  Still another Charley Weathers is very close to the profile of our Charley from Arkansas County, Arkansas.  Genealogies report him as the son of Joshua Weathers (Birth 22 May 1846 in Alabama, Death 3 Dec 1885 in Johnson County, Arkansas) and Tennessee (Tenny) Mathis (Birth 9 Apr 1858, Death 3 Apr 1884 in Clarksville, Johnson, Arkansas).  He was born in Coal Hill, Johnson County, Arkansas.  I have not been able to connect this family with the Weathers group in Arkansas County, but they appear to have come from the same Weathers clan in North Carolina and Virginia.
  
  Charley Weathers of Coal Hill married Nora West.
