John MATHEWS

• BIRTH: ABT 1706, Ireland [S58]
  John Mathews' birthplace is not known. Early authors of Augusta
  County, VA, histories rightly note that the upper Shenandoah Valley
  was
  settled almost exclusively by Scots-Irish. One genealogical
  researcher
  noted his birthplace as County Antrim, Ireland which may be correct,
  but
  no evidence was given. J.R. Boots in his 'The Ma(t)hews Family'
  includes
  considerable Welsh lineage going back to about 400 AD and has one
  branch
  of the Mathews family settling in Ulster Ireland in the 1600s. One
  Mathews whose first name is unknown apparently had a son named John
  who
  would have been born in the era of the John who came to America. In
  addition the son John was not mentioned in the father's will which
  could
  have been because the son had left for America.
  
  The evidence is tenuous but tempting. The name Mathews is
  certainly
  of Welsh origin, but was common in England at this time. The name is
  not
  typical of Scotland. We do know the names of the settlers on the
  Borden
  Tract and there are many names which are probably Scots-Irish, but
  there
  are also at least one other family close to the Mathews whose name is
  of
  Welsh origin, i.e., Bowen. One source, Beverley Ruffin, 'Augusta
  Parish,
  Virginia, 1738-1780,' (Berryville, VA: Virginia Book Company, 1970),
  p.
  14, says that John was probably an Anglican when he settled but
  provides
  no evidence for this statement. If so, then John was likely of
  English
  or Welsh lineage but could also have come from Ireland. This writer
  tends to believe that J.R. Boots is probably correct in John being of
  Welsh lineage.

• EVENT: AFT 07 JUL 1725
  The order of birth for the first 5 children is my evaluation based on
  other data such as minority at time of will, given 5 shillings in
  will, and boys being workers on roads. These first 5 may be
  interchanged. Unknown birthdates are estimated by counting two years
  between births. This would also place John Mathews' birth, if this
  was his only marriage, about 1706.
  
  There are two John Mathews listed in Augusta Militia in 1742
  indicating that John Mathews, Jr. is the eldest son, serving in the
  militia at age 16/17.

  Witnesses:

• EVENT: 06 NOV 1739, Orange, VA [S151]
  Benjamin Borden, Sr., obtained grant of 100,000 acres from Virginia
  Governor William Gooch on the condition that he settle 100 families in
  the area; he might have obtained the patent between 1735 and 1736, but
  it was dated as noted

• EVENT: BETWEEN 1729 AND 1739, Augusta, VA [S58]
  Most likely earliest date of immigration to the Colonies and the most
  likely date of arrival in VA. Since Borden obtained the grant 6 Nov
  1739 by settling the families, it is assumed that John Mathews was
  settled by that time.

• EVENT: JUN 1742, Augusta, VA [S150]
  Elected Captain of Militia early in the year and by June was listed as
  a member of both John McDowell's and John Buchanan's companies,
  indicating he owned two parcels of land. Both companies were under
  Col. James Patton.

• EVENT: BEF 1744, Augusta, VA
  had built mill before this time

• EVENT: DEC 1742, Augusta, VA [S150]
  Troubles with a party of Indians, as reported by Col. Patton.
  
  "Augusta County, Xber, 23, 1742
  Honored Sir:
  Thirty-sic Indians appeared in our County ye 5th instant well equipped
  for War. Pretending a visit to the Catabaus, they had a letter dated
  the 10th of 9ber from James Silver near Harris's ferry in Pensilvania
  directed to one William Hogg a Justice o'peace desiring him to give
  them a pass to travel through Virginia to their enemies, which letter
  they shewed here, and it served as a pass where Silter's hand was well
  known. Instead of going directly along the road they visited most of
  our plantations, killing our stock, and taking provisions by force,
  the 14th instant they got into Burden's land about thirty miles from
  my house, the 15th Capt. McDowel by an express informed me of their
  insolent behavior as also of the uneasiness of the neighbors, and
  desired my directions, on which I wrote to him and Capt. John Buchanan
  that the law of nature and nations obliged us to repel an enemy force
  by force, but that they were to supply those Indians with provisions
  which they should be paid for at the Government charge, at the same
  time to attend their motions until they got fairly out of the County.
  The 16, 17, and 18 instant they killed several valuable horses,
  besides carrying off many of their luggage, which so exasperated our
  men that they upbraided our two Captains with cowardice, nevertheless
  our Captains to prevent mischief sent two men with a white flag the
  19th instant, desiring peace and friendship, to which they answered "O
  Friends are you their, have we found you" and on that fired on our
  flag, killed Capt. McDowell and six more of our men, on which Capt.
  Buchanan gave the word of command and bravely returned ye compliment,
  and stood his ground with a very few hands, (for our men were not all
  come up) in 45 minutes the Indians fled, leaving eight of our men dead
  on the spot, amongst whom were two of our Captains. Our Captain
  pursued with only eight men several hundred yards, the enemy getting
  into a thicket, he returned to the field where he could not by any
  means prevail on his men to keep and stand by him. The night before
  the engagement, I heard of the Indians behavior, and marched up
  with-three men, and met our Captain returning 14 miles distance from
  where they had engaged to which place I went next day and brought off
  our dead, being eight in number, Capt. Buchanan having taken off ye
  wounded the day before. I have ordered our Patrowlers on all
  frontiers well equipped, and drafted out a certain number of Young men
  out of each company to be in readiness to reinforce any party or place
  that first needs help, having ordered the Captains to guard their
  ownprecincts have appointed places and rendezvous where each neighbor
  may draw to our occasion, and have called in the stragling families
  that live at a distance.
  We have certain news of one hundred and fifty Indians seen seventy
  miles above me, and about the same number lately crost Patowmack on
  their way up here.
  A few medicines for our wounded would be very acceptable, I am,
  James Patton."
