| 1. | John Mateer was born Abt 1765, , Cumberland, Pennsylvania; died 1795/1808. 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. 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.
Died between 1 April 1795 and 11 Jan 1808.
