IN THE FUNERAL ENTRIES, VOL. VII., P. 18, PRESERVED IN THE RECORD TOWER AT DUBLIN, THE NAME OF CAPTAIN GEORGE MATHEW IS SPELT "MATTHEWES." SHORTLY AFTER HIS DECEASE HIS WIDOW ENTERED THE ORDER OF ST. BENEDICT AND OB. A NUM, CIRC. 1675. HAVING ACCEPTED THE FOREGOING AS THE RELEVANT AUTHORITY FOR THIS CAPTAIN GEORGE MATHEW, IT WOULD BE WELL, AT THIS POINT TO QUOTE DIRECTLY FROM SOME OTHER SOURCES WHICH ARE IN SLIGHT CONFLICT WITH THE SAME, CHIEFLY IN POINTS OF SPELLING, BUT ALSO IN THAT THEY ONLY MENTION HIS HAVING HAD ONE MARRIAGE. "GEORGE, ELDEST SON OF EDMOND MATHEW OF RADYR MARRIED IN 1620, HIS FIRST COUSIN, MARY, DAU. OF SIR T. POYNTZ, OF ACTON, CO.

AND FINALLY, "GEORGE MATHEW OF RADYR, WHICH HE SOLD, AND MIGRATED TO IRELAND, AND WAS OF THURLES, CAPTAIN. BY THE KINDNESS OF SIR B. BURKE THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT IS APPENDED: "GEORGE MATTHEWS OF THURLES IN THE COUNTY OF TIPPERARY, IN THE KINGDOM OF IRELAND, ESQ., S. AND H. OF EDMOND M.
