I am looking for the father of Delos or de los MATHEWS or MATTHEWS and also info about his children (he is my great grandfather). I have the following info on him from the 1910 Census; Chemung Co. Van Etten, N Y - MATHEWS, Delos, head of house.... M. W. age 58, Rhoda A., wife, F. W. age 56, Emmett, son M. W. age 33 and Charles, son, M. W. age 25. I know Emmett and Charles had other brothers (Henry and William) and sisters but I don’t know how many there were in total (Henry was my grandfather).

I also found what I believe to be the same family (but I’m not entirely sure) in the 1880 Schuyler Co., Cayuta, NY U.S. Census: Head of Household: de Los MATHEWS, age 30, born NY, laborer, parents birthplace unknown. Rhoda A. Mathews, age 28, born NY, wife, married, living in Cayuta, Schuyler Co., NY. Etta MATHEWS, age 7, born NY and Minnie MATHEWS, age 2, born NY and both living in Cayuta, Schuyler Co., NY.

I do not have access to the US Census information from other years (i.e., 1870, 1890, 1900 or 1920, etc.). Any information you can provide on this line would be appreciated. Thank you.

Roy,

I believe we may be researching the same family. My grandmother was Elda Mae Mathews, daughter of Emmett Mathews who was the son of Delos Mathews. Elda's siblings where Gerald, Tom aka. Herman, Irene, Lida, Lucinda. In another posting you mention a Claus Mathews being married to a Rhoda Chaffee. I'm wondering is Claus and Delos are one in the same person. Have you had any luck with finding any answers?
