I am posting the entire text of an important equity court document which defines family relationships for the descendants of Isaac Matthews, Jr., of Edgefield, S.C.
Moses and Martha Matthews, Edgefield District, SC.
South Carolina. In Equity, Ninety Six District.
To the Honorable Henry William Dessaussure, Thomas Waites, Theodore Gaillard, Waddy Thompson and William James, Judges of the Court of Equity of the said State.
Humbly complaining show unto your Honors your Orater, Daniel Matthews and your Oratrix, Martha Matthews, widow of Moses Matthews, deceased, in behalf of herself and her children under age, viz: Enoch Matthews, Mary Matthews, Budcade Matthews, William Matthews, Eleanor Matthews, and also in behalf of Jacob Hardy and Anna, his wife, late Anna Matthews, Jacob Pope, and Elizabeth, his wife, late Elizabeth Matthews, and Daniel Cureinton and Cabell, his wife, late Cabell Matthews, children and heirs of herself and the said Moses Matthews, deceased, all except the said Daniel Cureinton of the District and State aforesaid: that on or about the 25th day of March in the year of our Lord, One Thousand seven hundred and ninety one Isaac Matthews of the said District and State departed this life leaving a widow, Anna Matthews, since deceased, and sons, Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, and your orator Daniel Matthews, and daughters, Cabell Matthews, who intermarried with Thomas Pace, now deceased, and since with Benjamin Carr, resident of the State of Georgia, and Elizabeth Matthews, who intermarried with George Fluker, resident in the District and State aforesaid, leaving also a personal estate and a real estate, the latter consisting of one tract of land alone, containing according to the original grant made to William Whitaker on the 4th of October, one thousand seven hundred and sixty eight, two hundred and fifty acres situate on both sides of Little Saluda River near its junction with Big Saluda River; bounded at the time of the survey to east by lands of William West, and on all other sides by vacant land, but containing five hundred and fifty acres according to a resurvey made by John Blocker, the younger, esq., which said tract of land was conveyed by the original grantor to John Chestnut, Esquire, of Camden, and purchased of him jointly by the deceased, Isaac Matthews and his son, Moses Matthews, now deceased (the eldest son of the said Isaac and the late husband of your oratrix, Martha Matthews) for the sum of one hundred pounds sterling, equal proportions of which the said Isaac and Moses actually paid to him the said John Chestnut, although the titles to said land were made to the said Isaac Matthews alone and under the express agreement and understanding that one-half of the said land was to enure to the use, benefit and behoof of the said Moses as his absolute property and estate in fee simple. Your orator and oratrix further beg leave to show unto your Honors that it was the express, distinct and well under-stood dying wish and desire of him the said Isaac Matthews that his half or undivided moiety of the said land should on his death vest in and become the absolute and unqualified right and property of him the said Daniel Matthews, your orator, and that after the death of the said Isaac, the brothers of your orator, to wit: Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews, and Micajah Matthews, being anxious to show that the estate of their father had been settled up and divided in the spirit of peace and brotherhood, and being under the solemn impression, knowledge and understanding that their father’s half of the land should be the clear and undisputed right and property of your orator, did enter into, execute and deliver to your orator the following agreement in writing under their hands and seals the original of which is now ready to be produced, that is to say South Carolina, Edgefield County… this is to certify that we five brothers, Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthtews and Daniel Matthews do hereby bind ourselves in this bond of five hundred pounds sterling to stand to this sale that we are consenting to this 31st day of December, 1798. The property that was sold was part of the estate of our father, Isaac Matthews, deceased. The property is thus—one negro man, named Anthony, and another negro named Peter, a set of blacksmith’s tools, and one wagon set up, and we legatees have had a young negro a piece as we come of age and agreed before witnesses that we were satisfied to take them at one price and be even and satisfied; again we four brothers, Moses Matthews, Lewis Matthews, Hardy Matthews and Micajah Matthews do hereby agree and bind ourselves in the above bond to give and make rights and titles to our parts of the land to our brother, Daniel Matthews, and hereto set our hands and seals”, and subscribed by two witnesses, and signed and sealed by the parties, etc. That according to the above agreement and the understanding of all parties, your orator did take possession and has hitherto together with your oratrix (before and since the death of her husband Moses Matthews) kept the clear and undisputed possession of the tract of land above described although the said tract of land has never been partitioned or divided; that the said Thomas Pace who intermarried with Cabell Matthews, daughter of the said Isaac, deceased, and George Fluker, who intermarried with the said Elizabeth Matthews, the other daughter of the said deceased, are perfectly satisfied with such parts of the estate of the deceased as they have received, appears by receipts and acquittances given to them, copies of which are herewith filed, marked A and B, which yur orator and oratrix prays may be received as parts of their bill and referred to when necessary.
That since the death of the said Isaac Matthews and also since the execution and delivery of the aforesaid agreement or instrument of writing and before any titles to the said lands have been made either to your orator or to the said Moses in his life time.or to his heirs and legal representatives since his death. He, the said Moses, has deceased, leaving your oratrix, his widow, with the children aforesaid, three of whom have intermarried with William Hardy, Jacob Pope and Daniel Cureinton as aforesaid and the said Lewis Matthews has also deceased, leaving a widow, Nancy Matthews, since intermarried with a certain Bailey Crouch, but having by him the said Lewis Matthews the following named children, to-wit: Elizabeth, who intermarried with Thomas Waites, by whom she had one child, Nancy, and died leaving now living a minor under the protection of its father, the said Thomas Waites; also, Sugar Jones Matthews, Cabell Matthews, Mary Quarles Matthews, Moses Matthews, Josiah Allen Matthews, Drury Matthews, Milbury Matthews, all of which said children are now under age except the first which renders it indispensable to the perfecting a good title to said land in your orator and your oratrix and her children whom she represents, to seek the aid and interference of this honorable Court to partition and divide the said land and to compel the parties interested to make good titles to the said land as in equity they are bound to do.
BUT NOW SO IT IS may please your honors that the said Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, Nancy Matthews, in behalf of herself and her said children, George Fluker, and Elizabeth, his wife, and Benjamin Carr and Cabell, his wife, combining and confederating with diverse other persons at present unknown to your orator and oratrix, whose names when discovered they pray may be made parties hereto with apt words to charge them endeavoring to wrong and injure orator and oratrix in the premises that refused to make to your orator and oratrix a good title to the said tract of land in conformity with their agreement aforesaid, although they, (your orator and oratrix) have been in the peaceable and undisturbed possession of said land ever since said agreement.
IN TENDER CONSIDERATION WHEREOF and for as much as your orator and oratrix are remediless in the premises by the strict rules of the common law and cannot compel a partition and specific performance of said agreement but by the aid and assistance of this honorable court where matters of this nature are properly cognizable and relievable.
TO THE END THEREFORE, that the said Hardy Matthews, Micajah Matthews, Nancy Matthews, the widow of Lewis, in behalf of herself and her said children, George Fluker and Elizabeth , his wife, and Benjamin Carr and Cabell, his wife, And their confederates when discovered may upon their corporal oaths true direct and perfect answers make to all and singular the matters aforesaid, and that as fully and particularly as if the same were herein again repeated and interrogated, and more particularly that they may set forth and discover whether the said Isaac Matthews did not die intestate leaving the children aforesaid and possessed of the tract of land before particularly described; whether it was not conveyed from the grantee to John Chestnut and whether the said Isaac and his eldest son, Moses, did not before either of their deaths jointly purchase said tract of land; whether they did not pay for it; each of them in equal proportions, and whether it was not the express and distinct understanding and agreement of the said Isaac and Moses that he, the said Moses, should actually own, possess and enjoy one-half of the said land in his own right and whether he, the said Moses, did not thereupon take possession of a part of the said land and whether himself in his life time and his widow since his death have not constantly been in possession of the same although the titles and deeds were executed and delivered to the said Isaac Matthews alone, and whether it was not the express agreement and understanding that titles should be made to the said Moses by the said Isaac of one-half of the land at some convenient time thereafter upon a division or partition of this land. Thaat the said defendants may further particularly disclose and set forth whether it was not the distinct, frequently expressed and well known dying wish of him, the said Isaac Matthews, that your orator, Daniel Matthews, should not, after the death of the said Isaac, own, possess, and enjoy his half of the said land, and whether the said Moses, Lewis, Hardy, and Micajah did not make and execute the deed before set forth binding themselves to make good titles of their parts of the said land to your orator, Daniel Matthews, under a solemn understanding of their said father’s will and desire; whether your orator, Daniel Matthews, did not in conformity thereto take possession of said land and whether he has not ever since said agreement kept the constant and uninterrupted possession of the said land. That they or either of them may further declare whether the said Moses and Lewis Matthews have not both died leaving the childrern and heirs before set forth without ever having made titles to your orator of the said land in pursuance of their agreement, and whether the said land has ever been partitioned or divided. That they or either of them may declare further whether Thomas Pace who intermarried with Cabell Matthews, did not give the receipt and acquittance, a copy of which is herewith filed, marked A, and whether this was not done with the knowledge and by the consent of the said Cabell Pace, his wife, and whether she was not and is not now fully satisfied with such part of the estate of her deceased father as has come into the hands of herself and her former husband. That the said George Fluker, and Elizabeth, his wife, may declare whether the said George did not give the receipt and acquittance, a copy of which is herewith filed, marked B, and whether himself and his wife are not fully satisfied and content; that good and sufficient titles should be made to the land as is hereinbefore claimed after partition of the same, and that every and all parties aforesaid may declare whether they are not satisfied and willing that titles should be ordered and decreed by this honorable Court in the manner claimed and set forth by your orator and oratrix.

OK, I was just going thorugh my records so I could put together an email once I heard form you.
OK, I was just going thorugh my records so I could put together an email once I heard form you.
First, you had something on that page about Mathews "researchers" figuring out that Richard Hardy's wife Molly was the daughter of Charles Mathews of Brunswick County, VA. The "researchers" in question is me. I had been giving Carol info as I came across it this past summer.
What I was going to tell you about was the bit about the other Richard Hardy Jr's (son of John and Ann) "second wife" Elizabeth Mathews that you have near the top of the page http://richard-hardy.blogspot.com/.
OK, the Elizabeth Mathews that you found in the 1850 Edgefield census and say was a wife of Richard Hardy was not a Mathews, I believe she was a Hardy! The 60 year-old Elizabeth Mathews who is living with 18 year-old James Hardy was the widow of James Mathews who had just died prior to the census 10 May 1849. I have a copy of their bible record so there is no doubt that she was his wife and not a wife of Richard Hardy.
The fact that there is a James Hardy living with her in 1850 (my guess is that he is a grandson) and that there were several Hardy's named in the bible record of James and Elizabeth lead me to think that she may have been a Hardy. Either that or she and James had a daughter who married a Hardy.
I believe that James Mathews was a brother of Drury, Lewis and Sugar Jones Mathews who were all sons of William and Mary Mathews. This whole clan lived around the Cambridge area of Edgefield right on Half Way Swamp. At the moment I do not have any documentary evidence that these Mathews relate to me, however, I do believe that it is so. My Mathews family which settled on the Saluda were from the same part of southern VA as all of these Hardy's were. Richard and Molly Hardy were living beside my 4G grandfather's brother so they all knew each other.
Anyway, here is the bible transcription, I am sure you would like to see it (I'm just going to list names and dates):BIBLE

1810 census with James Mathews and brothers on same page.This James Mathews b ca 1766 was a brother of Drury Cook Mathews b. 19 OCT 1760 died 22 DEC 1830 buried in Mathews-King Cem, Hwy 246 Cambridge, SC, Lewis Mathews and Sugar Jones Mathews who were all sons of William and Mary Mathews:
In 1810 James Mathews is between 26 and 44 (he is probably born 1766). His wife is under 26.(born after 1785 ) They one girl under 10 at home. I believe this is Elizabeth unknown born 1791 with their first child Olif b Oct 1810 per the Bible
The 60 year-old Elizabeth Mathews in 1850 who is living with 18 year-old James Hardy was the widow of James Mathews who had just died, prior to the 1850 census, 10 May 1849. Copy of their bible record leaves no doubt that she was James' wife and not a wife of Richard Hardy. The fact that there is a James Hardy living with her in 1850 and that there were several Hardy's named in the Bible record of James and Elizabeth lead me to think that she may have been a Hardy. Either that or she and James had a daughter who married Richard Hardy Jr.- son of John Hardy and Ann Williams. Richard Hardy Jr was married 3 times- 2 times to an Elizabeth and lastly to a Mary, whreupon he died intestate.

=================================================================
GREG SAYS: There is no indication that the younger Elizabeth married a Hardy so maybe the named Hardy children were illigitimate. That doesn't make sense because there were 3 named Hardy children and I find it unlikely that she would have been quite that brazen as to have 3 illigitimate children by the same man over the course of several years (although apparently my maternal grandfather's grandmother was just that brazen....). The only thing I can think of is that maybe the elder Elizabeth was previously married before James, had a daughter (who later married a Hardy) and then her husband died and she married James. The 1810 census does show 2 young ladies in the household of James, yet we only get the name of one daughter from the family bible so this scenario is possible.
================================================================
GREG SAYS: One final thing I wanted to point out involves the children of who you call Saluda Richard Hardy (husband of Molly). You have two sons listed for him. I didn't see daughter Susanna listed, but I'm sure you are aware of her. What you might not know is that he likely had another older daughter named Elizabeth (born Feb 11, 1771 in either Brunswick or Lunenburg County, VA) who married James Mathews in Brunswick County, VA Dec 10, 1788. This James and Elizabeth are completely different from the James and Elizabeth whose bible record I listed above. (I disagree- he married both Elizabeths) This James in VA was a grandson of Charles Mathews making him a nephew of Saluda Richard Hardy's wife Molly making James and his wife first cousins.
I believe that Elizabeth is a daughter of Richard and Molly because for one thing Richard was listed as giving surety (Elizabeth was only 17) implying he was her father ---he might even be listed as her father, I can't remember--- and second, of the two Richard Hardy's who are known it makes far more sense for her father to have been Saluda Richard Hardy since he was still in VA at the time of her marriage.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Greg Matthews
