The following deed recorded in Greene County establishes not only the relationship above, but also states that John Mathews resided in Greene County, Georgia, at the time of his death.
Recorded in Deed Book "GG", at page 328, of the records of Greene County, Georgia, is the following:

Notes:

Archer Mathews was born, probably in Georgia, and evidently died in Wilcox County, Alabama, between the date of his Will, 11 September 1843, and the date of Probate, 18 October 1843. His Will, which will be given below, mentions his wife and children, but fails to name them. His wife's name has been obtained from the deed they signed and which is of record in Scioto County, Ohio [see section on General George Mathews]. He married Sarah C. and had more than one child. His Will, recorded in Will Book 1, Page 394, records of Wilcox County, Alabama, is as follows:-
"In the Name of God Amen. I Archur Mathews of the County of Wilcox and State of Alabama being of infirm bodily health but of disposing mind and memory & desirous of disposing of my worldly affairs do make publish and declare this to be my last will and testament in manner and form following, to wit,

"Thirdly It is my will & desire that my Executors should they find the proceeds from the plantation insufficient to support & educate my children in a suitable manner that they be authorized & I hereby empower them to sell a portion of my land - or the whole thereof and hire out my negroes. And, to do and perform every act and thing in and about the management of my Estate and the Education of my children as they may think most advisable for the interest of my Estate, and benefit of my children.

"Lastly I hereby nominate constitute & appoint my friends Charles Satterwhite, Ephraim Pharr & Duncan B. Smith Executors of this my Last Will & Testament - hereby ratifying and confirming this to be my last will & testament and revoking all former wills by me at any time made.

Notes:

George Green Mathews was born in Georgia, probably in Greene County, between 1794 and 1806 (birth date approximated from his age as given in the 1820, 1830, and 1840 census records of Greene County, Georgia. Inasmuch as he was married in 1816, he was doubtless born around 1794. Between the years 1840 and 1850, he either died in Greene County, or moved elsewhere. He married 1st, in Greene County, Georgia, 5 February 1816, Cassandra WELLS (see marriage records of that county), daughter of John J. WELLS and Patsy Caroline FLOURNOY, by whom he had thirteen children. She was born in Georgia, year unknown. Patsy Caroline FLOURNOY was the daughter of Matthews FLOURNOY and Elizabeth Ann PRYOR. The Flournoy family were Huguenots who fled France in the 16th Century to escape persecution, settling first in Switzerland, and eventually coming to this country. Elizabeth Ann Pryor has a well-documented ancestry which can be traced back through several Royal lines a thousand years or so. George G. Mathews married 2nd, Caroline Jane BUCKLE, who had previously married 29 May 1827, in Richmond County, Georgia, James G. RINGGOLD, by whom he had two children. He resided near Greensboro, in Greene County, Georgia from at least 1820 until sometime after the year 1840. There is no Will on record in that County, and it is entirely possible that he may have moved to Alabama as did so many of the grandchildren of Gen. George Mathews. It is apparent that by 1850, the family had split up, as we find Julia, his daughter, then 17, living with her married sister in Alabama. Most of his children moved to Alabama, as did his brother Archer and his sister, Mary Pharr. He is mentioned in the Will of Gen. George Mathews, and in a previous Chapter, I have shown the deeds from he and others, conveying the lands that the General willed them in Scioto County, Ohio.

For our initial information as to the marriages and children of George G. Mathews we are indebted to the account written by his grandson, the late George Green Mathews of Ft Lauderdale, Florida. F. E. Mathews, grandfather of the compiler stated that he recalled his grandfather, Dr. George G. Mathews, mentioning the fact that he had returned to Greene County to attend family reunions on one or more occasion.

The Deed records of Greene County, Georgia, are replete with references to Geo. G. Mathews. He evidently was very active in the buying and selling of real estate. These deeds give many clues to the family and offer proof of some relationships. One deed of interest follows:
Recorded in Deed Book "MM", at page 299, of the records of Greene County, Georgia, is the following:
"State of Georgia

Strain, Francis M. Cone and James T. Johnson harmless from all loss & damage for and on account of said promissory notes & due bills then this deed of mortgage to be void otherwise to remain in full force & virtue & subject to foreclosure upon default of said Metcalf in relation to any of said contracts.

"Signed 25th day of Sept. 1838

"E. M. Metcalf (Seal) Recorded Oct. 23, 1838.
What a story there must be behind the foregoing deed. The exact relationship (if any) between all of the parties concerned has not been determined. James T. Johnson was a son-in-law of Geo. G. Mathews, having married his daughter, Corsaira (or Corcyra) on August 9, 1838.
Two other deeds also of record in Greene County, offer proof of the name of George G. Mathews' wife, Cassandra:
Recorded in Deed Book "GG", at page 313, of the records of Greene County, Georgia, is the following
