Sgt. Matthew Goodson's wife is Catherine J. YOUNG Goodson. She was born June 15th, 1835 and died April 1st, 1918. She is buried in First Presbyterian Memorial Garden, Cabarrus County, North Carolina. Her headstone is a Memorial Stone to her husband. She was widowed at age 28.

Memorial Stone located at http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=goodson&GSfn=matthew&GSbyrel=in&GSdyrel=in&GSob=n&GRid=10187026&

I had his birthdate originally posted as February 13, 1823. The headstone states 1828. When I find who supplied the 1823 date, I will post it here. It is apparent that the headstone was placed after Mrs. Goodson's death. I am wondering if someone transposed the 1823 to 1828 due to her age being 28 when widowed. I will repost more later about this. Until then, I will post birthdate as shown on the headstone.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Goodson.
