Interesting puzzle you present. I don't have a Matilda Jowell born 1824 in SC. Quite possible she was an, as yet, unlisted daughter of Elihu & Elizabeth Rebecca [I do have a Matilda Jowell born before 1820 in SC or AL who married a Davis.] I'm pretty sure this couple were still in SC in 1824, but have done little research on this line [Elizabeth R Jowell Goggins was a niece of my multi-great grandfather].
The Goggins info I have came from Don Richardson & was passed/mailed to me by a Goggins/Watts descendant. The pages were not numbered, became disordered, & I cannot for the life of me put them back in the correct order. I suspect there is a page or two missing, but have not been able to get Don Richardson to respond to my emails. Maybe you can get an answer from him.
Madison's middle name is interesting as I have a Jowell/Stovall marriage -- Bannister Stovall b.abt.1810 [son of Josiah Jr] m. Polly Jowell, sister of my 2 great grandfather. But I have no Cobb's in my database; only that Elizabeth Rebecca's father, Gabriel, was in Cobb Co GA in the 1830s.
If I discover anything that might help with this mystery, I will certainly contact you.
