Notes for Matthew Latta - Latta Collection, Rare Book Room, Library of Congress. Information given by John Latta descendents and further research. "If he came from Orange Co., NC, there could be a good reason why he might not be found in the records. In the Wtr 99 issue of the Latta Genealogy Newsletter, a "Mr. Olds" is quoted: I do not find any bonds in the Letter "L" case, as far back as 1776-80. The records of the County of Orange NC were removed in January 1781, on the approach of the British army, and were buried in the woods, and they were soiled by the rain, etc." Matthew Latta is listed in the Woodford County tax lists beginning in 1790: 1790 - Matthew Latta 1791 - not found 1792 - Matthew Late 1793 - Matthew Late 1794 - Matthew Latta 1795 - Matthew Latta 1796 - Alexander Lattey and Matthew Lattey 1797 - Alexander Lattey and Matthew Lattey 1798 - List not found 1799 - Matthe Latty 1800 + see other lists2DEC1800: "Hinton and Latta to Boone": Woodford Co.

LATTA NAME: (From "A Dictionary of the Family Names of the United Kingdom", 'endeavoured' by Mark Antony Lower. A Facsimile Reprint by Heritage Books, Inc., 1996. p. 188. LATTER: A lat in many dialects signifies a lath, from he A-Sax, latta, asseres; and hence it has been conjectured that a Latter means a lath-cleaver or splitter.
