My g g grandmother was Bessie Ivy b. 1830, NC. I have nothing more on her origin. She married Essex Mathews b. 1829, NC. I first found them in the 1900 Census, nothing before that. Both at the time lived in Rose Hill,Duplin County, NC where they were enumarated with children and grandchildren living with them. I have names of some of the children and they are: Laura (my gr grandmother), Rhoda or Rhody, Matilda (Aunt Matt) and Betsy Mathews.
Has anyone heard of this family. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
