SAMPSON COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA

MATHIS FAMILY

Roster



The within document is an attempt to list every Mathis that appears in Sampson County, North Carolina records prior to 1850, with a general reference to the records wherein they appear. An attempt has been made to separate those with the same given name where possible. Needless to say there is a measure of subjectivity involved, especially if the given name is very common (i.e. James, John, William). The following table list in excess of 100 Mathis males or females in Sampson County, North Carolina prior to 1850.
