Note: 10/20/2001 I have satisfied myself that this is correct information about Levica's husband and family. She is listed in the 1850 Barnwell census as Charles' wife on page 352b (he is the last person on page 352). She is listed in the 1860 census (Charles has died and she is 63 years old) along with grown children Benjamin and Sarah. Also listed with her is Michael W. Odom, a 60 year old millwright. They are listed as being in the vicinity of the Williston post office. Could he be the Michael W. who is our ancestor? I tend to think he is. The information about the children of Levica and Charles comes from a downloaded family tree from Family Tree Maker (vol. 45 #976).
1/10/2001 In the divorce suit, filed March 8, 1838 by Sarah, between Sarah Odom Matheny and John Matheny he claims that the "unnatural and injurious influence of Charles Matheny and his wife Lavincy, the one the brother of this defendant and the other the sister of the said Sarah" is part of the reason for their marital difficulties. This is documentary proof that Levica Odom married Charles Matheny. It also proves that Charles and John Matheny were brothers. There was also a John W. Matheny who married Sarah R. Odom, the daughter of George Odom. George Odom is possibly a son of the "other" Benjamin Odom whose wife was Thamer.
