Surname Saturday - Matelon J. Pember

While I was at my Mom's visiting in July I remembered seeing a Bible that had been presented to one of our Pember relatives. It had no actual pages for entering the information in so it had been entered on some blanks pages.



Florance Alsina Jenkins  Born 11, Dec. 1848,

------
21 ---------- [not sure if this of any importance or not]



Presented to Matlen [Matlon or Matlin unsure] James Pember

By Mr & Mrs
Wm Jenkiens [Jenkins]
Matlen [Matlon or Matlin unsure] J. Pember
was Born Feb

Matelon J. Pember

I hope I have transcribed this correctly.

I am not exactly sure if Florance [Florence] is Matelon J. Pember's mother or not. I have not been able to find a marriage record for Florence to James Pember (whom I believe to be Matelon's father). She could possibly be Florence Alsina Goodwin.

I have found several different Marriage records for Matelon (different spellings of first name) J. Pember and some M. J. Pember but none to Christiana Sauer or Christine Sauer.

I have M. J. Pember to Lydia Jane Dotts 3 Apr 1890 in Angola, Steuben, Indiana

Then I have his last wife as Barbara J. [Stellwag] Schmitzer whom he married in 1929 per Barbara obituary.

It does appear that Florence may be Matelon's mother. I have not been able to find a birth record for him only the record in the Bible presented to him from Mr. and Mrs. Wm Jenkins. So I do not know for sure if all these marriage records are for the same Matelon Pember or not.
