Exploring the life and times of James Mathews Sr of Southside Virginia and North Carolina and his descendants across the Southeast from 1680 to 1850...

Site update 9 Mar 2021 - the menus on the site broke at some point in the past. I don't know when, maybe a year or two ago. The js that runs them is too outdated to try to fix and I'm planning an overhaul to the site in the next year anyway so I'm just going to throw up all the links below. As you read one page come back here to get the link for the next.
