteen different writers have written up the different Scotch and Irish Mathews families in America.
The Dutch and English Mathews families were early settlers of New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut and a number of those families have been written of. The story of our ancestry came over in the Mayflower is a mistake after reading the History of the Mayflower. There was no name of Mathews in either the passenger list or crew.
It is a mistake that one of Herman Mathews' brothers went to California with the forty-niners. Herman was the only one of the brothers to desert the old home town.
I think Uncle Ed's [Edward Folsom Mathews] story is probably the correct one: Francis Matthews was of a good English family with a good education but got mixed with the political trouble of England at that time and came to the colonies in 1734 for his liberty and the good of his health. He maintained himself by teaching school, or tutoring as it was called in that day. He also farmed. He married soon after coming to the colonies and had two boys, Jesse and David Lester. The boys were married and had families. At the breaking out of the Revolution the boys joined the "Minute Men". Now I find in Volume V of the "Connecticut Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolution" just a brief statement.
Jesse Mathews, Waterbury, Connecticut. Capt. Monson, Co L Inf.
David Lester Mathews, Waterbury, Connecticut. Capt. Grant Co. Infantry. Entered service June 17, 1776. Discharged September 15, 1776.

David's services for his country consisted of ninety days. Both were in the battle of Long Island August 27, 1776. "The Battle of Long Island was one of the disastrous battles for the colonies, over four hundred men being killed and wounded." (Copied from the battles of the Revolutionary War.)
David Lester was wounded in the knee which made him a cripple for life. Later, he and his son, Jesse, were cutting down a tree. The tree fell unexpectedly and David, being lame, was unable to get out of the way and was killed. Neither David or any of his family received any pay for his services in the Revolutionary War. This accident happened when Jesse was sixteen years old, or in 1793.
As to names, you boys that call yourselves Frank are out of line for no Englishman would ever name a son Frank, as a frank is a small piece of English money and to call a person Frank is the same as calling small change your name. It should be Francis.
The English spell the name Matthews with two t's. A number of the Matthews families were loyal to the King, so if you find a family using two T's, they trace back to Tory ancestry. Soon after the Revolutionary War the Rebel Mathews passed a rule to drop the one T. So if you find a family spelling the name Mathews, that family traces back to Rebel ancestry. We probably have a number of relations in the East as both Jesse and David had large families, according to tradition, but I have not been able to trace them.
Now if any of you want to join the "Sons or Daughters of the Revolution", you can do so, as you can find the record of David Lester's services in Volume No. 5 of "Soldiers and Sailors of Connecticut in the Revolution".

Notes for Francis Mathews:
Information not noted with a source was obtained from the "FRANCIS MATHEWS FAMILY IN AMERICA 1734-1934" book. The book was compiled by Adolpheous Mathews and Birdie Mathews in 1934 (Geo. L. Tomlinson, printer, Mt. Pleasant, Henry Co, IA). Additional records were compiled by Elmer Glen Mathews from information received at the annual Mathews family reunions held 1882 - 2001. This information also does not contain a source since it comes directly from Mathews family members.

Notes for Herman Mathews:
Herman Mathews in 1863
The New London Journal Centennial 1875 - 1975
Page 191

Herman Mathews (1804-1883) was the son of Jesse Mathews (1777-1822) and Abiah Bradley Mathews (1779-1871) of Connecticut. At seventeen, he was apprenticed to a millwright, and later worked on the Eric Canal. Herman married Ann Lester (1804-1864), and they started west. He built mills in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois as they went.
Herman and Ann Mathews reached Iowa in 1838 and settled near the present town of West Point in Lee County. He built a saw mill on a creek there, but there was enough water for milling only in the spring, and the project was a financial failure. That first year was a disaster. Their grandson, Adolpheous Mathews, told the story this way:
"He raised a nice crop of wheat, got it all harvested and stacked. Upon arising one morning he found the fire had gone out and the flint and tinder used to start a fire with could not be found. This was before the invention of matches. He gave Francis a shovel and sent him across the field to borrow some fire. Francis coming back across the wheat stubble must have dropped a coal of fire, for when they came out after breakfast the whole stubble and stocks were burning. All that he had left was about five acres of sod corn and a small patch of buckwheat for his summer work . . . They had not been in their new home long before David, Henry, and Charles took down with scarlet fever. Charles never fully recovered from the effects of this scarlet fever. It left him deaf . . . "
Hiram Smith wanted a dam built at Lowell, so Herman Mathews and his family arrived at Lowell in 1839 to build the dam and mill.
The Mathews children were Francis, Jesse, David, Henry Clay, Charles, Edward, Mary Ann, Hiram, Bradley, Elizabeth, and Herman.
In the spring of 1845, Herman Mathews bought a farm near Danville, where he remained until his death in 1883. He and his sons at one time operated three pony saw mills - a circular saw driven by horse power, movable from place to place. He furnished part of the oak planks (at $12.50 per thousand board feet, delivered) for the Plank Road.

Francis Mathews married Almeda Patterson [Pattison]. Their youngest daughter was Lulu (1875-1960), who married George G. Miller (1872-1940). Their daughter was Almeda (Mrs. Ted) Whitham.

Jesse Mathews (1831-1918) bought a 300 acre farm in Canaan Township about 1864. Mathews' farm had been burned over in a prairie fire. He fenced the land and built barns, living in Steamboat House, the old inn on the Drovers Trail built to look like a river boat. He replaced this with "the most commodious house in the township" in 1882 - "eleven rooms and three large halls," said the 1906 BIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW. Jesse Mathews married Caroline Patterson [Pattison] of Indiana in 1856, and their children were Wilfred, Adolpheous, Emerson, Juston, Ella, Fay, and Effa. Adolpheous and his cousin Birdie Mathews (1880-1974) compiled the book, "Francis Mathews Family in America 1734-1934," from which some of this information has been taken. Emerson's children were Guy, Perry, and Milo Mathews. Effa married John Chandler, and their daughter was Thelma Hileman. Ella's son, Clark Linch, was the father of Irma (Mrs. Virgil) Cooper.

David Mathews (1833-1919) married Emily Shaw Booth (1834-1905) and lived north of Danville. Among their children was Perle Lester Mathews (1868-1909) who married Belle Ramsey (1878-1964), daughter of George and Irene Linn Ramsey; June (Mrs. Earl) Anderson, Roy, and Virgil (1908-1970) were their children.

Henry Clay Mathews (1835-1897) married Cyrene Dodds (1842-1933). Their children included Howard, Warren, Willis, Birdie, and Fred. Grace (Mrs. Paul) Kellar was the daughter of Howard and Emma Gugeler Mathews. Birdie Mathews taught in Danville school for 47 years.

Mary Ann Mathews (1840-1926), who was the first white child born in the village of Lowell, married James Robertson. Their children were Charles, James, and Clara. Charles Robertson (1863-1950) married Irene Holland (1875-1948) and their children were Lucille, Leland, and Cleo. James Robertson married Lora Brandmeyer (born 1883) and their children were Kenneth and Eugene. Clara Robertson (1877-1956) married Harry Hamilton (1872-1956) and their children were William, Lester, and Dorothy Ralston. Lester Hamilton is Des Moines County Supervisor.

Elizabeth Mathews (1845-1909) married George Marion Smith (1841-1904) and lived near Mt. Union. Their children were Myra, James, Herman, Bert, Marion, and Noble.

Notes for Susanna A. Spry:
Obituary of Susan A. (Spry) Mathews
From records compiled by Elmer Glen Mathews from Mathews family reunions held 1882 - 2001
No newspaper source named

Susan A. Mathews, the daughter of John L. and Mary Spry was born in Zanesville, Ohio, on January 10, 1846 and departed this life after a brief illness at her home in Mt. Pleasant on March 3, 1924, at the age of 78 years 1 month and 23 days.
Mrs. Mathews was the second daughter in a family of seven children two of whom preceded her in death. Those remaining are A.L. Spry of Seattle, Washington; Mrs. Tina Brewster of Omaha, Nebraska; Mrs. Mina Halloran of San Jose, California; and Harlan T. Spry of Sious City, Iowa.
Mrs. Mathews was one of the early pioneers of Henry County [Iowa], coming with her parents in the early fifties when but a child. The family made the journey from Zanesville, Ohio, in the old time prairie schooner, the principal method of pioneer travel in those days, and settled in Canaan Township some seven miles northeast of Mt. Pleasant. There the deceased grew to womanhood. On March 24, 1870 at the age of 24 years, she was united in marriage to Mr. Hiram Mathews of Danville, Iowa. To this union were born six children, three of whom survive to mourn the loss of a Christian mother whose life and example have been an unmeasured blessing to them during these many years. Three of her children with the father and husband preceded their mother to the better world; J. F. the eldest, died in the full strength of manhood in 1906 at the age of thirty-four years. William, another son, died in infancy and a daughter Lula, at the age of four years.
Hiram S. Mathews, husband and father, a well known and respected citizen of the county passed away on November 23, 1923, at Mt. Pleasant where having retired from the farm they made their home for eleven years.
Mrs. Mathews was a Christian woman having accepted Christ in girlhood and united with the church at old Wesley Chapel where her parents were active in the support of the church and the work of the Lord. After marriage Mr. and Mrs. Mathews moved on a farm in the neighborhood of Trinity Chapel now connected with Mt. Union charge, where for many years she lived and labored. She gave herself in loving care to her growing family as a good mother and at the same time rendered service due to other with work of the Lord. In relations with her family and neighbors where she was highly respected for her Christian character and good work.
After moving from the farm Mr. and Mrs. Mathews transferred their membership to the church in Mt. Pleasant where they each remained in fellowship until God called them through death to higher fellowship of the church triumphant in the mansion of the Eternal City.
Mrs. Mathews was a woman of strong constitution and good health during the years of her active life, not until the last illness in which her life passed out, had she been ill as to need the nursing care of another. There is no little comfort to the beloved children to know that mother was given so many years of buoyant, healthy living and that when the bodily forces failed she was saved months and possibly years of suffering. Her going has brough to these children and other loved ones the usual shock and bereavement but they may comfort their hearts and temper their sorrow with the fact that mother has been transformed to the life where sickness cannot come and where suffering gives way to abounding life and the joy which is unspeakable and full of glory.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church in Mt. Pleasant at 2:00 P. M. Thursday in charge of the pastor who spoke briefly from Psalms 90: "Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Dwelling Place". Dr. T. J. Myers, an old friend of the family, followed with a beautiful tribute to the life and character of the deceased. A male quartet from the church sang several of the old Hymns and a number of old friends and neighbors were present.

Notes for Frank H. Mathews:
Mathews, Frank H.
Landmarks of Wayne County
By: George W. Cowles, 1895
Page 83

Mathews, F. H. [Frank], elder son of Lawson Mathews, at present one of the largest land holders of his native town. He was educated at Leavenworth Institute, where he took the highest contested prize for scholarship and ability in his department during two successive years, and was awarded a full regents certificate at fifteen years of age. After a long course in the special study of jurisprudence, and as confidential clerk for William Morrow and E. M. Walker, esq., Mr. Mathews was admitted to the bar in 1881. Mathews is of old Puritan stock, his ancestors emigrating for conscience sake in the times of "Merrie Monarch" and afterwards resisted British oppression upon the battlefields of the Revolution.
Jesse Mathews and Lucius Hibbard, who are respectively his paternal and maternal grandfathers, were two of the six pioneers who came from New Hartford, Connticutt in 1809 and 1810, and settled upon that portion of the Clyde road running south from Walcott village, and hence known as New Hartford street. The old Mathews homestead, one mile south of Wolcott, is one of those rare pieces of property which has never changed ownership only by the laws of natural succession.
Jesse Mathews died while supervisor of his adopted town before the formation of Wayne County. His wife, Alice [Abiah] Mathews, died on the old homestead in 1871 in her ninety-third year, after fifty years of widowhood.
Lucius Hibbard lived to become the wealthiest farmer in the town of Butler, and was well-known as an active Abolitionist in ante-bellum days.
Owing to lung weakness and consequent ill health, F. H. Mathews was compelled to abandon his chosen profession and see relief in a warmer climate. In 1886, while principal of the high school in Seddon, Alabama, he married Mollie E., the elder daughter of Willis H. Roberson, a prominent citizen and politician of Saint Clair County, and formerly an office in the 10th Alabama C.S.A. Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Mathews was a local correspondent for the Lyons Republican for ten years.
Subsequently he has written several series of letters to the local press from Florida in the industrial centers of the New South. In 1892 Mr. Mathews purchased the old Moore farm, and now resides adjoining his ancestral homestead, upon which his aged father is passing his more than three score years and ten in peace and comfort.
