The above excerpt from 454Philip Henry's will also proves that 227Matilda married 226Phillip Groover. They probably married by 1829 at the latest, as previously explained. For more information on their marriage, their lives together, etc., see his profle since that information won't be repeated here.

We know 227Matilda outlived her husband, since she's mentioned in some court documents pertaining to her deceased husband's estate. Some of the documents aren't explicitly dated, but are probably from 1884 (judging by context).5
