    • NOTE 1./
      Samuel((4)) (John((3)), Samuel((2)), Samuel((1))) <> Samuel ((4)) married several times. In Essex records, 1720, there is a bond dated 1706 from Samuel Mathews, of St. Stephen's parish, King and Queen County, to Major George Braxton for the benefit of Elizabeth Mary Mathews((5)), "whom I had by my deceased wife." In Samuel Mathews' will (November 16, 1718), proved in Richmond County, he refers to this bond as "executed" from him "the day I was married to Katherine Dunstall when I was very much in drink." By his first marriage he also had John, died s. p., Baldwin, died s. p. By his second marriage he had no issue. He married, third, Margaret (who survived him, and she married William Shrime). Issue by third marriage, Francis, died s. p. Still-born child, unnamed.

      Elizabeth((5)) (Samuel((4)), John((3)), Samuel((2)), Samuel((1))) married Moseley Battaley, and in 1751 her son, Samuel Battaley, of Spottsylvania, was heir-at-law to his mother, "the only surviving heir-at-law of her father, Samuel Mathews." Deed recorded in King George, conveying 2,000 acres in Richmond County patented in 1654 by Lieutenant-Colonel Samuel Mathews, which descended to his grandson Samuel, who made his will November 16, 1718. (Quarterly, V, p. 277.)
