Message Board Post:
Hello,
I have been researching the Matheny family for a woman whose family is connected (but not
related) to mine. She is the granddaughter of Mattie Matheny and the great-granddaughter
of a Morris and Nancy Matheny who lived in Vanderburgh County, Ind., in he mid-1800s.
Anyway, I just noticed this post of yours from 2006 and suspect that the Morris and Nancy
Matheny you mention is the same as hers. Based on Nancy's age, along with the ages of
the children, I'm guessing Nancy was Morris' second wife.
My question for you is this: How do you know Nancy's maiden name is Bennett? And do
you know much about this family?
I believe both Morris and Nancy died in the 1860s, not long after Mattie, their last
child, was born. Morris and Nancy don't show up in the 1870 census, but the children
do -- living with other families. I know Morris died in 1867, but don't know the
cause. Not sure about Nancy.
I'd be interested to hear from you.
Andy
