  1. 12.  John Mateer Descendancy chart to this point (5.Hannah3, 2.Hannah2, 1.John1) was born 15 Oct 1794, , Cumberland, Pennsylvania; died 21 Aug 1863, , Morrow, Ohio; was buried Mt. Gilead, Ohio.

    Notes:

    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.

    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.
