Debbie... Soon after I posted to you I realized I was asking the wrong question but it did seem that the Jesse I referred to was connected. Hattie C. Anderson was a sister of my grandmother. I grew up in Henry County Iowa and knew several of the Mathews and Lynches. John Clifton's son came to a family reunion about 10 years ago after I had visited in Sweden. I am in Arizona for over 40 years and don't get back to Iowa often. This is all I have on Jesse Elmer:
Descendants of Jesse E. Mathews. I have a lot on the Andersons going back to late 1500s. Presume you are of the Mathews line. jw
