Biography

Matilda was born about 1810. She passed away about 1843.

I have been researching Matilda for many years and always found her name to be Matilda Colby Hawke. I could never find her parents. I recently came across a source that suggested that her name might be Matilda Goldsby and that she was married to a Hawke. She is my 3rd great grandmother on my mother's side. Ramsey-1224
