I have a copy of the marrige certificate between D.R. Matheny and Harma B. Jarvis, Tallapoosa County, Al., 1888. The witness to the marriage was a T. J. Dunson (coincidentally, the same first and middle initial as yours. I am trying to find out who this person was. May be he wasone of your relatives and maybe you were named after him. The Doctor Matheny that I mentioned went to Texas in 1900 and never came back. But Ifound out that some of the Matheny's married Dunsons in Texas which leads me to believe that maybe some of the two families traveled there together. I do know that D. R. and Harma divorced before he went to Texas and that he married and divorced again before he left. Have all that history, but may not be of interest to you.
