Descendants of
Francis Mathews
FORWORD:
To the cousins, one and all, I dedicate
this, my Final Report of the Mathews Family in
I was appointed, as a Committee,
at our meeting
I now have the Record, authentic and
completed, as copied from the records of the different families back to the
birth of Jesse Mathews,
The Dutch and English Mathews
families were early settlers of
It is a mistake that one of Herman
Mathews' brothers went to
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
Jesse Mathews,
David Lester Mathews,
David's services for his
country consisted of ninety days. Both were in the battle of
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.

Mathews reached
"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 . . . "

come and where suffering gives way to abounding life and the joy which is
unspeakable and full of glory.
