Pleasant Ridge Church & cemetery are located in Coffee county Alabama and yes, I do have photos of both headstones. They are newer headstones so the spelling and Elizabeth's maiden name may have been somehow evolved to Bloomer by mispelling, miscommunication as the yrs past because even the dates on her headstone are vague. Nathaniels dates, however, are a little more precise (at least his birth) even though the headstone is fairly new. I will try to attach the photo's here but I will be glad to email you the photos if you send your email addr. The headstones read:

JAMES NATHANIEL MATHENY
MAR 6 1797
ABT 1871

ELIZABETH BLOOMER MATHENY
1800
AFTER 1880

During the Census of 1880, at age 79, Elizabeth was listed as living with my ggrandparents, William Henry Goodson & his wife Mary (Elizabeth's daughter). So the dates on her headstone would fit.

Thanks Elaine. Your hels & info here does confirm my suspicions that Zachariah was living with his mother's uncle. Any information you uncover on which Matheny was Zachriah's father will be a huge help. I have a copy of his Obituary but his mother & father are not mentioned. Thanks again, Jean

Oops! I forgot to ask that the complete text of what is written on their tombstones also be posted. When were they born and when did they die? Does anyone know about their date and place of marriage? Thanks!

Thank you for responding. Would you please post the information about the name of the cemetery, the location (near what city-in which county) of the graves of James and Elizabeth Matheny? I am sure that with all the descendants they have, many people would enjoy knowing about it. Thanks again.

Archibald and John Matheny

mmet67 — 2009-10-26 04:11:02Z

Hello. I need help. The Matheny/Metheny line is on my husband's side. I came across a John Matheny, born in 1792 in Va. and died 1872 in West Virginia. He was married to Anna Wade. They had a son named James Matheney who was married to Sarah Queen. I found 2 Johns. One is John Wesley and the other is John M. I have his father as Archibald and mother as Jane Curry. But I am not sure if I am going in the right direction. There are so many Mathenys/Methenys out there, my tree is getting all messed up... lol... could someone please help me?

Can anyone please tell me the name of the county where the Pleasant Ridge Primitive Baptist Church and Cemetery is located - thanks? Would anyone have a photograph of the tombstones of James Nathaniel Matheny and his wife Elizabeth Blume Matheny? Can anyone please write exactly what is written on these stones so that people might know the dates of birth and death? Thanks again.

Re: J. Nathaniel MATHENY - SC to AL - 1800's- married BLUME

jodystree — 2009-10-17 14:51:19Z

I'm sorry but I have no information on their paternal side. I know their mother was Mary Bishop b. abt. 1840 in Talbot Co. Ga. daughter of Jane H. Grant b. abt. 1813 in Ga.(probably Pulaski Co.) and William J. Bishop b. abt. 1810 in Ga. (again probably Pulaski) d. aft. 1860 bef. 1870 probably in Russell Co. Al. Jane probably died in Coffee Co. and is most likely buried near John and Polly Bishop in the same graveyard as Nathaniel and Zachariah. William J. may be the son of Elbert Bishop b. N.C. Abt. 1790 and Eleanor Stanford b. 1793 in Columbia Co. Ga. Jane's parents were probably John O. Grant and whoever his wife was. John O. lived in Talbot Co. and in Pulaski where Elbert and Eleanor were. But this is all supposition until I get back to Georgia next week to do a little more digging. Hope we make a break through some way. Elaine

jeanworth7 — 2009-10-17 01:12:54Z

Hi, your ggrandmother Elletha J. E. Matheny was my ggrandfather, Zachariah P. Matheny's sister. Nathaniel Matheny & Elizabeth are on my father's daddy's side but Zachariah (my daddy's mother's father)& your Elletha J. E. (Zachariah's sister) are from my daddy's Mother's side.
I was told by my dad & his mother (who are both now deceased) that my grandfather & grandmother were both desended from the same Matheneys & were cousins, although I don't know how close, so they are all related. However, I have never been able to find who the parents of Elletha J. E. & Zachariah are. I know they were living with their uncle (last name Bishop & brother to their mother I think). I am traveling & away from my records or could give better info, maybe. Any info anyone had on the parents of Zachariah P. Matheny & his sister, Elletha J. E. Matheny would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jean

Hi, I am traveling but have my computer with me, so I will answer the best that I can. I also have photos of the cemetery on my computer. The name of the place is Pleasant Ridge Primitive Baptist Church & Cemetery. It is a high elevation for that area & the view is beautiful. It is north of New Brockton & Elba AL & a little west of Victoria AL. You can Google it & get the directions. My ggrandfather, William Henry Goodson, owned a lot of the land & donated the land that the church & cemetery are on to the church. May I ask who you are desended from in our family? Thanks, Jean

BURIAL LOCATION OF JAMES NATHANIEL MATHENY b. 1797

1836hyacinth — 2009-10-16 22:10:15Z

I am hoping to find the exact location of the cemetery where JAMES NATHANIEL MATHENY and his wife Elizabeth BLUME Matheny are buried. It is most likely at Alabama. This James Nathaniel MATHENY was born at South Carolina in 1797. Hope to hear from you - thanks!

Looking to make contact with Matheny connections to the Fulton County, Kentucky area including Hickman County, Kentucky down to Weakley County, Tennessee.

Henry Henderson Matheny

shardy53 — 2009-09-20 01:35:18Z

Sometimes listed as Henry and sometimes as Henderson. He was born about 1823 in KY. I know he was married to a lady named Catherine but do not know her last name. She was born about 1830 in TN. One of their sons was Culpepper Matheny and he is my husband's grgrandfather. I was wondering if the name Henderson may have been a family name, perhaps his mother's maiden name. Culpeper's daughter, Sarah married John Jeffers. Sarah and John are my husband's grandparents and were both from IL.

Re: Hope Plantation

mothergoosemagic — 2009-08-30 19:02:15Z

I am trying to link my family member back to the Hope Plantation.

I have a Daniel Mathaney who married Frances Bean 17 May 1799 in Charles Co., Maryland, and then later married her sister, Eleanor Bean 14 Jan 1819 in Westmoreland County, VA. I've been told there is a connection to the Hope Plantation Mathenys, but I have not been able to make it. The same names of James, Daniel, William, and Thomas keep appearing in the family line.

I have not been able to document past this Daniel. I don't have any idea who his parents were, but I have the names of his children by both Frances and Eleanor. With Frances he had: Maria, George, James, Hannah and William; with Eleanor he had: Daniel, Resin, Robert, John, Abraham and Eleanor.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Daniel and Archibald Matheny

cwaller1214 — 2008-11-11 06:01:04Z

It would be helpful if you can give me a jumping off point. Is this Verlinda Jane your Grandmother or mother or great grandmother? What year was she born so I know where to start looking?

Re: Matheny in IL

chender — 2009-06-23 23:31:35Z

We have 2 Culpeppers, maybe both of interest to you.

Matheny, Culpepper - Bunyard, Mary C. S.
July 10, 1877, Fayette Co., Book 2 no. 16

Matheny, Culpepper, - Elizabeth Phillips
Nov 16 1835, Madison Co., 006/0031 228

The later one might be worth sending for, as there was a short time in the last quarter of the 19th c. when the license application asked for the names of the parents.
The Fayette one might fit that time frame.

Good luck.

Re: Hope Plantation

chender — 2009-06-26 17:50:13Z

I have in my files a michael that fits those dates. He is believed to have been born somewhere in VA, and apparently died in McDonough Co IL c. 1847. Had a son Michael/Micah. I have as a suggested father John of Berkeley Co VA. This is an unproved educated guess.

Re: Daniel and Archibald Matheny

wallerhouse — 2008-11-09 05:55:36Z

Hello, there is lots of information on this line. What did you want to know? Because this post is dated June, 2008 I don't want to jump in with a bunch of info you have already. many of these matheny are buried in and around Parkersburg WV. There is a Matheny reunion every November in WV. My gggrandfather is Wm.Wesley Matheny also a decendent of Daniel and Archibald.

Re: Daniel and Archibald Matheny

Randsay — 2008-11-10 14:51:19Z

I haven't looked at the family line for a couple of months. My direct line goes through Verlinda Jane Matheny who married Thomas R Leedom. I have heard conflicting notions of who her father was: Elias Matheny or possibly Charles Matheny. I know that they are from that area and am curious if they might be related to either Daniel or Archibald. Pretty much any information about the Matheny family that is before Verlinda Jane Matheny would be helpful.

Thank you for your offer to help out.

:)

Re: Daniel and Archibald Matheny

Randsay — 2008-11-11 18:11:39Z

Verlinda Jane Matheny, born 13 Oct 1817, in Manchester, Adams, OH. Married Thomas R Leedom on 3 Jun 1841. She died 1897 in OH. She is my g-g-g-grandmother.

One theory has it that her parents are Elias Matheny, born 1769 in Berkley County, VA. And Nancy Wallace, born 1795 in VA.

The second theory is that her father is Charles Matheny, born 1792, in VA and was a Preacher in Spriggs, OH.

Re: Jesse Matheny--Born:1761-Stafford County,Va.

Randsay — 2009-05-09 05:24:05Z

This is a little late getting sent out, but I want to thank you greatly for the information you provided me. And I have to agree, it looks like Charles is the father. When I look through the earlier census results for Adams County, Charles has a daughter the correct age, and of course in the same place as Verlinda shows up in 1850. And they seem to be in close proximity to the Leedoms.

Thank you so much.

Wade or Champ Matheny

Matheny in IL

shardy53 — 2009-06-22 14:59:18Z

Looking for Culpeper Matheny b. 1857 in IL. Father was Henry Matheny from KY, mother or maybe stepmother was Catherine, TN. I only find him twice in census 1870 and 1900. Might be under a middle name or Culpeper may be a middle name. He would be my husband's grgrandfather. In 1900 census he is married to an Isabella less than a year with a daughter, Sarah,13(my husband's grandmother)so I do not know Sarah's mother's name. Culpeper is an unusual name so I thought someone may know of him.

Re: Hope Plantation

ctameris — 2009-07-26 14:09:36Z

We have Matheny that were descended from the Matheny at Hope. I attended a reunion in a place a little north of Salem Oregon where they ran a ferry. We have a Jocelyn (spelled quite a few differnet ways) Matheny. I currently live just north of Hope in Prince William VA. I have info that was provide to me by members of a Matheny organization in Oregon of where they were apparently very prominent. Trying to find and confirm info and would love to share.

Morris Matheny, b.abt 1803 VA, wife Nancy, b.1822 PA, lived Vanderburgh Co., IN, son Moses, b.abt 1855

margerice1 — 2009-04-06 04:05:02Z

I have two original Matheny photos, which I would like to get back to descendants or family members. One is an original 5”x8” photograph of “Morris and Nancy Matheny – died 1867”. The other is of “Great Uncle Moses Matheny. Photos were included in a group of Bruner, Pfister, and Bauer photos. The one of Morris and Nancy looks to have been taken very, very early – possibly as early as 1865. The one of Moses is a 4”x6” picture, and he looks to be about 65/70.

I found Morris and Nancy Matheny in the 1850 and 1860 censuses for Knight (Vanderburgh Co.) IN, showing children including a child Morris and a child Moses. In 1850, father Morris was 45 (=1805), born VA, and in 1860, he was 58 (=1802). Nancy was 28 (=1822) born PA, and in 1860, she was 38. Son Morris was 3 in 1850 and 13 in 1860 and Moses was age 5 in 1860 (=1855).

Get back to me at margerice@prodigy.net if you are related to the Matheny family.

William W. Matheny d, Hope Plantation Nov 1705
Daniel died 20 Jan 1749 Hope Plantion -Williams son
James Daniel b. Hope Plantation abt 1725-1732 -Daniels son

Can't remember about Michael except there is a Michael son of James Daniel Matheny.

Re: Hope Plantation

Mathenymath — 2009-06-26 03:38:14Z

Yes! Was your Michael Matheny, son of James D, living from 1760-1847? Where was he born and where did he die? Did your Michael also have a son named Michael 1808-1880?

Re: Hope Plantation

Mathenymath — 2009-06-28 05:04:04Z

Yes, that's what I've found in other trees, but no records to verify. Also, what is really screwy about father John(b. 1695) is his wife Sarah(also b. 1695). She apparently starting birthing children at age 45 and continued until age 83!!! That's why I'm searching for other parents of Michael Sr or a second or third wife for John. Thanks for your response!!

Looking for information on Alfred D Matheny

lhbomesberger — 2009-04-01 19:04:39Z

I have seen the name spelled various ways. Matheny - Metheney and Metheny - Alfred D Matheny was b 1bt 1810 in Tennessee (info i have) He was a Dr. I first find him on the 1840 Graves County, Kentucky Census. he was also on the 1850 in the same location. He and his wife Emily Jane Parkhill daughter of Dr. John Parkhill had several children by the 1850 census. The first child was a Sarah Elizabeth Metheny born abt 1838/39, The Next info I have on them is 1852 in Freestone County, Texas. The School census shows that Alfred D was on the list listing 2 children one a Matheny and one a Clapp. Emily Jane mother was a Clapp before she married John Parkhill. This census also shows him to be DR. I also find a marriage of Sarah Elizabeth Matheny to Ithamer S Singletary Dec. 4, 1852 they have their first child 1853 My G Grandmother Josephine Singletary. I am pretty comfortable with the idea they had 2 more children. Sarah was 12 on the 1850 census by the time she married she would have just been abt 14 years
old. The 1860 census there is a 16 year old in the house named Elizabeth. Here is the puzzle for me. Sarah Elizabeth is now gone from Ithamer and the children. by the census in 1860 he has already remarried. The thing that bothers me is This Elizabeth on the 1860 Graves KY census is out of the birth order as the census is normally listed but still has Metheny as her last name. I know its the same family since the names are the same and Alfred and Emily had 2 sons while they were in Texas. Is this girl still the same did she divorce Ithamer and abandon the children to him. They came to Texas to settle the Estate of Joel Clapp and take custody of the only Clapp child the child was orphaned for whatever the cause. I have information not confirmed that Emily Jane died in Illinois and after the 1860 census Alfred D Metheny is a ghost can't find anything on him. If anyone has information pls contact me.
Thanks

Matheny/Mathany/Mathaney in VA and MD

mothergoosemagic — 2009-08-27 15:17:03Z
