Welcome

David Elmon Matthews was born February 8, 1855. Martha Adline Holt was born July 19, 1866. On August 5, 1883 David and Martha married. From 1884 to 1905 they had 12 children, most of whom had children of their own, who then had children, and so forth. As a result, as of 2006 there are more than 1,500 descendants of David and Martha Matthews and their 12 children. That's why there is an annual reunion of the Matthews family --- and you can find information about them on the Reuninons page.

If anyone in the Matthews family, or any of the families that descended from one of the members of this family, have any additional information or photos you would like included in this website, or any corrections that should be made, please make a post in the site's forum that clearly identifies the person or persons you are referring to and any changes you'd like to see on that person's webpage.

A tremendous amount of work went into compiling all this information about the Matthews family. Thanks should be given to Joyce Matthews and Tommy Matthews for having done all the work of collecting and organizing this information.
