There is only one gospel of Matthew and it begins with the earthly bloodline of Jesus.
The Gospel of Matthew begins with a genealogy tracing Jesus' earthly lineage back to Abraham. It establishes Jesus' connection to the lineage of King David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah coming from David's line. This genealogy sets the stage for Matthew to portray Jesus as the long-awaited fulfillment of Jewish expectations for a Messiah.

The symbols of Saint Matthew include a winged man or angel, which represents his Gospel's focus on the human descent of Jesus, and sometimes a moneybag or purse, symbolizing his former career as a tax collector before becoming an apostle.

No. Matthew 1:15-16 says: "And Eliud begat Eleazar; and Eleazar begat Matthan; and Matthan begat Jacob; And Jacob begat Joseph ..." There is no doubt that Matthew was providing what he believed to be the genealogy of Joseph, not Mary.
Abraham was probably a mythical figure. The genealogies in Matthew 1 and Luke 3 (which conflict with each other) trace Jesus' lineage through Joseph, Mary's husband; however, the Gospels claim that Joseph was not Jesus' father.

The symbol for Saint Matthew is not specifically the human manifestation of Jesus. Rather, it is just a generic man. This symbol is given Matthew because of the way he opens his Gospel narration; each evangelist is given such a symbol. Matthew's is a man because he begins his Gospel with the human geneology of Christ, tracing His ancestry through the ancestral familial line of men before Him thus establishing His human birth rights and legitimacy among the Jewish nation.
