Notes:

George Mathes -- From Lost State of Franklin, by Samuel Cole Williams:
"Occurrences on the Border -- 1788. On Friday Aug. 8, a party of 31 under Captain Fain, a part of the guard of Houston Station, joined a party of settlers, crossed the Little Tennessee at a point about nine miles distant. . . . The Indians surrounded them, drove them into the river, killed 16 and wounded 4. The Indians had taken possession of the ford, and as whites endeavored to swim across the stream many were slaughtered in the water." George Mathes was one of the 16 killed.

With his brothers, Alexander Jr., Allen and Jeremiah, he emigrated to upper East TN about 1780, where he married and lived a short time in the neighborhood of Leesburg. Later going to Blount Co., he was one of the pioneers.

Another story from the book "Life As It Is": During a raid of the Indians the settlers ran into a blockhouse some miles below Maryville. After a siege of some days the Indians withdrew, and George Mathes and his brother-in-law Anderson volunteered to go and look for food. The Indians suprised them and they were overtaken and tomahawked to death by John Watts, a half-breed chief, notorious for his bloodthirsty deeds and character.

Notes:

"Alexander Mathes III went to Washington County, TN, (then NC) with his father, in October 1782. They were on the road when Cornwallis surrendered his army at Yorktown, VA. [Cornwallis surrendered October 19, 1781.] He settled near Washington College, where he spent a long and useful life, occupying a position of prominence.

"He succeeded his father as ruling elder in Salem church, serving in that capacity for a period of sixty years, from 1806 to 1865, at the time of his death."

"In 1819 he built, near Washington College, a large three-story residence of hewn logs, with stone basement. The rooms were very large with plenty of windows, and there was a center chimney with fireplace in each room. This was quite a pretentious home in those pioneer days. Many years later, weatherboarding was nailed on over the logs, and in 1919, after having stood one hundred years, it was remodeled into a modern home. It passed out of the ownership of the family. It was sometimes called the 'Ark'."

"Alexander Mathes III was a farmer and brick mason. He was a strict Presbyterian and considered with regret the fact that bread was baked in his home on the Sabbath. He was a very large man, weighing nearly three hundred pounds; about 5 feet 11 inches in height; had clear blue eyes, dark hair and florid complexion."

Fain Anderson wrote: "Alexander Mathes Jr. was a considerable man, in ability and weight (weighing more than 300 pounds). I knew him from 1852 until his death, a pure noble Christian gentleman."

The will of Alexander Mathes III dated December 7, 1863, probated March term 1865, is of record in Will Book 2, page 120 Washington County Courthouse, TN.

residence 671 James Blackburn age 74 1787 NC <<<
residence 672 Joel age 25 (this is prob Joseph)
residence 673 John B. Moyers 1764 NC
(any bets that the B stands for Blackburn???)

I looked for one of my Moyers in NC and found only one, Joshua Moyers 1779 Washington Co NC (prob)

Joshua Moyers is son of Christopher Moyers Jr. 1740 VA; d 1815 TN. (He's in SAR)
HOWEVER, Christopher had property in North Carolina (now White Pine, Jefferson Co, TN)
N. C. land grant was located 6/8 miles east of the Kuntz's on Long Creek a tributary of the French Broad, in what today is the town of White Pine, Jefferson Co TN.

I desc from James Moyers b 1767 who married Mary Blackburn b 1768 to my John Blackburn SR and Janet O'Neal Mathes.

the John B, Moyers b 1764 NC could have easily ID'd himself to be from NC. Not many dates are concrete, including John B's b.d. since they were often off a bit - but he's in the right age range to be child of Christopher & Susanna.

Now, looking at your James Blackburn b 1787 - my John Blackburn's kids have a gap bet 1785 and 1789.

My Blackburns have strong connections to Jefferson Co TN but looking at today's maps, TN, NC and eastern TN are bound to have overlapping borders of the centuries and places can sometimes be deceiving to their time.
If I'm right, that would mean John B. Moyers, living next to James would be his bro-in-law.

Hope you can make heads and tails of this -- it's too close to not be so - maybe a tweak here and there - but that's got to be who they are. I'm going to attach them in my files and note as question marks so you can see how I think it goes.

Does anyone know who Mathias Moyer is?
I found several land transactions involving him in "Land Deeds of Jefferson County, Tennessee 1792-1814." I'm researching the line including Christopher Moyers & Sarah McGowan who were married there 1 Feb 1822. Neither their children nor Chtopher's siblings show a Mathias. Am I missing something? Also, what do the double dates signify?

According to these records:

Andrew Henderson and William More, administrators of all and singular the goods and chattles rights and credits of Mathias Moyers, deceased; and Polly Gass, late Polly Moyers, Administratrix of said Estate; and Andrew Gass, who intermarried with Polly Moyers; and Henry Collins (Sevier Co.). $160.00 in hand paid by George Gregory to Mathias Moyers in his lifetime, and to me the said Henry Collins, the receipt whereof we severally acknowledged the said Mathias Moyers sold to George Gregory, and there in his lifetime on 19 Jul 1809 said Mathias Moyers made and executed to said Gregory his bond for title to said land, which bond was signed and sealed by Henry Collins and George Gregory, having had the said bond proven in the County Court of Jefferson and recorded as the law directs. Surveyed 15 Apr 1807. Wit: Jacob Crider; Joseph McGuire. /s/ A. Henderson; William Moore; Mary Gass; A. Gass; Henry Collins. March Session 1813.

The name Gass (John) showed up witnessing the will of Alexander Breckenridge in 1813. But that was in Bourbon Co, KY. His g-granddaughter m Harold Charles Moyer, the grandson of Christopher Moyers & Sarah McGowen.
There was a Catherine McGuire who m Andrew Blackburn whose sister Mary married James Moyers, father of Christopher Moyers.
With these common names, it seems that Mathias belongs to the same family of Moyers, but how???

from Betty Stokes email 21 Jun 2013
"I notice that you end with James G. I have 2 more proven generations. James Blackburn who married 2nd Louisa Wilson McDaniel. I THINK James G. is from the first wife. He had full siblings John and Margaret. The rest were half siblings. All I have for his birth date are 3 census records. 1850 and 1870 show him born too early to be Louisa's and the 1860 which shows a later date and possible. I tend to think that the 1850 census "the year they were married" is more nearly correct. James G Blackburn's grandfather was James A. Blackburn. I have an approved DAR application for him. Also an 1812 approved ancestor "James Blackburn." I also have a DRT approved ancestor "James G."





Birth:
1850 he said he was 23 - 1827
1860 he said he was 30 - 1830
1870 he said he was 41 - 1828

I'll go out on a limb and say it looks like he's from 2nd wife. Her children are like clock work every two years. Married Oct 1828 and Louisa b 1831. Plenty of time for a first born of that marriage 1829/1830. right in range of when James G. thought of his age.
Margaret (dau of 1st wife) b 1825. Three years more comfortable a time span to have lost a wife, grieve, find a new wife, and remarry. Louisa could have lost a first born, but looks like she had healthy childbearing - and there's a perfect slot for James G.
