  1. 1.  John Mateer was born 24 Aug 1801, , Cumberland, Pennsylvania; died 30 Dec 1867; was buried , Cumberland, Pennsylvania.

    Notes:

    On 2 April 1835 John Mateer of James and John Mateer of William, Executors
    of the will of James Mateer late of Allen Township, Cumberland County,
    deceased, conveyed to Robert Bryson of Allen Township, a tract of land in
    Monaghan Township, York County, Pennsylvania, containing 111 acres 12 perches
    and abutting on lands of John Wilson, James Torbet, and William Ross. this
    property had been warranted to Mary Torbet, relict of Alin Torbet, and sold by
    her to James Mateer on 8 April 1829. Witnesses: Jacob Gehr, Andrew Mateer.

    The paternity of John Mateer's first wife and the identity of her children is
    indicated in the following records: On 21 February 1855 John Armstrong was
    appointed Administrator of the intestate estate of Samuel Martin of Monroe
    Township; Bond was for $300 with John Mateer and H. W. Mateer as sureties. On
    9 April 1855 Robert Mateer was appointed guardian for Mary. E. Mateer and Jane
    E. Mateer, minor children of John Mateer of Franklin county, since by
    inheritance from their grandfather Samuel Martin of Cumberland County they hold
    an interest in a tract of land. On 14 August 1855 William R. Mateer of full
    age and Robert Mateer as guardian for Mary E. Mateer and Jane E. Mateer, all
    three "children of Mary Ann Mateer", petition for a division of their mother's
    interest, an undivided one-half of 58 acres 33 perches located in Monroe
    Township with a log house and a frame barn. This petition for division was
    rejected, a sale was held, and on 6 November 1855 the land was confirmed to
    Jacob Newcomber for $71 per acre.

    On 23 September 1842 John Mateer was appointed Administrator of the Estate of
    Mary Mateer of Silver Spring Township; bond was for $2000 with John J. Myers
    and M. Holcomb as sureties. This Decendent was probably John's second wife
    Mary Irvine Mateer; the record of their marriage in 1841 gives the groom's
    residence as Hogestown and the bride's as Silver Spring Township; moreover,
    family tradition says that this second wife "lived but a short time and had no
    children."

    On 2 January 1868 Robert Mateer was appointed Administrator of the Estate of
    John Mateer; bond was for $40,000 with J. C. Dunlap and N. J. Lusk sureties.

    On 31 March 1871 Robert B. Mateer of Mechanicsburg, for $622.22, conveyed to
    William R. Mateer of St. Louis, Mo., and Mary Ellen Mateer of Mechanicsburg,
    an undivided one-third interest in a brick house and three lots in
    Mechanicsburg New Addition on Silver Spring Road; this property was conveyed on
    20 March 1866 to John Mateer who has since died intestate leaving three
    children, viz., William R., Robert B. and Mary Ellen Mateer; the transfer was
    subject to a dower of $933.33 one-third for the widow. Signed R. B. Mateer,
    Kate H. Mateer. Witness: Josepth Lens.
