General Notes: Husband - Rice Mathis
Rice Mathis born in Duplin Co. NC. about 1745 and died 1792. He married a neighbors daughter, Civil Goff, daughter of John Goff.
Rice Mathis was named Rice for his grand father Rice Price. Rice was a wheel wright as his father-in-law deeded him one of his mills in 1783. The 1790 census of Sampson Co. list Rice and Civil with three sons and three daughters. Rice died two years later, so there may have been another child born.
Sampson County Court Minutes, 1784-1900 states that Civil was the administrator of her husband, Rice Mathis's estate in 1795 in Sampson County, North Carolina.
Who were the daughters of Rice and Civil Goff Mathis? They would have been born prior to 1790
The first son John was named for Civil's father, John Goff and the second son was named Edmond for Rice's father, Edmond Mathis
After the death of Rice, the widow married a Mr. James, I do not know his first name, but the family moved to GA.
The only children known born to Rice and Civil Goff Mathis are the three sons. Most of this family history was taken from the book that I published years ago on the "Goff and Allied families". Some reference were taken from the works of Folks Huxford of Georgia, and since I have found some of this material to be in error. Attemps have been made to correct the Mathis family. If you know of any error and can provide proof, your help will be appreciated by all Mathis researchers.
Sons of Rice and Civil Goff Mathis are:
1. John Mathis, son of Rice was born 1774 Duplin Co. NC.
2. Edmond Mathis
3. James Mathis
