This is not a complete family group. John Donohew’s online GEDCOM file10 shows 7 known children (but no known wife.) I am only entering Matthew’s son Alfred who married second my half 5G Aunt Susan Brown and several of whose descendants from his first marriage married descendants of John W. Alfrey and Mary Jane Pettit, and Matthew’s son James whose daughter Amanda married John Hall, and whose two great-grandsons married daughters of John Pettit and Lizzie Hardin, and Matthew himself so as to show the connection between these various Donohues who married into the Pettit, Hall and Alfrey families of Morgan and Rowan counties.
