Thomas Mathews
"Thomas Mathews is first spoken of as a citizen of Norfolk, Virginia and a brave officer of the Revolution. It is painful to the historian in search of facts relative to the Sages and Heroes of the American Revolution to be unable to ascertain even the birthplace of many who did good service in the glorious cause of independence. So in this case. Mr. Mathews was a prominent man whorose to the rank of General; was Speaker of the House of Delegates in Virginia and nobly performed the public and private duties of life that devolved upon him. He died at Norfolk, Virginia on the 20th of April 1812."
