father was Tagawa Shichizaemon (田川七左衛門) whom she named her second son after. The samurai Tagawa Yazayemon was an ashigaru according to Hirado folklore and there was nothing else describing him as that according to Inagaki. In Taiyo, an article was written by Matsui Nobuaki which said that Tagawa Yazayemon was not Tagawa Matsu's father but instead her father was Tagawa Shichizayemon. Wong said he cannot link her to the Ashigaru or the Tagawa samurai family.
