GILLIARD, MATHEWS -
I am researching the MATHEWS family name. My great-grandfather had a place in Bluefield,
W. Virginia where he cut granite to make tombstones. While living there, my grandfather went to
join him. In a diary that belonged to my Great Great Grandmother, she rights "Jack <my
grandfather> and Shirley came here <to Sunapee, New Hampshire> on November 17, 1928 by
car and stayed until November 23, 1928." But...we do not know who this Shirley is. Can
anyone help with this information??? My grandfather's name was John Warren "Jack"
Mathews. His father was John Edward Warren who married a Rachel Gilliard from
Florida. Thank you! Jennifer Harness, Chattanooga, TN
