1891 MATHEW AND MARY ANN'S DAUGHTER EMMA BORN

APRIL 26, 1891 LENA AND HADLEY PHIPPS MARRIED IN VAN ZANDT CO., TX

CA 1891-1892 IT IS SAID WHEN LENA AND HADLEY WERE NEWLYWEDS THEY WERE SHOPPING IN FORT WORTH. WHILE

HADLEY WAITED IN THE WAGON FOR HER, HE WAS APPROACHED BY A MAN WITH RED HAIR WHO ASKED IF

HE WAS MARRIED TO LENA MCCAMMON. HADLEY REPLIED, YES. THE MAN ASKED IF SHE WAS HAPPY, WHEN

TOLD SHE WAS HE SAID THAT WAS ALL HE WANTED TO KNOW AND LEFT.

THIS STORY HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO BEING MATHEW. ALTHOUGH THAT MAY BE A POSSIBILITY THERE ARE OTHERS.

IN 1870 THE WIDOW AND CHILDREN OF MATHEW A'S BROTHER JESSE WERE LIVING IN THE AREA. IN 1929 ONE SON
DIED IN TARRANT CO. I BELIEVE, SINCE NO AGE WAS EVER GIVEN FOR THE MAN, THAT IT WAS QUITE POSSIBLY ONE OF

MATHEW'S RELATIVES LIVING IN THE AREA. OF COURSE THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT THEY HAD LET MATHEW KNOW WHERE LENA WAS AND HE CAME TO CHECK ON HER BUT BEING THEY WERE LIVING IN VAN ZANDT COUNTY I THINK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LONG SHOT.

8-11-1892 ...I find an old article on Matthew A that states...Matthew A McCammon living 4 miles from town died last night. He will be buried in Oak Grove Cemetery.

In the cemetery book,

Matthew A. McCammon, husband of Mary A. 46 years 8-10-1892 Langston Howell Valley Cemetery.

12-16-1896 J N (?ISAAC NEWTON) MCCAMMON AND DOLLIE CRUTCHFIELD MARRIED IN CALLAHAN CO., TX

ALTHOUGH INDEXED AS J. N. I BELIEVE THIS IS PROBABLY I. N. THE YOUNGER BROTHER OF JESSE LEE
