This is NOT the Matilda that married William Medlin in Nicholas County, KY.
This IS the Matilda Jane Fredrick that was born to William and Nancy
Jane Hilander Fredrick in 1856.
She first shows up in the 1860 Fleming County, KY census.
My next record for her is a January 1, 1877 marriage to Lemuel Berry in Robertson County, KY. She uses the name Matilda J. Fredrick See. Mr. Berry is her second husband, and her first husband apparently died,
since she uses the name See. There are a handful of Sees around RobCo during the mid 1800s, but I haven't found a Fredrick-See marriage yet.
My third record is Matilda Frederick in the 1880 RobCo census, living with Alexander Sanders (Widowed or Divorced), and his 15 yr old son, William.
On April 3, 1882 in RobCo, Matilda Fredrick Berry married again
(with Alexander Sanders as surety) to James Bryant (24, born in Carter County, KY).
James and Matilda are in Jessamine County, KY in the 1900 census, with their granddaughter, Etta Helvey. Not sure where their daughter was, but record shows that she was still living.
James and Matilda are in Carter County, KY in the 1910 census.
James Bryant died in Carter Co. on November 2, 1919.
Matilda died in Carter Co. on January 27, 1943, and she is buried in Eagle Hall Cemetery, in the community of Soldier.
I have photos of all documents, and I'm still looking for info on her first husband, unk See. I will also try to find info on her daughter. If you would like copies, please email me at
