Notes	Helen Harrell's Book, James Stuart and Mary Doak Matthews of Wilcox County, Alabam, claims that James Matthews, Sr. emigrated from Ireland to Boston in 1718. If that is true, then James Jr. must have been born in America. However, several Maury County Bibles and family lores state that James Jr. was born in Ireland. He was known as "Irish Jimmy."
