Searching for Lambert Hayden...Married Hattie Lee in 1904,
had a son Walter Lee Hayden. Lamberts parents were Brown and Maggie Hayden of Hardin Co. Kentucky.

I am Robert H. Matson Jr., son of Robert H. Matson whose mother was Elizabeth Farrow Matson and his father Charles Matson. My mother was Constance Ivy Matson and I was born in Memphis Tenn on Sept 6,1931. My aunt was Jessie Hayden, and my uncles Charles and John Matson. Mary Matson Payne was also an Aunt, but she lived in California. I had a sister Constance who died at the age of 49, born december 29,1932. She was married to George B. Coale and they had two Children, George and John. I have three children, Katherine, Robert and Paul. I also have three grandsons, Alexander, Cody, By Katherine, and Hayden by Robert. I married Katherine Rothe on September 11, 1954. I know very little about my father's family and would appreciate any imformation you may have.

Was your grandmother Elizabeth (b. abt 1860) the daughter of William Farrow (b. abt.1835) and Margaret Peck? Was there also possibly a daughter named Jessie born to them? Jessie married Frank Hayden. Elizabeth also had a sister, Mary Nelson Farrow who married Courtand C. Matson

Congressman Courtland C Matson & Mary Farrow's daughter, Mary Nelson Matson, married Charles Walter Brown, they had 1 child, Beatrice Brown, who married Quinton (Jack) Thomas Harback, they had 1 child, Judith Kaye Harback, who is my mother. We have an enormous amount of correspondence, pictures, etc. of the Farrow, Matson, Hayden & Brown family. We didn't know who Lizzy had married. Let's talk!

I'm a decendent of Courtland C. Matson and very interested in getting some info that I don't have. I have lots of info to share.

We had 2 Farrow sisters marry 2 Matson brothers. Mary Nelson (Nellie) married Courtland Matson and Elizabeth married Charles E. Matson, who had a daughter, Jessie, who married Frank Hayden. I have a picture to Nellie of Jessie at about 1 yr old, that says, "your double cousin" from Lizzy. I also have a picture of Elizabeth Farrow. W have a ton of pictures that we believe are all Farrows, we would like some help with these.

Hi Robert,
I'm a decendent of Mary Nelson Matson (Farrow), sister of Elizabeth, who also married a Matson brother. I have their father as being William L. Farrow. I have many, many Farrow pictures that are identified and some are not, but look to be from the Farrow family. I also have many letters, deeds, etc. Many of these deeds are for a Richard Farrow, who comes up in just about everything, but still don't know where to place him within the Farrows. He may be William's father, but not sure.

Robert,
Have we exchanged information? If not, please contact me. I will try using the e-mail address given here, but am not sure about "1" or "l" and "c" or "e."
I have extensive files on this Matson family.
