One source states that there "were.....children by the third wife, who settled in the north-west of Ireland." The foregoing statement also lends credence to the statement in the data gathered by the late Hon. George Green Mathews of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida who stated that John Mathews of Augusta County, Virginia, who married Ann Archer, was an Irish immigrant and was a grandson of Theobald Mathew. Thus far it has not been possible to determine from whence came this information and what were the names of all of the above Theobald's children. The other sources used in addition to the one cited above, are in substantial agreement, although not as complete as to the children of Theobald Mathew, Esq. The names of four of Theobald's children by his third wife were obtained from pedigrees on file in the office of the Deputy Record Keeper, Public Record Office of Northern Ireland. The will of Theobald Mathew indicates that he had five children by his third wife:
"Abstracts of Prerogative Wills
Theobald Mathews, Annfield, co. Tipperary, 1703
Ref. T681

"I Theobald Mathews heretofore of Anfield Co Tipperary in ye Kingdom of Ireland but now of ye Parish of St. James Westminster in the County of Middlesex, Esq.

"Whereas I have settled and bestowed several partes of my estate upon my children by my 1st and 2 wives to the utmost I have been able to doe reserving very little for my own subsistence and whereas by reason of ye late warrs and troubles in Ireland I have for several years past been kept out of the possession of the lands reserved to myself there and hade soe little of the roots thereof that I am likely to leave my now wife and 5 children by her unprovided for! Now to the end that that lieele I have left may be the better secured..... for their use I doe hereby give and berqueath unto my brother Henry Nevill of Hold in the Co. of Leicester Esq. all my arrears of rents that shall be due at my death..... bills, bonds foods, chattles, leases etc., and all my estate reall and personall which I have in my power to dispose of and do also, constitute the said Henry Nevill Sole Exor. this my last will.

"Will signed 1695-6."
The Will of Catherine Mathew, widow of Theobald is exasperatingly brief:
"Abstract of Prerogative Will
Catherine Mathew, Dublin, widow, 1742

"I Catherine Mathew of the Citty of Dublin widow and relict of Theobald Mathew Esq. deceased.....

"I bequeath:-
"to my eldest son Theobald Mathew 10 pounds and no more. to my younger son Peter Nevil Mathew 10 pounds and no more. all remainder to my two daughters Mary and Catherine Mathew share and share alike.

"Executrixes:- daughters Mary and Catherine Mathew.

"Will signed 11 March 1741

"Witnesses:- Thos. Dillon; Michael Usher; Adam de Glatigny. Notary Public.

"Probate to Executrixes 7 July 1742."
One cannot help but wonder why the fifth child was not mentioned in her will; was it because he was deceased? Or perhaps had emigrated from the country?

Notes:

Captain George Mathew was born c1581. He married 1st, the daughter of Sir John Domes, by whom he had two children. Mrs. George Mathew, nee' Domes, ob. 1610. Captain George Mathew married 2nd, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Pointz of Acton, Gloucestershire, widow of Thomas Butler, Viscount Thurles, who was the oldest son of Walter, 11th Earl of Ormonde, by whom she had had issue - three children, all of whom were brought up at Thomastown Castle. Captain George Mathew ob. at Tenby, Oct. 1670, aged 89. He was the founder of the Irish branch of the family. In the Funeral Entries, vol. vii., p. 18, preserved in the Record Tower at Dublin, the name of Captain George Mathew is spelt "Matthewes." Shortly after his decease his widow entered the Order of St Benedict and ob. a nun, circ. 1675.
Having accepted the foregoing as the relevant authority for this Captain George Mathew, it would be well, at this point to quote directly from some other sources which are in slight conflict with the same, chiefly in points of spelling, but also in that they only mention his having had one marriage.

"George, eldest son of Edmond Mathew of Radyr m. in 1620, his first cousin, Mary, dau. of Sir T. Poyntz, of Acton, co. Gloucester, widow of James, Viscount Thurles, and mother of James, first Duke of Ormond, and settled in Ireland."

"George Mathew, who m. a dau. of Sir John Pornes, Kt., who was the widow of the Earl of Ormond, and had a son, Theobald Mathew, Esq."

".....a fon George, who became feated at Thurles in the county of Tipperary, took to wife Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Pointz of Acton in county of Gloucefter, Bart. (relict of Thomas Butler Vifcount Thurles, who died before his father Walter eleventh Earl of Ormond) and by this lady wqas anceftor to the families of thurles, Thomaftown and Annfield, which eftates vefted in the prefent Lord; the faid George deceafed at Tymby in October, 1636....."
And finally, -
"George Mathew of Radyr, which he sold, and migrated to Ireland, and was of Thurles, Captain. By the kindness of Sir B. Burke the following document is appended: "George Matthewes of Thurles in the county of Tipperary, in the Kingdom of Ireland, Esq., s. and h. of Edmond M. of Rader in Glamorganshire in Wales Eng., tooke to wife Elizabeth, d. of Sir John Pointz of Gloucestershire in the Kingdom of England, Kt and Bt. and relict of the R.H. Thomas Butler Viscount of Thurles aforesaid, by whome he had issue 2 sonnes and one daughter..... The said George departed this mortall life at Tymby and was interred at Tymby aforesaid the of October 1636."
His Will was dated 3 September 1670. The foregoing "1636" is obviously a misprint in the source cited. Issue of Captain George Mathew and Miss Domes:
017.21X.11. Toby8 Mathew who accompanied him [e.g. Captain George] to Ireland, 1610, and was drowned when returning to England with Viscount Thurles, bringing money from his father for Lewis of Van, to pay off the mortgages on the Radyr Estate. The shipwreck occurred on the Skerries, 15 Dec., 1619, and all hands perished.
017.21X.12. William8 Mathew, who last had charge of the relic of St. Teilo, ob. s.p. 1658, at Llandeilo, in Pembrokeshire, when the Relic passed into other hands.....
Issue of Captain George Mathew and Mary/Elizabeth Pointz:

Notes:

"MATHEW OF LLANDAFF, RADIR, &c. This very ancient and
long-continuing family derived from Gwilym, son of Gwaethfoed, Lord of Cardigan, by Morfydd, dau. of Ynyr, King of Gwent, through Gruffydd Gethin, ranked as tenth from Gwaethfoed, Ivan ap Gruffyd Gethin, who m. Cecil, dau. and heiress of Watkin Llewelyn of Llandaff, of the lineage of Iestyn ap Gwrgant. He settled at Llandaff. His son, Mathew Ivan Gruffydd, and his grandson, David Mathew, introduced the surname which never ceased for twelve generations. They intermarried with the Flemings of Flemingston, Morgans of Tredegar, Gamages of Coity, Stradlings of St. Donat's, &c., and branched off at early periods into the vigorous families of Mathew of Castell Menych (Monk's Castle) and Mathew of Radir, Mathew of Aberaman, and Mathew of Sweldom and Llancaiach, all of whom are now extinct. The house of Llandaff supplied sheriffs for Glamorgan in the years 1546, 1769, and member of Parliament in the person of Thomas Mathew, father and son, in 1744, 1756. This same Thomas Mathew, sen., of Llandaff, was Rear-Admiral and Admiral of the White; and Thomas the son was a major in the army. In his election he polled 954 votes against 212 given for his 'opponent,' Charles Van, Esq. By his wife, Anne, dau. of Robert Knight, Esq. of Sutturn, he had, besides several other children, a son, also named Thomas Mathew, Esq., of Llandaff, the sheriff of 1769, who d. 1771, s.p. The Mathews of Llandaff bore the arms of Gwaethfoed - Or, a lion rampant regardant sa., crowned gu.

"MATHEW OF RADIR. The same in descent with the foregoing, and branching off from Llandaff with Thomas, third son of David, who has been described as first settling the surname of Mathew. Thomas m. Cate, dau. and co-h. of Morgan Llewelyn ap Ivan. Their eldest son was William, who became Sir William Mathew, Kt., of Radir. He was succeeded by his son Sir George Mathew, Kt. This family supplied several sheriffs for the co. of Glamorgan; ex. gr., William Mathew, 1567, do., 1579; Henry Mathew, 1589; Thomas Mathew 1613.

"Edmund Mathew, Esq. of Radir, a younger brother, succeeded his two elder brothers, who d.s.p., as possessor of the estates, and was himself succeeded by his eldest son, George Mathew, who m. a dau. of Sir John Pornes, Kt., who was the widow of the Earl of Ormond, and had a son, Theobald Mathew, Esq., who is called in "J.H.'s Ms. 'Lord of Bishopstown and Llandaffe,' not of Radir. He m. three times and had George, two other sons, and daus., but we discover no traces of their further history. Theobald Mathew d. AD 1700. No little confusion exists in the MSS. respecting the marriages and successions of these later Mathews of Radir; but about the high position and influence of the family in this co. there cannot be a doubt."

Another source says, in part:
"MATHEW, Lord LANDAFF. Edward Mathew, or ap-Mathew, anceftor to this noble Lord, refisded at Rader in the county of Glamorgan about the year 1660, where he inherited a good eftate, principally confifting of chiefries, being the remains of an ample fortune pofeffed by his anceftors from time immemorial; he was alfo poffeffed of the town of Landaff in fame county, where the prefent Lord, in whom it now vefts, takes his title. - He left iffue a fon George, who became feated at Thurles in county of Tipperary, took to wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir John Pointz of Acton in county of Gloucefter, Bart. (relict of Thomas Butler Vifcount Thurles, who died before his father Walter eleventh Earl of Ormond) and by this lady was anceftor to the families of Thurles, Thomaftown and Annfield, which eftates vefter in thie prefent Lord; the faid George deceafed at Tymby in October, 1636 having had iffue one daughter Elizabeth, and two fons, viz: Theobald or Toby, his heirs; and George....."
"Sir Edmund Mathew, M.D., Sheriff, 1592. Succeeded to all the estates of his father; m. the dau. and heir of Bartholomew Skerne, of Long Ashton; ob. 1660, aged 102. He cast ordnance for Spain at his furnaces near Cardiff."

Edmund married ? Skerne WFT est 1572-1606. ? (daughter of Bartholomew Skerne) was born WFT est 1541-1566; died WFT est 1584-1654. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

"M. P., High Sheriff of Glamorgan, 1544. Died 10 November 1557. Married 1st, Mary Anne Herbert, daughter of Sir William Herbert of Colebrook..... Sir George was knighted 1553. He revived the privileges of the Marcher Lordship held by his ancestors, and obtained confirmation of them from the Bishop of Llandaff. Sir George was custodian of the relic of St. Teilo. He married 2nd, Barbara, daughter and heir of Sir Robert Bret of Cossington." The chief difference in the foregoing account and others is that his first wife is also mentioned as "Margaret, dau. of Sir William Herbert of Colebrook....."

George married Barbara Bret WFT est 1531-1556. Barbara (daughter of Sir Robert Bret) was born WFT est 1516-1539; died WFT est 1561-1627. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
