On 1 March 1766 John McTeer took out a warrant for land in Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, adjoining his father's property on the northwest; when the new tract was surveyed on 9 March 1768 there were 37 acres 130 perches, and abutting property owners were Anthony McCue, Alexander Armstrong, Joshia McMeen and James Mcteer; a patent was issued on 12 December 1770.

On 8 December 1770 James McTeer of Allen Township, yeoman, "for love and affection and five shillings" deeded to John McTeer of Allen Township, "son of the said James McTeer", 100 acres in Allen Township, including messuage and tenement, buildings, rents, issues and profits, bounded by land of the said James McTeer but now of William McTeer, being part of a tract patented to James
McTeer on 11 November 1760. Witnesses: Jonathan Hoge, Anthony McCue, William McTeer. Acknowledged 1 December 1770. Recorded 22 December 1775.

During the Revolution in 1777 and again in 1778 John McTeer was chosen captain of the First Company in the Third Battalion of the Cumberland County Militia; in 1781 he was listed as a member of Capt. Thomas Laird's Company.

The will of John McTeer, dated 10 September 1789, probated 9 June 1790, bequeathed to his wife Mary, one-third of the personal estate; to son James, the bed "he now has in Carlisle", bedding and 10 pounds; the remaining two-thirds of the personal estate to be divided equally between the seven youngest children: Samuel Huston, John, Andrew, Alice, Isabel, Mary and Ann. Executors: wife Mary McTeer, Samuel Huston McTeer and John McTeer. Witnesses: William McMeen, Robert McMeen, John Creigh.

The 1790 census of Allen Twp., Cumberland County, lists Mary McTeer as head of a household with four males over sixteen years and four females. On 4 February 1793 when a militia list was made for all male residents of Cumberland County between 18 and 45 years, three from this family were included, James, Samuel H. and John; Andrew was not quite old enough to be listed.

On 1 April 1795 Mary McTeer, Samuel Huston McTeer and John McTeer of Allen Township, "Gentlewoman and yeomen" conveyed to Michael Hurst of Refoo (Rapho) Township Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for 1700 pounds "in gold or silver coin", two "contiguous" tracts totaling 137 acres 130 perches in Allen Township: one piece of 100 acres granted by "patent" to James McTeer on 11 November 1760 and conveyed by Deed Pool of 8 December 1770 from James to his son John, bounded by lands of the late said James now of William McTeer and by land of Anthony McCue; the second piece of 37 acres 130 perches granted "patent" to John McTeer on 12 December 1770, bounded by James McTeer, Alexander Armstrong. is now dead and by his will has empowered the present grantors, his Executors, to sell the property. Witnesses Henry Quigley, William Bryson, John Thompson. Acknowledged same date. Recorded 5 August 1795.

Notes:

James "of Lisburn" died suddenly.

According to the records of the Pennsylvania Direct Tax of 1798 for Allen Twp.,
Cumberland Co., James McTeer Jr. was then owner and occupant of a two-story
frame house in Lisburn. That dwelling was 24 by 18 feet with five windows
containing 56 lights; there was also a frame kitchen 18 by 8 feet, and both
structures were located on a lot containing 108 perches. The whole property
was valued at $300.

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.

Notes:

Within six weeks of the date of Samuel's wife's will (Jean Ewing) Samuel sold off his land and farming equipment and six weeks after that he was dead. Rather obviously Samuel Mateer was sick unto death for some time before his demise, and it was appropriate that his wife's family should be distressed to contemplate the future for his widow and young children.

In a militia list of 4 February, 1793, Samuel H. McTeer was shown as a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, aged between 18 and 45 years.

On 5 November 1796 Samuel McTeer of Newton Township, Cumberland County, bid in at public vendue for 153 pounds, a 71 acre tract with improvements in Newton Township, which had been seized in August 1792 by the County Collector of Revenue on a judgment against Joseph Wilson late of Cumberland County for 150.78.6 pounds. Sheriff's deed dated 7 April 1797, filed 11 October 1797.

On 30 April 1798 Paul Thompson and wife Agnes of Monaghan Township, York County, conveyed to Samuel Huston McTeer of Newton Township, Franklin County, PN, for 550 pounds, 90 acres 19 perches in Monaghan Township with the usual allowance of 8 acres 113 perches. Witnesses: Edward O'Hal, John Nesbit, Hugh Thompson.

In the spring of 1803 Samuel H. Mateer announced a public vendue for Friday, 13 March 1803, to sell his land in Monaghan Township, 100 acres with improvements, grain in the ground, mare, cows, hogs, a case of drawers and a dresser. The terms of the sale were for the plantation 150 pounds down and the remainder at the rate of 30 pounds yearly; for bids under 10 shillings, cash, for bids
exceeding 10 shillings, nine months credit; and the "owner reserves one bid on each article if he sees cause." -- At the sale Major Thomas McCreary bought the plantation for 460 pounds, but before the transaction was legally completed Samuel H. Mateer was dead. In lieu of a deed the following papers were filed in York County on 16 May 1803: notice of the sale (as above) with a list of buyers; a deposition of John May that the sales notice as exhibited was in the handwriting of Samuel H. Mateer, "late of Monaghan Township, York County, who was present at the sale"; and the Prothonotary's certification that there was a valid contract between Mateer and Thomas McCreary.

Notes:

Information on this family is based entirely on statements in connection with the 1818 estate settlement of the children's uncle, James Mateer of Lisburn:

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.

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

of this estate were a two story brick house on the south side of Pomfret St. in

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:

In 1829 Mary Pattison was assessed for taxes on a lot on High Street in
Carlisle, a log house and a cow.

Some of their family are said to have moved to the vicinity of Bucyrus, Ohio.
This statement appears to be substantiated by the discovery in 1828 of Mary
(Mateer) Pattison's Bible in Dayton, Ohio. In addition to the birth, death and
marriage dates for Mary and Charles, their children are listed with death dates
for Elizabeth and both Johns, as given hereafter; deaths and ages are entered

Creigh), for John and Isabella (Mateer) Creigh, for George Pattison Sr.,

Buried in River Cliff Cemetery.

This family lived in York County Pennsylvania for a time before coming to Ohio.
In 1830 John Mateer and his brother William were in Mansfield, Richland County,
Ohio; John and his wife were both aged 30-40 years with four children, a boy
and girl aged 5-10 and another boy and girl under five years. The female aged
60-70 years living in their household was probably John's mother Hannah
(Nesbit) (Mateer) Sofley.

Soon after this census John Mateer moved on to Mt. Gilead, Ohio, where he
engaged as a millwright; he was prominent in the organization of the
Presbyterian Church there. In 1832 he was superintendent of its Sunday School,
and in 1834 its Ruling Elder.

In the 1840 census of Washington Township, Marion County, Ohio, John Mateer was
listed as engaged in manufacturing; he and his wife were aged 40-50 years and
their household included boys aged 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20; as well as girls
aged 5-10, 10-15, 15-20. Morrow County was organized in 1848 from parts of
Marion, Knox, Delaware and Richland Counties.

In the 1850 census of Gilead Township, Morrow County, John Mateer aged 56 was
head of a household which included Jane Mateer aged 58, Mary Mateer aged 21,
Elizabeth Mateer aged 17 and James M. Mateer aged 16. Elizabeth and James were
born in Ohio, the others in Pennsylvania.

On 23 April 1853 John Mateer was appointed guardian of Jane Ivey and Benjamin
Pinyard; bond for Jane's estate was $200 and her final account was filed 18
April 1855; Benjamin's estate was bonded for $300, and his final account was
filed 6 March 1860. In 1852 Jane Pinyard married Mahlon Ivey (or Irey); she is
presumed to have been Benjamin's sister; before this time John Mateer's oldest
daughter had married a William Pinyard, but the relationship of Jane and
Benjamin to either the Pinyards or the Mateers is nowhere indicated in the
guardianship proceedings.

In 1860 John Mateer, farmer aged 65, was living in the town of Mt. Gilead with
wife Jane aged 67 and daughter Mary J. Mateer aged 31.

The will of John Mateer of Morrow County, written 12 April 1863, probated 11
September 1863, bequeathed to his wife Jane all property for her lifetime with
rights of disposal at her discretion; at her death daughter Mary Jane Latham to
have $100, and the balance of the estate to be divided equally between the
testator's five children; sons Samuel Huston and John Creigh; daughters Hannah
Pinyard, Mary Jane Latham and Elizabeth Caroline Shedd. Executors: sons
Samuel H. and John C. Mateer, but if it should be inconvenient for them to
serve, then the sons-in-law Charles Shedd and William Pinyard to be Executors.
Witnesses: John R. Snyder, Joseph B. Lyon.

Married at Silver Spring Church.

Notes:

1820 Perry County, Tyrone Township, Pennsylvania, page 317, ID PAS2a807165 lists Andrew Mateer. There is also an Andrew Mateer in Cumberland County, Allen Township, Pennsylvania page 4, ID PAS2a807164.

Perry County Forester, Landisburg, Perry County, Pennsylvania states "Mateer, Andrew. Andrew, age 25, died July 7, 1821 leaving a widow and small children."

Administration on the Estate of Andrew Mateer, late of Landisburg, Tyrone Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania was granted 18 August 1821 to Jacob Stroop Esquire; bond for $1200 with John Shuman and Henry Lightner as sureties. Assets of the estate included a messuage and three lots in Landisburg; these were to be sold because the personal property was insufficient to pay debts. There are no Perry County deeds indexed for this Andrew Mateer, and his estate lists no distribution to heirs.

Andrew — Elizabeth S.. Elizabeth was born 5 Oct 1794; died 25 Feb 1846; was buried Centre Presbyterian Churchyard, Madison Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The biography of William N. Mateer's son in the "History of Morrow County,
Ohio", 1911, by A. J. Baughman and Robert F. Bartlett says that Ross's mother
was Elizabeth Porter and that he had a half brother Joseph McMullin. This
reasonable interpretation from this statement is that Elizabeth was married
first to a McMullin and that William Mateer was therefore her second husband.

William N. Mateer was a schoolteacher in Adams County, Pennsylvania, before
moving west in 1830; in that year William and his brother John were listed in
the census of Mansfield, Ohio; William was aged 20-30 years, his wife was
30-40; there were two boys in the household, one 10-15 (probably William's
step-son) and another under five years.

Shortly after this census the Mateers moved on to Morrow County. William first
settled in the new town of Whetstone (also called Youngstown) which had been
laid out in 1824 in the NE 1/2 of Sec. 2 (in the south part of the present town
of Mt. Gilead). He was the first chairmaker in the new community and also its
schoolmaster.

On 2 March 1831 William N. and Elizabeth Mateer along with John and Jane Mateer
were listed as members of the "Presbyterian Church of Morrow" (now the
Presbyterian Church of Mt. Gilead). William N.'s son Ross N. Mateer was
baptized at the first such sacrament held in this church; his father was Sunday
School Superintendent there at the time.

After a few years William N. and family left the town proper and moved to a
farm some 2 1/2 miles east of Mt. Gilead, possibly on the land described in the
following conveyance: On 3 April 1837 William N. Mateer of Marion County,
Ohio, bought for $650 from Benjamin Hart and wife Mary of Knox County, Ohio, 80
acres previously patented to Hart in the W 1/2 SE 1/4 Sec. 7, T 17, R 20 of
lands sold at Wooster, Ohio. Morrow County was formed in 1848 from parts of
Marion, Knox, Delaware and Richland Counties, and the modern location of this
section would be in eastern Gilead Township or on the west edge of Franklin
Township in Morrow County near the present Mateer Road.

In the 1850 census of Franklin Township, Morrow County, Elizabeth Mateer aged
55 years was head of a household including John Mateer aged 20, farmer, Ross
Mateer aged 18, carpenter, and Matilda J. Mateer aged 16. Each of the three
children was credited with real property worth $400; so the inference is that
William had died intestate leaving his children as joint owners of the farm.
