Father probablyWilliam MASHBURN
or 
Father unlikelyDrury MASHBURN
Mother unlikelyElizabeth MORGAN
WARNING:  I have not documented the parentage of John MASHBURN.  Some say his father is Drury MASHBURN.  Others say his father is William MASHBURN and that the John MASHBURN who is the son of Drury and Elizabeth (MORGAN) MASHBURN is the one who married Nancy HICKS, not the one who married Matilda SCOTT.
Marriage:   14 Oct 1823, Burke Co., NC
Wife:  Matilda SCOTT
Birth:  1801/2, NC
Father:  Mr. SCOTT
Mother:  Elizabeth __?__, b. 1769/70, NC
Children — born in TN:
[There must be earlier children...]
1.  Candice MASHBURN, b. 1830
2.  Emeline MASHBURN, b. 1830/1
3.  Joseph MASHBURN, b. 1832/3
4.  Matthew L. MASHBURN, b. 1834/5

Some say the following is John and Matilda's daughter, but Mary had her first child in 1836, which, if she were their daughter, would make her only 11 years old when she conceived her first child — a child that survived, which would be even more unusual for such a young mother.
Mary Elizabeth MASHBURN, b. ca. 1813-20

    Matthew L. 15 farmer  TN
    Elizabeth Scott 80    NC
    Tennessee Mashburn  1    TN
Elizabeth is almost certainly Matilda's mother.  Tennessee is probably a grandchild, possibly the illegitimate child of either Candas or Emeline.  They are living three doors down from Joseph GIBSON, the widowed husband of Mary Elizabeth MASHBURN.
