NOTE 1./

The Great Plague struck England in the summer of 1665.

First, it should be understood that many epidemic diseases are constantly present in the population, with some years of significant mortality and others of only scattered occurrence. For example, the
bubonic plague had already had noticeable outbreaks in London in 1630, 1636, and 1647, but few years were without any plague deaths. Thus, you should not dismiss a cause of death from a disease you
usually associate with epidemics as erroneous just because it wasn't during a major outbreak.

One of the supporting conditions of epidemics is, of course, population density. For example, the London of this period was densely populated. The one square mile within the walls of "the City"
contained over 600,000 people. 69,596 of the 97,306 deaths in 1665 were attributed to plague, occurring in the latter half of the year. The plague continued through 1666, and some estimates say that almost
20 percent of the population died.

Epidemiologists are still debating why epidemics are often characterized by sudden onset and equally sudden cessation. When reading church burial registers, the genealogist may realize that the
typical handful of entries each month has suddenly multiplied many times over, as I saw in the London register I was reading for 1665. Even when no causes of death are given, chances are that you are
seeing the results of an epidemic, which you may want to research.

For London, the plague basically ended when in September 1666 a fire began in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane near London Bridge. It spread westward along the Thames and northward through the City, traveling easily through the wood-timbered houses overhanging the maze of narrow streets. London burned for four days, literally to the ground in much of the city. The flea-infested rats that carried the plague were either killed or driven away. The plague also faded away outside the city soon after, typical of a plague cycle.

The will of Isaac Mathis is will number 38, page 225, Will Book #1, 1758-1774 in Halifax County, North Carolina. In it he mentions his son Samuel, son Reaps, sons Robert and Peter, wife Mary, and Thomas, Jean, Isaac, Mary, Sarah, and daughter Susanna Humphris. It has son Isaac and son-in-law Samuel Davis as executors. It does not mention son Moses but if he was the eldest he had already moved to South Carolina so would not necessarily be mentioned.

From "The History of Gwinnett County, Georgia":

"The Mathews family," according to C. H. Ward, genealogist, "has a history dating back to Sir Ivan, 12th Lord of Cardigan, of Oril College, Oxford, England who married Cecily, daughter of Sir Robert de Clare, who was the second son of Richard, 4th Earl of Hertford and his wife Amecia, sister of Isabel, wife of King John of England, and a descendant of Adelaide, sister of William the Conqueror. Sir Mathew, son of Sir Ivan, born about 1360, was knighted during the reign of Richard II (1382-1399) and his descendants are those who bear the name of Mathews in any of its varied forms."
"Captain, General, Governor Samuel Mathews, third son of Archbishop Tobias Mathews of Oxford, came to Virginia in 1622. Mary Mathews, daughter of Captain Samuel Mathews of Virginia, married Isaac Mathews, a grest-grandson of John Mathews of Milton and their son, Thomas Mathews, born in Virginia in 1726, came to South Carolina in 1767 and died there in 1831."

Isaac Edward Mathews and his wife Mary Mathews were distant cousins; Gov. Mathews was an ancestor of Mary. Their lineage converges in Sir Mathew ap Evan, Knight, b. 1368, Llandaff Court, Glamorgan, Wales, d. 1419, Glamorgan, Wales, married to Jenet Fleming. Their son Sir Dafydd Mathew, Knight, married to Gwendoline Hebert, is the direct ancestor of Isaac. His brother Sir Robert Mathew, married to Alice Thomas, is the direct ancestor of Mary.

Issac married Mary MATHEWS about 1723 in King & Queen County, Virginia. Mary (daughter of Captain Samuel MATHEWS and Elizabeth BRAXTON) was born in 1702 in Richmond County, Virginia; died on 10 Sep 1782 in Old Charles City, South Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
