He was reared on his parent’s farm in Buncombe County, North Carolina, and then York County, South Carolina. This is where he met his future wife Margaret Catherine “Katy” Cunningham (1764-1837). Matthews father Thomas moved his family from York County in 1779 to Burke County, North Carolina. This is where in 1785 Matthew married Katy. To their union were born eight children.:
