Your grandfather is quite right in part of his information.Col Timothy Matlack's brother Titus married a Sarah Shute, which could be a misspelling of Schultz.The Col. has a sister named Latitla, which could be Letts.I have no record of a marriage to a Letts.Col. Timothy's family is still very much in Philadelphia and I am sure they can provide you with a lot more information.If you will search this forum site, there are several good articles as well.This will get you started.
Good Luck

PS when you get through how about a copy of your report??
