Elizabeth ???

Notes:

The death certificate of son John Calvin Mathews instead showed her as Isabel Meuse, and she appears to have had a namesake grandaughter, Isabel. However, granddaughter Isabel may have been names for her maternal grandmother, Isabelle Elder Spurlin, and not Elizabeth Meuse? Mathews.

FindAGrave notes that "Elizabeth's maiden name has been found as "Meuse", "Muse" and "Mews". You will also find trees listing her with the maiden name of "Hegler/Haglar" but we've been told by those researching her line that "Hegler/Haglar" was not her maiden name." The Hegler/Hagler confusion likely arises due to the fact that a grandson, also named Reese Mathews, married Liddie Elizabeth Hegler/Haglar.

Also shown on some trees as Elizabeth Burroughs.

Elizabeth married Reese Mathews before 1840. Reese (son of Celia A. ???) was born on 30 Oct 1810 in Georgia; died on 10 Jul 1872 in San Augustine County, Texas; was buried in Thomas Cemetery, San Augustine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
