NOTE 2./ Historical Perspective thru the Presidency of the United States of America:

Andrew Jackson was President in 1832 when he ordered all Indians east of the Mississippi, to be moved West. This was one of the sadest edicts of this and for all time in the History of the United States. Andrew Jackson imposed his will on the Presidency, the people, the banking industry and the landscape of America. He was not a good delegator, and fired the members of his Cabinet, in some instances several times, when they would not do his exact bidding. He was a born fighter and dualed several times, and had two lead balls in his body from these contests. Jackson was censured by his Democratic Party for firing 3 Secretary of the Treasurys in order to change the Federal Banking methods. He was the only President to be censured. He was given the name "Jackass" by his Party, which soon became the symbol assumed by his Democratic Party. He was the first and last President to leave the Government debt free at his parting. Andrew Jackson used the Presidential veto 12 times, supassed only by Andrew Johnson (25), who took over after the assassination of Lincoln. As a final note, Johnson later missed being impeached by only one vote, because he did not want to punish the South, after the Civil War.

Summary of Slave census data:
The number of slaves owned by Enoch Mathews indicates his vast wealth for this time period. Since there is no information discovered so far indicating where, when or how he acquired the slaves, it has to be assumed that some of the aforementioned lot were brought from South Carolina, for which Charleston was a major slave trading center. His migration from South Carolina to Jones, then Crawford County Georgia was prior to 1824, since the place of birth of his first son Moses, is given as Georgia.

Enoch married Nancy MATHEWS on 11 Feb 1819 in Gray, Jones County, Georgia. Nancy (daughter of Micajah MATHEWS and Mary CROUCH) was born in 1802 in Barnwell County, South Carolina; died after 12 Jun 1880 in Crawford County, Georgia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
