I had planned to begin a series on Joshua and Rebecca Grant's children today but was sidetracked with a minor health problem that will involve minor surgery this Friday. With all the running around to various doctors and for a variety of medical tests, I just didn't have the time to put together anything worthwhile on Joshua and Rebecca's children and their families. I still plan to do so, but that may have to wait until sometime next week.
Meanwhile, I received two photos from George and Mary Mathis involving Cecil Mathis' wedding and thought that I would share them with you.

George Mathis in Texas: How are these people related to you? Thanks

Esther (Mathis) Miller is my first cousin, my father and her father George W. Mathis were brothers. By the way just noticed I added and extra letter "l" to her Mother's middle name it should be "Holman" I am the George W. Mathis in this picture. I was born Nov. 14 1929, shortly after Esther father was killed in an construction accident. Sara Allen was my first cousin, her mother and my father were brother and sister. Rayetta (Mathis)Allen was 1st child of Joshua Mathis and Rebecca Ann (Grant) Mathis.

ReplyDeleteI did not send the pictures from Cecil Mathis' wedding. As far as I know I am related as a distant cousin. I have no info about this side of the family but would love to talk to anyone who wants to give me a call. 713-823-0901.
George Mathis- Spring, Texas
Pete & Beverly, I am George Mathis who sent the pictures of Cecil"s & Joyce wedding. I have no idea from my inputs how Texas got attached to my pictures. I live in Virginia. For the Mathis in Spring Texas, I know where it is, our son has lived in texas for about 30 years. My phone is 434-392-7220. Beverly how do you fit into the Mathis lineage? May be able to help!
ReplyDeleteIt was my error in reporting that the photos of Cecil's wedding came from George Mathis in Texas. I got my Georges mixed up. Sorry about that. I made the correction in the Blog posting above.

Beverly: From the infomation given about your Grandfather Eugene Phineas Mathis, did he pass away in 1970? Was your GRANDMOTHER'S NAME ESTELLA OR MABEL? I am pulling straws! I can check further, hope we can come up with an answer. George W. Mathis
ReplyDeleteBeverly: From the info. given, did your Grandfather pass away in 1970? Was your Grandmother's name Estella or Mabel? Right now that's all I can go by, if not I can check around. George W. Mathis in Virigina
ReplyDeleteHi George: Yes, he died in 1970. My grandmother's name was Estella Harris Adams Mathis. Mabel was my grandfather's second wife after Estella died. Estella was from Port Republic and had seven sisters. Her father was Edward Page Adams and her mother was Hannah Hooper. My grandfather's father was John Oliphant Mathis and his mother's Ida Elvina Allen. She married Suwarrow French after John O. died.
