thanks Norrie,
Robert Matthews married Angelique Valliere in 1821 after he emigrated to Canada.

Hi Nicky,
I don't think they were brothers.  But I do think it very likely they were cousins.  So far I only have one sibling for my Robert, named William.  I do know that Robert had 2 nephews come to Canada, so I do know he had at least one sibling.  And one of those nephews, James, named his daughter Agnes King Matthews, presumably after her grandmother. So I am fairly confident that Agnes King was the mother of my Robert.  Now to piece together the rest of the family!

Thanks Eva,
I am pretty sure that the child of William Matthew is a grandchild of Agnes King.  It took me a while to figure this out- the first William Matthew mentioned in the parish record is the grandfather William King.  I believe the second mentioned is his son, William Matthew, and the child is at the foot of William Jr's mother (Agnes King).  This for me that my Robert (son of Agnes and William) had a brother named William.
 
I also know from church records here in Canada that my Robert  had two nephews come to Canada, named Robert and James- they may be sons of William.  I will definitely take another look at the Fife historical society site.  I am planning a visit to Markinch this summer, and I'm hoping to meet up with anyone researching the Matthew/Matthews while there.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Norrie,
I am looking for any Matthew or Matthews headstones, particularly those of William Matthew and Agnes King (Matthew) both died 1802.  Thanks for your help.

Hi Nicky,
My great great grandfather, Robert Matthew(s) was born in Markinch in 1796, I believe his parents were William Matthew and Agnes King.  There are many of the family buried in the churchyard there, and I am trying to piece together how they are all related.  I believe your Alexander may be a nephew of my Robert.  I would be interested to hear how your research has progressed.
