In 2002, I had the pleasure of meeting a Matson cousin who descended from the Matson family that stayed in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. Our family had no knowledge of any of that family, but through the internet, we were able to meet each other. We met at the home of her mother near Wellsboro and exchanged pictures and information. Of course, I learned much more than she did. It was amazing to see pictures of my grandmother in their family albums and they had no idea who she was! We helped each other identify people, and she shared the family stories that had been handed down through the generations.
Below are the pictures that were in an old family album that had been passed down to her.
