Notes:

William Mateer lived and died on the farm in Allen Township which his father
William had inherited from the original James McTeer. He was a faithful member
of Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, where he was known as "Singing Billy"
because he led the music with a "sonorous voice and a wonderful facility" for
adapting words to familiar tunes.

A legal release on 28 October 1828 stated that William Mateer is an "habitual
drunkard."

On 3 September 1829 John Mateer Jr. was appointed Administrator of the Estate
of William Mateer of Allen Township; bond was set for $400 with Robert Mateer
and John Mateer as sureties.

On 12 August 1834 John Mateer, eldest son of William Mateer, late of Allen
Township, deceased, stated in court that his father had died intestate leaving
a widow Rebecca and six children, namely, the petitioner, William, Henry
Wilson, Margaret Jane who married William Wise, Mary and Elizabeth. Three of
these children were minors: Daniel Mohler was guardian for Henry and AndrewChapman for Mary and Elizabeth. William Mateer died seized of 120 acres in
Allen Township, bounded by lands of John Mateer the Elder, David Hurst, Henry
Longnecker, Henry Myers and John Mateer of James; and now John Mateer the
petitioner requests an Inquest of Partition. On 2 September 1834 the Inquest
reported that this property, which was appraised at $25 per acre, could not be
conveniently divided; and on 10 December 1834 John Mateer, the eldest son,
elected to accept the real estate at valuation. Then on 2 April 1836 William
Mateer, Andrew Chapman as Guardian for Mary and Elizabeth Mateer, Daniel Mohler
as Guardian for Henry Wilson Mateer, and William Wise in the right of his wife
Margaret Jane acknowledged receipt of $344.05.5 for each share, with interest
on one-third to the widow for her lifetime.

Notes:

On 3 Nov. 1817 Andrew Mateer was appointed Administrator of the intestate
estate of James McTeer of Lisburn. Bond was set for $600.

On 15 May 1818 Andrew Mateer, brother and one of the heirs of James Mateer,
late of Allen Twp., deceased, came into Court to state that James had died
intestate "leaving one brother and three sisters of the whole blood surviving",
namely Andrew Mateer, Alice wife of Nathaniel Wilson, Isabella widow of John
Creigh deceased, Mary widow of Charles Pattison, "and the issue of two
brothers", namely, Samuel Mateer's five children, John, Andrew, James, Samuel
and William, the last three of whom are minors; and John Mateer's four
children, Mary Ann, Martha, John and Andrew, all minors. The principal assets
of this estate were a two story brick house on the south side of Pomfret St. in
Carlisle, and in Lisburn a brick house and several lots. On 18 Sept. 1821 the
estate had a balance of $130,29 to be distributed, and arrangements were made
to dispose of the real estate at public vendue. After several postponements
for lack of buyers, all of these properties were sold on 16 Dec. 1825 to
Isabella Creigh for $1066.50.

Buried in Silver Spring Cemetery.

Married at Big Spring Presbyterian Church.

Andrew Mateer was an early settler of Lisburn in Lower Allen Township, where he
had property in a loop of Yellow Breeches Creek. Because he was engaged in
many speculative real estate transactions, particularly with the buying and
selling of tax escheated property, Andrew's name occurs frequently in the deed
indexes of Perry and York as well as of Cumberland County. However, detailed
information on these conveyance is omitted here as having little or no
genealogical value.

In his younger days Andrew may have been a carpenter. A list of the members of
the Carpenters' Society of Carlisle, drawn up about 1795 includes Andrew
Metter, Charles Pattison, his brother-in-law, and James Minteer, his brother.
Members of this Society agreed not to work under carpenters who were not
fellow-members and thus earned for their organization the designation as the
"earliest Labor Union on record."

In the record of his marriage, and elsewhere as administrator and witness, he
is identified as Major Andrew Mateer; so he must have had some military
connection in the local community. Later he was a Justice of the Peace, known
as "Squire Mateer."

In the 1820 census of Allen Township, Cumberland County, Andrew Mateer's
household was credited with four males, three 26-45 and one under five years;
three females, one 26-45, one 16-26 and one under five years.

The will of Andrew Mateer of the town of Lisburn, Cumberland County, written 29
June 1838, probated 13 August 1839, begins with an explanation, "in consequence
of misfortunes some years since my own estate was sold by the Sherrif" but "my
sister the late Isabella Creigh by her will bequeathed to my children nearly
all of her estate and appointed me guardian and executor." Records on that
property have all been accounted for in Orphans Court, and the testator now
asks that another guardian be appointed for his youngest daughter, Margaret I.
Mateer; he further requests that any property remaining in his estate be
distributed according to intestate law. Executrices: the widow Ann Mateer and
daughter Mary A. Mateer. A codicil dated 21 June 1839 "since daughter Mary Ann
has since married Samuel Clerk" asks that he be appointed joint executor in her
place. Witnesses to the will: George Anderson, William M. Mateer; to the
codicil, Isaac Lloyd and George Anderson.

Notes:

According to the statement of John Lowrie Mateer, William McTeer married second
"a widow who had two husbands, James Grimes or Graham and Thomas Robinson."
Research in Carlisle has produced no deeds or probate for a Thomas Robinson nor
for an appropriate James Graham with a wife Jane. One Thomas Robinson, born
about 1725, son of Philip Robinson, a miller of Hanover Twp., Lancaster Co.,
died childless in 1780 leaving a wife Jane. Thomas' will, written 25 Nov 1780,
probated 4 Jan. 1781, bequeathed one-half his personal property and all the
produce of his plantation to the widow during her widowhood; other bequests
mention three brothers Samuel, George and John Robinson, a brother-in-law
Robert Thompson, a niece Mary Robinson, three nephews named Thomas, and
indentured servant Ann Belson, "to finish out her time with my wife at her
disposing." But there is nothing here to say who this Jane Robinson was before
her marriage nor what became of her after Thomas' death.

On 21 December 1770 James McTeer of Allen Twp., Cumberland Co., conveyed to his
son William McTeer of Allen Twp., yeoman, for "natural love and affection" and
"also for the better support, livelihood and preferment of the said William",
and for 6 pounds, a tract of land bounded by the lands of Antony McQue, John
McTeer and James McTeer, containing 100 acres, part of a larger tract patented
by James Mcteer on 11 Nov. 1760. Witnesses: Jonathan Hoge, Antony Macue, John
McTeer.

During the Revolutionary War William McTeer, like his brothers James, John, and
Samuel, served in the Third Battalion, Cumberland Co. Militia. In September
1777 he was listed as a private in 2nd Class in Capt. John Trindle's Co.; in
August 1780 he was a private in the 6th class in the 3rd Co., under Capt. John
McCormick; and in May 1782 in the 2nd Class in the 5th Co.

In addition a William Mateer, fifer, served under Capt. Thomas L. Moore in the
Third Pennsylvania Regiment; in a list dated 10 Aug. 1778 he was "in hospital".
This man, or another of the same name was a drummer in Capt. Josiah Harmer's
Co. But there is no clear evidence that this musician was, or was not, James'
son.

On 1 April 1779 William Byers (or Buyers) and wife Jean of Cumberland Co., for
334 pounds, conveyed to William McTeer 37 acres in Allen Twp. adjoining lands
of Anthony McQueen, William McTeer, Rowland Chambers, Frederick Swizer.
Witnesses: John McMen, Thomas Laird. On 25 April 1786 Rowland Chambers of
Allen Twp., for 182 pounds 12 shillings, deeded to William McTeer of Allen
Twp., 91 acres 48 perches in Allen Twp., bounded by William McTeer and James
McTeer's line near Lisburn Road (land patented to Chambers on 1 Feb. 1786).
Witnesses: Hugh Laird, Jas. Laird.

According to the records of the Pennsylvania Direct Tax of 1798 for Allen Twp.,
Cumberland Co., William McTeer then owned two one-story frame houses; he lived
in the larger, measuring 25 by 25 feet with four windows containing 14 lights,
with a separate one-story frame kitchen 18 by 16 feet; son Jas. McTeer, lived
in the second house which was 23 by 16 feet with two windows and 18 lights.
Each house with two acres of land adjoining was valued at $300.

William McTeer remained throughout his life a resident of Allen Twp., Cumberland
Co. In 1790 his household there had two males over sixteen years, two males
under sixteen and two females. In 1800 there was one male, one female over 45
years; one male, one female 16-26; and one male aged 10-16 years. In 1810
William Mateer Sr., one male, one female over 45 years, was living next to
William Mateer Jr. In 1820 Jane Mateer aged over 45 years was listed alone in
a separate household next after John Mateer and William Mateer.

On 2 June 1819 William Mateer Sr. and wife Jane (or Jean) of Allen Twp.,
conveyed to James Dunlap and Paul Gehr as Trustees, a lot "on the Great Road
from Lisburn to Silver Springs Meeting House" (part of the land conveyed by
Rowland Chambers on 25 April 1786), consideration $1.00 and "a benevolent wish
to do good, encourage learning and promote religion." Witnesses: John Snyder,
James Mateer. When this deed was filed on 19 April 1838, it was accompanied by
an assignation from the School Trustees to the Directors of Common Schools, and
the property was further described as a schoolhouse in Allen Twp., "known as
Mateer's schoolhouse."

The will of William McTeer of Allen Twp., "being reduced to a weak state of
body", written 23 July 1810, probated 13 Sept. 1819, directs son William to
"Fulfil the covenants and agreements made before my marriage with wife Jane"
out of her share and provide her maintenance; "she shall have full power to
dispose of her wearing apparel as she may think proper"; to son James, the land
he now lives on beginning at the great road from Lisburn village to Silver
Spring, at the east corner of Plumbtree meadow, also 18 acres of the old tract
"whereon I now live", and 234 acres in Harrison Co., Va.; to William, all
residue of the old tract "where I now live", except two fields as above, also
Plumbtree meadow; to son-in-law William Ross and wife Alice, notes worth $300
and 50 pounds; to daughter Jane, 250 pounds in case she marries and has lawful
issue, but only the interest on this sum if she remains single, James to provide
her a home, bed and bedding, case of drawers, dining table and cow. The
Testator left his cane to son James, his watch to son William. Witnesses:
Benjamin Anderson, Andrew Mateer (Major Andrew Mateer in the acknowledgment).
