Mathews family (Virginia)
The Mathews family was a United States political family from Virginia and the American South.〔〔 Its role in public service spanned over one hundred years, and seven of its members served in the Virginia Legislature throughout British Colonial, Confederate, and United States authority. Additional members have served in West Virginia, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, and the United States in positions including US Representative, US Consul, Governor, State Supreme Court Chief Justice, State Attorney General, State Senator, and State Delegate.〔Leonard, Cynthia Miller 1978. ''The General Assembly of Virginia, July 30, 1619-January 11, 1978: a bicentennial register of members.'' Virginia State Library., pp 105, 109.〕
==History==
The Mathews surname originated in Llandaf, Wales, when Sir David Mathew (d. 1484) adopted the name of his father, Sir Mathew ap Evan.〔Lecture given by Mr J. Barry Davies at the Friends of Llandaff Cathedral 2003 annual lecture, published in "Friends of Llandaff Cathedral 71st annual report 2003/4"; Notes from site of Barry L. Matthews, www.users.qwest.net〕〔Clark, George T (1886), ''Limbus Patrum Morganiae et Glamorganiae'', London〕 Anthologist John Boots suggests that John Mathews (d. 1757) was a descendant of Sir David through his 3rd great-grandson Theobald Mathew (d. 1699), who lived in Thurles in County Tipperary, Ireland.〔Boots, John R. (1970). ''The Mat(t)hews family: an anthology of Mathews lineages''. University of Wisconsin - Madison〕 Boots states that children of Theobald Mathew settled in Ulster, Northern Ireland, when the family property was passed to a senior branch of the family,〔Rogers, Patrick (1943). ''Father Theobald Mathew: Apostle of Temperance''. Browne and Nolan Limited, 1943, pp xi-xxi.〕 and from Ulster immigrated to America during the early years of the Scotch-Irish immigration of 1717-1775.〔"...summer of 1717...", Fischer, David Hackett, ''Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America'', Oxford University Press, USA (March 14, 1989), pg. 606; "...early immigration was small,...but it began to surge in 1717.", Blethen, H.T. & Wood, C.W., ''From Ulster to Carolina'', North Carolina Division of Archives and History, 2005, pg. 22; "Between 1718 and 1775", Griffin, Patrick, ''The People with No Name'', Princeton University Press, 2001, pg 1; etc.〕 Other historians agree that Mathews was an immigrant from Ireland, though they do not speculate on his ancestry.〔Waddell, Joseph A (1902) ''Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, from 1726 to 1871'', (Waddell's Annals of Augusta County, Virginia, from 1726 to 1871 ), retrieved October 20, 2012〕〔Washington and Lee University (1890).

Melvin (1969). ''George Mathews, Frontier Patriot''. The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol. 77, No. 3 (Jul., 1969) pp. 307-328〕
An alternate view is that John Mathews was a descendant of an immigrant to Jamestown, Samuel Mathews,〔〔Combs, James Thurl (1987). "Greenbrier, C.S.A. Wartime Letters of Mason Mathews to his son Captain Joseph William Mathews, C.S.A." ''The Journal of the Greenbrier Historical Society'' (Parsons, West Virginia: Greenbrier Historical Society) V (1): 5-44.〕 whose son Samuel was a colonial governor of Virginia.〔 This view was popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, though it has not been taken by more recent researchers.〔〔Meyers, Virginia M. and Dorman, John F. (1987). ''Adventurers of Purse and Person, Virginia''. Order of First Families of Virginia〕
