I have just come into the posession of a number of legal documents relating to George Mathew of Thomastown, dated 1650's onward, relating to land transfers, loans and the like. These are amongst several hundred documents of all sorts dating from 1603 up until 1890's of many different surnames, I am still going through them but some relate to the Duke of Ormond, some relate to George Mathew in Llandaff, and as I have only just discovered this site it seems they may be of interest to you all. I will be trying to catalogue as many as I can over the next few weeks, but some are quite difficult to read. I will try to get them in some sort of date order.

We will all be very interested in seeing your final product.  Any way any of us can assist?

The small amount of information I have on Edmund is that he became guardian of his brother's minor children and left his estate to them when he died.

For those looking for Robert Mathew who settled in Ballymena, I know of a branch of this family who settled originally in Belfast before 1600.  They were from Wales, Pantygored, Pentyrch, Cardiff, to be specific.  William Mathew was the first of this family to settle in Belfast.  His son, Robert, settled in Glenarm, Ballymena.  His great grandson, also Robert, as was his father, remained there.  If we can call him, the last one I have a record of, Robert Matthews IV, was born some time around 1700.  His father died in 1752. I used "Matthews" because his father is the first of this line who changed the spelling of the surname Mathew to Matthews.  His siblings were John, William, Hans & Martha.  William and his offspring moved to Briarfield, County Tyrone.  William's grandson moved to New South Wales.  I have no idea if this is in fact your Robert's line, but it is certainly possible.  If this your line, it goes back to Robert ap Mathew ap Ieuan, brother of Sir Daffydd Mathew.
