Benjamin Matthews born in England 1776 wife: Salina Ruth Matthews 1785,
Son: John Matthews born 1812 England
Daughter: Mira Matthews born 1814
Son: Jarvis Matthews born 1816 (we're told London or North Hampton, England but could have been united states.)
Benjamin Matthews was 4x my great-grandfather he and his family moved to Waterford Ohio, USA from England but that's as far back as I can go, I'm hoping to be able to find more info from there. we haven't got any stories or theories about them prior to immigrating to the United States.
any help would be greatly appreciated. I've even tried contacting a few people from the UK via Facebook, but I've had no luck. For all we know, maybe the family wasn't English at all, we have no idea.
