From Faubion and Allied Families, page 417:
Mathias was the only child of William and Perthenia who lived out his entire life in the area in which he was born. He had obtained such education as was available from the schools near home but by reading and observation continued his self-education throughout his life. He had grown up on his father's farm helping with the farming and working in his father's gins and mills. He was twenty-one when his father died, and he received as his portion of the estate 300 acres of land on the banks of the French Broad, including a "set of mills and cotton gins," valued at $2,255.
No record has been found of service during the Civil War. After the Civil War he became a successful merchant while continuing to farm and raise stock. He was a life-long, active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.
There were no children by his second or third wife.
The Faubions by Sarah Faubion Pangle, Pg 28
Mathias Faubion, Son of William and Perthenia Faubion was born near Parrottsville in Cocke County, Tennessee, April 15th, 1818.
His early life was passed on his father's farm assisting in the primative agriculture of that day.
His meager education was obtained from such imperfect schools as were in vogue at that time, but by subsequent reading and observation he became one of the best informed men in the county, and was freqUently urged to become a candidate for the highest office in the commonwealth, but his aspirations did not run in that direction; he preferred the quietude of home life and the friendly social intercourse of neighbors and friends.
In his early manhood, with his brothers, he was engaged in milling operations on the French Broad river.
He was first married to Miss Matilda Wells of Buncome County, North Carolina. To this union four children were born, only one reached maturity.
His second marriage was to Mrs. Ellen Susong, an estimatable widow of the county in which they lived, and whose death occurred a few years later.
His third wife was Mrs. Emmeline Jones of Del Reo, Tennessee who still survives. With the exception of occasional trips into nearby states, his entire life was spent in the county of his birth. After the Civil War he was engaged in the mercantile business, farmings and stock raising, in which he was successful until his retirement from active business.
He embraced christianity in his early years, and was an active member of the Methodist Episcopal Church through life.
He had no enemies, and was loved and respected by all with whom he was associated. No tattered wayfarer was ever turned away who sought food and shelter at his door. When he had passed ninety three milestones on life's rugged highway, he paused and looked heavenward. His mortal remains were laid to rest beside the mother of his children, and under the sod on which his childhood feet in play had tread near a century before. Written by his devoted grandson, William Balch. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple faith more than Norman blood. (HE DID HAVE NORMAN BLOOD)His lineage traces to King Henry I of England, William the Conqueror, King of Normandy, and numerous other members of royal families from England, France, and Scandinavia.
