Shown at right, the 1850 and 1860 census enumerations show that Joseph S. Matthews was living in the household of his father, James Matthews.
The 1870 and 1880 census enumerations that follow show Joseph as the head of his own family.
From a "Suggest a Correction" contributor: He had 8 children, 7 of whom lived, in the first 14 years of his marriage. In 1886, after farming his portion of the Matthews' land for 30 years, he became incapacitated, so he sold his farm to James H Davis and moved 4 miles to Wheatfield, Indiana, Pennsylvania. He lived 12 more years.
