NOTE 1./ from James Ham & Family at<>

Moses Mathews was a gunsmith and maker of fine guns.
From: "A Genealogical History of the Mathews Family from a Remote Period to the Present Time" as compiled by Dr. James C. Mathews (now deceased), Greenville, Georgia. "Moses Mathews was born in Virginia in 1725. In 1753/54 he married Sarah Finley. Their first child James was born in Virginia in 1755. He moved his wife and firstborn to Winfield County, South Carolina and settled on the Broad River near Winsboro. In 1760/61 he bought a tract of land where he later built a gun shop where he could repair and manufacture guns. During the Revolutionary War his shop became a Government shop for the Colonial Government. He made and repaired guns for General Sumpter's command. Just before the end of the war his home was raided by the Tories. His stock of horses was stolen and his home, gun shop, his shop books, accounts, and family records were burned. He may not have been fully paid for his services and for materials furnished during the war. There is an account against the Government for $18,000.00 which was never fully paid. The only payment he ever received was a land grant of several hundred acres in then Wilkes County, (now Lincoln County) Georgia. In 1784 he was granted 270 acres on Lloyd's Creek. He built a home here with his family where he conducted a large farming interest until his death in 1806. He was one of the wealthiest men in Georgia in his day. He and his wife, along with other family members, are buried in a churchyard near his home.
From "Roster of Revolutionary Soldiers in Georgia" compiled by Mrs. Howard H. McCall, published by the Georgia Society Daughters of the American Revolution, 1968: "Moses Mathews, b. Halifax Co., Va., 1725; d. Wilkes Co., Ga.1806. Was a Rev. Sol.; served as a gunsmith in Gen. Sumpter's S.C. Regiment; received grant of land in Ga. for his service. Mar. in Va.,Sarah Findley."

NOTE 8./ The Year Was 1780 Historical time frame:

The year was 1780 and the American Revolution wasn't going well for the Americans in the South. British forces captured Charleston and 5,400 American troops garrisoned there. During the siege, South Carolina Governor John Rutledge managed to escape and when word reached the British General Cornwallis, he sent Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton to chase Rutledge and troops under Colonel Abraham Buford who were escorting him to North Carolina. Tarleton's men caught up with Buford's troops near the Waxhaws District six miles south of the North Carolina state line, as Governor Rutledge continued north. Buford's men put up a brief fight during which Tarleton's horse was shot from under him. As the American troops began to surrender, Tarleton's men, thinking he had been killed began renewed their attack on the surrendering Americans. More than one hundred men were killed outright and perhaps another hundred died of their wounds shortly after.

Up to that point, most thought that the South was going to remain loyal to Britain, but the Waxhaws Massacre became a rallying point for the rebels, with "Tarleton's Quarter" becoming synonymous with "no mercy."

The divisions in the South were apparent in the Battle of King's Mountain, which was fought between two American forces--Tories under the command of Major Patrick Ferguson, and the "Overmountain Men," American frontiersmen from what is now Tennessee and parts of Virginia. The Americans surrounded the Tories and this time it was they who gave "no quarter" to the surrendering Tory troops. Eventually American officers were able to reign in the troops and the battle was over. The defeat was a turning point in the Revolution in the South and forced General Cornwallis to retreat further south.

To the north, a British spy was captured with correspondence revealing that Benedict Arnold, who had recently been given command of West Point, planned to surrender it to the British. When news that the spy had been caught reached Arnold, he fled to the safety of a British ship and became a brigadier-general for the British, siding with them for the remainder of the war.

There was trouble in England as well. In 1778 a Catholic Relief Act had been passed, which reversed some of the Penal Laws of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. It allowed Roman Catholics to join the armed forces with an oath amenable to Catholics and gave them the ability to hold longer leases on land. It also ended the requirement that a Catholic distribute his lands evenly among his sons upon his death. The Catholic Relief Acts weren't popular with some Protestants though and in 1780 Lord George Gordon established the Protestant Association in 1780. In June of that year an estimated 60,000 people marched on the House of Commons demanding the Relief Acts be repealed. The huge crowd turned violent and a week of rioting left two hundred and ninety people dead, and devasted Roman Catholic churches and related buildings, as well as the homes of prominent Catholics and supporters of the legislation. Troops had to be called in to end the rioting. Twenty-five of the leaders of the riot were hanged, but Gordon was found "not guilty" of treason.

May 19th was a dark day in New England--literally. A low-lying dark cloud that at times had a yellow and at times reddish hue descended on New England and was noted from Maine to as far south as New Jersey. It was darkest around northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire and Maine, where it became so dark that candles needed to be lit to see. The cause is thought to have been a combination of low clouds that mixed with smoke and ash from a forest fire, but at the time it wasn't known and the event caused panic for many.

New England's dark day was a minor event though in comparison to the hurricane season of 1780. Eight storms struck in various parts of America and the Caribbean. British fleets off American shores took heavy hits during several storms. (Hurricanes in the 1780s were the cause of more British Naval losses than battle.) The worst storm struck on October 10th devastating Barbados and the Windward Islands, and claiming an estimated 22,000 lives.

Nancy (daughter of ThomasSr NELSON and Susannah WOODWARD) was born in 1771 in Fairfield District, South Carolina; died in 1850 in Crawford County, Georgia; was buried in Providence Cemetery, Roberta, Crawford County, Georgia.

Notes:

NOTE 1./ <>
The senior James Matthews, a Virginian by birth, was a prominent Baptist minister of Wilkes
County, Georgia, where he resided when his son James was born. The father brought up his children
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and manifested a peculiar anxiety for their salvation.
His hope in this regard, however, was delayed until they were all grown and chiefly settled in families.
James, the son, was the first of the household in whose conversion these parental solicitudes found
their fruition. He united with the Clerk's Station church, in that county, in 1825. His mind was
drawn to the ministry from the earliest stages of his Christian experience, and his ordination occurred
four years later in 1829. For ten years he prosecuted his pulpit labors with faithfulness and success,
in the bounds of the Georgia Association. He moved in 1839 to Stewart County, and resided there until
his death in March, 1848, being one of the most prominent and influential ministers in the Bethel
Association, and for three sessions proceding his demise, its Moderator, namely in 1844, 1845 and 1847.
He was pastor of the Lumpkin Church for several years, of the Eufaula Church for two or three, and of
Benevolence Church, Randolph County, from its constitution until his death. His removal to Stewart
County led to a great increase of his zeal in the ministry. There were then but few churches in that
part of the State, and the vast amount of destitution impressed him with the importance of engaging at
once more fully in the work of preaching and organizing new churches. He delighted in holding protracted meetings, was always ready for whatever evangelistic service he could render for the diffusion of saving truth, and saw the crown of a marked blessing from the Lord placed on his humble but earnest life.

NOTE 2./ JamesJr Newton Mathews, Rev

Rev. James Mathews entered the ministry when a young man, and for a time preached in "Wilkes county. Moving from there to Stewart county, he bought a plantation in the vicinity of Lumpkin, and for many years carried on farming with the help of slaves.

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]

"DAUGHTERS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETS CITED"

Two daughters of Revolutoionary War veterans, buried in Coffee County, were honored by having DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) markers dedicated at their graves.
The first marker was dedicated to Mrs. Elizabeth Horn Cole, who is buried in Cole Cemetery..........
Mrs. Susannah Mathews Ham was the second Revolutionary War daughter honored. She is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Elba, at the side of her husband, James Ham.
Among those attending the dedication of this marker were a number of her great-granddaughters.
The program followed the same order as the first dedication. The personal tribute was given by Mrs. Mary Brunson for her great grandmother. The dedication was again given by Mrs. Annie Lorrie Stutts, DAR state historian.
Mrs. Ham was both a daughter and a granddaughter of Revolutionary War soldiers. Her father, Philip Mathews, was a militiaman in General Marion's Brigade. Her grandfather, Moses Mathews, was a gunsmith in Gen. Sumter's Brigade. Her great grandfather was Gov. Samuel Mathews of Virginia........she has been described as a lady of charm, dignity and character, representing Southern Ladyship at its best

NOTE 2./ taken from James Ham & Family at <>

Susannah's GGGGrandfather was Samuel Mathews, Jr., Governor of the Virginia Colony:

LDS AFN: J5PP-WL
Came to Virginia before 1618.
Member, House of Burgesses, 1623.
Councellor, 1648.
Governor, 1657-1659.
Coat of Arms: in file.
Samuel MATHEWS, Jr, Governor of Virginia, was born in Virginia about 1630 to Samuel MATHEWS and Frances GREVILLE. He attained the military rank of Lieutenant Colonel by 1652 and was appointed to the Council in 1655, a position he held until 1657.
He was married and had one child:
1. John, died before 1 May 1706, VA; married Elizabeth TAVERNOR, 24 Mar 1684
It is believed that his wife was of the Cole-Digges family.
He attained the military rank of Lieutenant Colonel by 1652 and was appointed to the Council in 1655, a position he held until 1657. He was elected to succeed Edward Digges as Governor of Virginia in December 1656, but did not assume office until early 1657.
Mathews' tenure as governor was marked by periodic clashes between the young chief executive and the Virginia House of Burgesses. When in 1658 Mathews and his Council attempted to dissolve the Assembly, the Burgesses, claiming that the governor did not possess that authority, decided to ignore the dissolution order. Mathews and the Council were unable to resist this show of strength, and they eventually yielded when the Assembly called for a new election. Despite his attempt to test the Assembly's power. Mathews was re-elected, probably because he indicated his willingness to co-operate with the effort of the Lower house to seek "confirmation of their present priviledges." Shortly before Mathews' death in January 1660, however, Richard Cromwell resigned as Lord Protector of England, a development which cast into confusion the political status of the Assembly in particular and the colony of Virginia in general.

"Virginia Biography"
Governor of Virginia from March 13, 1658, to his death in January 1660. Born in England about 1600 and came to Virginia in 1618.
Historians and genealogists who have attempted to identify Governor Samuel Mathews of Virginia, who died in office in January, 1659/60, have assumed that his induction on March 13, 1657/8 was the beginning of his services as Governor, and, because of the youth of Lieutenant Colonel (afterwards Colonel) Samuel Mathews, Junior, it has been assumed, wrongly, that the Governor was Captain Samuel Mathews, Senior. The young Samuel Mathews, Jr., could not have been over 25 or 26 years of age when be became Governor. This would seem incredible did we not know something of the circumstances surrounding the man. Samuel Mathews Junior was a Lieutenant Colonel and a Burgiss from Warwick County in 1652. In 1655 he was elevated to the Council, and as we have seen, to the chair of Governor in 1657.
I have 10 pages of research to substantiate this.
Residence was at "Denbigh," on Deep Creek, Warwick County, where he had a fine house and employed many servants. Mathews seat was not always called Denbigh because on 13 Nov., 1626, the Court ordered William Ramshaw to go "down to Mathewes-Manor and work at the trade of a blacksmythe."
"proved back in the forties by Minnie Cook that the Governor was Samuel Mathews II. It was reproved by John Frederick Dorman in the 70's or 80's by following the Mathews deeds. There is a deed in King George's Co,. VA that lays out the entire history of the land."

First Governor of Virginia to be elected by the House of Burgess, during Cromwell's Protectorate.

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.

Notes:

From "Descendants of William J. Ham" compiled by Warren Hamm:

"P.J. Ham, reared on the farm in Coffee County, received but a limited education because of the early death of his father. He enlisted in March of 1862 in Company A., 33rd Alabama for one year and spent the first few months in Pensacola. He was in Corinth soon after the battle there, then was sent on the Kentucky campaign, and back to Murfreesboro, TN. This was the first general engagement in which he participated. At Chickamauga he was wounded in the foot and disabled for six or seven months at home. He rejoined his command at Dalton, in 1864, and fought on to Peachtree Creek, where he lost his left arm. He was sent home and a few weeks later brought to the hospital in Atlanta. Since his recovery he has lived near and at Elba. Through his efforts he has become one of the largest landowners in the county, owning some three thousand acres. A large portion of which is under cultivation."
