"James M., born 20 Nov. 1823, son of John R. and Lucinda Mayfield
Matlock (John R. used the name Medlock). He married and had four
children in Arkansas, Lucy, Gus, Columbus and Irving (Pete). His wife
died and he left all four of these children with Semantha Medlock
Ballard, his sister who had no children. He became engaged in the
slave-trade business and later returned to Ga. and Ala. from which
states the family moved to Ark. He married a second time and raised a
family and never returned to Arkansas. No further records. (This
information taken from the notes of Marcus A. Matlock and sent to me
by Mrs. Jack H. Matlock of Ft. Worth, Texas, whose husband descends
from John R.)
