• p. 29: "... There were three of the Vandiver (or Vandevere) preachers - Lumpkin, who died about 1856, A. E. and M. W. who were active for many years."
• p. 96: "... MILL CREEK, 1853. Five miles south of Rocky Face in Mill Creek Valley on the west side of Rocky Face Mountain ... 'Constitution of Mill Creek Church ... being examined upon their faith faith and found orthodox were constituted into a church, 27th of February, 1853, by the following presbytery; i.e., Brethren Lumpkin Vandevere, M. W. Vandiver and A. E. Vandiver, which is known and called by the name Mill Creek Baptist Church of Christ.'"
• "The Rev. Mathew Vandiver," Franklin County Register [Carnesville] 1 March 1887.
• THE REV. MATHEW VANDIVER. We saw a newspaper statement a few days ago, that a man living in Oconee county had five children all of whose names began with D. Rev. Matthew Vandiver who once lived in this county had six children, five of whom had names begining with A. His childrens names were Alfonzo, Almarine, Albert, Alfred, Artamissa and Desdemonia. Mr. Vandiver was one of seven brothers all of whom were Baptist preachers. Two of his six sons, Almariue and Albert were preachers. As a minister, Almarine was rather indifferent, but Albert though quite a young man, was ___* a very able minister. He died early in life. Mathew Vandiver was considered an able man, and forty-five years ago, he filled a large space in the minds and hearts of the people in this county. It is likely that no minister since his day, has been more noted among the people than he, yet there are hundreds of grown men and women, in this county who were born and raised here, that never heard his name. Such is life and such is fame.

NOTE: The obituary above was written almost 20 years after his death. The information is nominally correct, with surprising error like "Mr. Vandiver was one of seven brothers all of whom were Baptist preachers." Matthew was one of twelve brothers and to date only six have been identified as having been ministers.
