Since my particular branch of the Mathews family settled in Edgefield District, SC in the late 1700s most of my census abstracts are from that state. As my research has branched out I have extended my abstracts to various states and counties of interest across the country. The South Carolina abstracts through 1850 encompass ALL Mathews found in the state regardless of whether or not they are related to me.

The below document contains abstracts of all Mathews wills that I have found from many southern states. All of the 33 and counting wills that I have gathered so far are for Mathews men and women that I am certain are related to the various lines of James Mathews Sr. The wills are abstracts that I personally created (meaning they are not copies from a book) based normally on the original will although in a handful of cases I used copies that others created to base my abstract on. I have included notes for most of these wills to assist in determining how the individual fits into the family at-large.
Mathews and related individuals wills
Deed records, along with estate administrations, are probably one of the most under used sources for genealogy. Not only can deeds sometime explicitly indicate familial relationships deed books can also contain transactions other than land sales such as pre-nuptial dowry agreements, slave sales, and many other miscellaneous tranactions and agreements.
