Do any of your Matthews's come from Yorkshire/staffordshire/worcestershire(esp Yardley) or warwickshire in the uk?

We don't know.

Jesse Matthews
b. Oct 27 1822 Baltimore, Baltimore Co, MD (or Anne Arundel Co)
is said to be 1 of 12 brothers, with perhaps 8 sisters.

His father may have been a tailor of Scots-Irish descent.

My name is Alishia(or Lisa for short) Breesawitz-Norman, I am interested in how you are linked to Addie Kaudle. I was unclear by your list of family member as to how she is related. My grand mother was a Kaudle(maiden name) Her parents were Lloyd and Virgie Kaudle both of Polk Town Missouri. If you could give me some info it would really help my search.

Did any of your Matthews family come from New Jersey?
If not where and what state were they from? Do you have any Susannah Matthews listed in your family? She was born abt. 1818 in New Jersey. I do not know where or who her parents or siblings were.
Please e-mail carter490@aol.com
Thank you.

I am searching for the family of Ida May Lanzer. Have you found more information on this family since your posting? Did Ralph and Dwight die tragically? I see they both died in July of 1955.
Ida May is my grandmother's first cousin, but they never met.
