    Notes:

    The identity of William Mateer's first wife is established by the records of
    her father's estate. On 7 May 1793 Moses Wallace of Allen Township was
    appointed guardian of Isabella and Jane Wilson, minor orphans over 14 years,
    daughters of Alexander Wilson deceased; on 5 August 1793 Robert Whitehill of
    East Pennsboro Township was appointed guardian of Hugh and Richard Wilson,

    Wilson aged about seven years; on 8 May 1793 Grizzle Wilson, William Wilson and
    Richard Fulton, Administrators of the Estate of Alexander Wilson, reported a
    balance of 59.01.01 pounds, including 16 pounds owed to Hugh Wilson.

    On 28 May 1822 William Mateer of Allen Township and wife Jane for $10 deeded
    Robert Mateer of Cumberland County, 107 acres 10 perches in Allen Township,
    "the plantation on which William and Jane now live", bounded by lands of Felty
    Fayman, John Black, Layman and Alexander Wills (late of Moses Wallace
    deceased), being half a tract belonging to Alexander Wilson, late of Allen
    Township, deceased, which was amicably divided (as per agreement of 30 Jaunary
    1819) between his heirs, viz., his daughter said Jane Mateer and Isabella wife
    of David Sterritt of Mifflin Township. On the same date Robert Mateer of
    Cumberland County, for $10, reconveyed to William and Jane Mateer of Cumberland
    County, a life interest in this same tract of 107 acres 10 perches, Jane's
    inheritance from her father Alexander Wilson, with the proviso that after the
    death of both William and Jane the property should go to "the right heirs of
    the said William Mateer." Witnesses to both instruments: George W. Harris, A.
    Wills. Both deeds acknowledged 28 May 1822, recorded 4 April 1823.

    The land referred to in these deeds was a part of Lot 5 of the Manor of
    Louthar, taken up by John wilson in 1770; it was near New Cumberland in Lower
    Allen Township, and at least a part of the tract was laid out in village lots
    after it was sold by William Mateer's heirs.

    On 4 July 1834 James Dunlap was appointed Administrator of the Estate of
    William Mateer of Allen Township; bond was set at $6000 with Martin Dunlap as
    surety.

    On 13 August 1834 Mary Ann Mateer, widow, mother and next friend, petitioned
    for a guardian for Eliza, Margaret Caroline and Mary Jane, minors under 14
    years, children of William Mateer, late of Allen Township deceased. Francis
    Porter and William Harkness were so appointed. On 8 August 1842 Ann Eliza
    Mateer, minor daughter of William Mateer of Allen Township, who died intestate
    in August 1834, petitioned for a new guardian for herself and sisters because
    she is now foruteen years old and also because her former guardian Francis
    Porter is now deceased. On this petition George H. Bucher was appointed
    guardian.

    In the 1840 census of Dillsburg, Carrol Township, York County, Pennsylvania,
    the household of Daniel Bailey farmer aged 59 years included his wife Mary A.
    Bailey aged 56, Ann E. Mateer aged 22, Caroline Mateer aged 20, Mary J. Mateer
    aged 14, Sarah Porter aged 40 and Barney Connor aged 14; all were born in
    Pennsylvania.

    Administration on the Estate of Daniel Bailey of Dillsburg was granted on 9
    October 1868 to Samuel A. Bailey and J. Bailey Mumper.

    Ohio, Death Records lists Sarah Mateer, who died 12 March 1882 aged 65 years
    one month 7 days, born in Pennsylvania; this woman born about 1817, could
    possibly have been another Spangler daughter who went by the name Mateer after
    her mother's remarriage and removal to Ohio.

    In 1850 James Mateer aged 56 was a "farmer" living in Carlisle, Pennsylvania;
    his houshold included Elizabeth aged 56, Nancy aged 22, Margaret aged 18, Mary
    aged 17, Robert aged 16, Daniel aged 14 and Sarah aged 11. The eldest son
    William Matteer aged 26 was living nearby with wife Catherine aged 25 and
    daughter Mary E. aged 3 years.

    On 2 February 1856 John Johnson and wife Susanna of Crawford County, Ohio,
    conveyed to James, Robert and Samuel Mateer of Crawford County, for $1000 paid
    one-half by James Mateer and the other half by Robert and Samuel, 70 acres in
    the E 1/2 NW1/4 Sec. 28 T 2 R 16 (in Holmes Township one mile south of Spore).
    On 27 February 1858 these three, James MAteer, Robert Mateer and Samuel Mateer,
    along with Elizabeth Mateer wife of James, all of Crawford County, deeded this
    same land back to John Johnson. On 1 April 1858 Ashley Momsser and wife Julia
    A. of Crawford County, conveyed to James Mateer, 80 acres in the NE part of
    Sec. 16 T 3 R 16 (in Bucyrus Township about three miles southwest of the town
    of Bucyrus).

    While these deeds make it reasonably ceartain that James and Elizabeth Mateer
    went to Ohio in 1854 with their son William, and that James died there in 1864,
    no estate settlement for James Sr. is indexed in the Crawford County Probate
    Records, nor does he appear in the 1860 census there.

    On 31 December 1864 William Mateer was appointed Administrator of the Estate of
    John S. Mateer deceased (third son of James); James Moore and Samuel Peterman
    signed the administrator's bond (no amount stated). Inventory filed 27 January
    1865 listed in 42 acres at $38 per acre, total value $1596 plus $275 in cash.
    Since debts totaled some $1300, the Administrator petitioned the Court on 22
    February 1865 for authority to sell the real estate located in the southeast
    part of the southwest quarter of Sec. 9 T 3 R 18 on the Sandusky River in
    Crawford County, Ohio, (about three miesl southwest of Bucyrus). This petition
    listed the heirs-at-law of John S. Mateer as James R. Mateer of Tennessee,
    Samuel Mateer, Sarah Mateer, Mary Mateer and William Mateer the petitioner.
    These heirs were the decendent's brothers and sisters; so it is presumed that
    his parents had already died.

    This petition stated that Samuel, Mary, Sarah M. and William Mateer had
    consented to the sale. Public notice was then directed toward James R. Mateer,
    the absent heir whose consent was missing, and toward John Mateer and Margaret
    Dunlap, who appear to have held notes secured by a lien against John S.
    Mateer's land. On 2 March 1867 John Mateer and Jno. L. Dunlap "for Margaret
    Dunlap" receipted for $112.50 each against notes for $200. These creditors,
    John Mateer and Margaret (Mateer) Dunlap of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
    were respectively uncle and aunt to John S. Mateer of Crawford Count, Ohio, and
    both were well-off, amply able to lend a few hundred dollars to an aspiring (or
    needy) young nephew.

    The real estate was sold for much less than its inventory value, and on 1 May
    1869 the Administrator reported a final balance for distribution of just 29.90.

    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.

    A. and three children: Sarah J. aged 10, Albert aged 7, and James A. aged two

    Notes:

    At the time of his father's death John Mateer, the eldist son aged 22 years,
    "bought the home farm at the appraisement and kept the family together for
    about four years." In 1833 the widow Rebecca and her two younger daughters
    rented a house in Mechanicsburg; but after John sold the home place and moved
    to a farm near Shiremantown, his mother and sister Mary went there to keep
    house for him until his marriage in 1835, when they moved again to part of a
    house belonging to Uncle John Mateer.

    William Diven, John Mateer's father-in-law, "was born 3 November 1787 in a
    small stone house which is still standing (1893) on the west bank of the
    Susquehanna River, just south of the Cumberland Valley Railway bridge close to
    the river. His father had charge of the ferry, was a stone mason by trade, and
    is said to have built the second stone house in Harrisburg and the stone wall
    enclosing Silver Springs Graveyard." William Diven's wife Rebecca, daughter of
    Samuel and Mary (McMullen) Nelson, was born in Monaghan Township, York County,
    Pennsylvania, 31 August 1789.

    On 1 April 1835 John Mateer Jr. and wife Mary, for $4259.13, conveyed to
    Christian Musselman of Fairview Township, York County, Pennsylvania, a parcel
    of land in Allen Township, Cumberland County 125 acres 43 perches, "neat
    measure", bounded by property of John Mateer Sr., James Mateer, Henry Myers,
    Henry Lonecker, Nancy McCue and Abraham Hensh. This tract in his lifetime and
    at the time of his death property of William Mateer, grandfather of the present
    grantor, passed by his will dated 23 July 1810 to his son William, father of
    the present grantor; the second William died intestate and title to the land
    passed by Orphans Court decree dated 10 November 1834 to the aforesaid John
    Mateer, eldest son of the decedent. Musselman, the present grantee, agreed to
    pay $2882.91 1/2 in cash, also annual interest on $1032.16, "her thirds" to
    Rebecca Mateer widow her lifetime, and to post bond for the payment to William
    Wise and Margarete Jane his wife, for $344.05.5 "their distributory share of
    her father's estate." Witnesses: John Mateer, Andrew Mateer.

    John and Mary (Diven) Mateer first went to housekeeping on a farm described as
    the Clovermill property, located near Shiremanstown, Cumberland County,
    Pennsylvania. Their son, John Lowrie Mateer takes up the story there: "In the
    spring of 1840 they sold the Clovermill property for $3000.00. They rented a
    house in Dillsburg and lived there one year. During this year father bought a
    farm in Adams County, two miles from Petersburg towards Gettysburg. They moved
    onto this farm in the spring of 1841."

    In 1850 this family was listed as living in Huntington Township, Adams County,
    Pennsylvania.; John aged 42 was a farmer with real estate valued at $4500.
    Other members of the family were Mary aged 34, Calvin aged 14, Jane aged 12,
    William aged 7 and John aged two years.

    Continuing with John L. Mateer's account, this Adams County farm "contained 120
    acres with a good brick house and barn. Father paid $3000.00 for it. They
    lived there until 1857 when they sold the farm for $6000.00 cash. Father went
    at once to Mercer County Pennsylvania and bought from Samuel Park (mother's
    cousin) for $6000.00 cash. This farm contains 209 acres and is located one
    mile west of Pine Grove, now 'Grove City'. The family went out in the spring
    of 1857 on the Pennsylvania Railway to Pittsburg, thence by stage. Father and
    brother Will drove three hourses to a wagon loaded with household goods over
    the mountain. In spring 1865 they sold this farm for $15,000.00 and removed to
    Henry, Illinois.

    In the summer of 1872 John Mateer moved again to Monmouth, Warren County,
    Illinois; so that his younger children might have greater educational
    opportunities at the college there.

    Mr. Mateer was a devoted and upright Christian man, an Elder in the
    presbyterian Church at Monmouth. He took special interest in foreign missions,
    to which cause he gave two sons.

    The will of John Mateer of the Town of Henry and County of Marshall, Illinois,
    now the City of Monmouth, Illinois, "of the age of 65 years", written 13
    January 1874, bequeathed to wife Mary N. Mateer, "that part of my estate which
    the law provides"; to son Calvin W. Mateer and to Jennie Henderson, $500 each;
    to son John Lowrie Mateer, $1000; to son Horace N. Mateer, $625; to son Robert
    M. Mateer and to daughter Lillie E. Mateer, $500 each; also $150 to Nettie
    Henderson my granddaughter; all of the balance of the estate to be divided
    equally amongst seven children, namely, Calvin W., Jennie Henderson, William
    D., John L., Robert M. Horace N. and Lillie E. Mateer; their mother his wife
    Mary N. Mateer to be guardian for Horace N. and Lillie E. Mateer, minors.
    Witnesses; J. R. W...ter, William F. Smith.

    In the 1880 census of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, First Ward, Mary N. Mateer
    aged 62 years was head of a household which included three of her children:
    Robert M., minister aged 27, Horace N. aged 24 "at school", and Lillian E.,
    teacher aged 22 years.

    Notes:

    Information on this family is very sketchy -- a list of children, without
    dates, from John Lowrie Mateer's notes: William, Elizabeth, Ann Jane and
    Rebecca who married a Bock. Major McTeer's compilation adds a son John midway
    of the list and gives Rebecca's married name as Book.

    Census searching has provided a little possible Wise data in Cumberland County,
    but nothing hereafter can be asserted without equivocation.

    The 1860 census of Lower Allen Township, Cumberland County, lists W. Wise,
    shoemaker aged 51 years, living with M. Wise aged 49, William Wise aged 25 and
    R. Wise aged 14 years.

    Notes:

    On 3 October 1850 John D. Becker and Charles W. Becker were appointed
    Administrators of the Estate of Simon Becker. Settlement was continued until
    12 August 1857, but no listing of heirs is available in the microfilmed probate
    records of Adams County, Pennsylvania.

    In the record of his second marriage the groom was identified as Captain Henry
    W. Mateer, merchant of Hogestown; and the 1850 census of Silver Spring Township
    shows H. W. Mateer, merchant age 34 with real property worth $1200. His
    household included E. S. Mateer aged 27, Alfrete Mateer aged 9, Mary A. Mateer
    aged 22, Jane Salberto aged 42 and Mary A. Salberto aged 20 years.

    On 1 November 1850 Jacob Leiby and wife Sarah Ann of Carlisle, for $6526.53,
    deeded to Henry Wilson Mateer of the Village of Hogestown land in North
    Middleton Township, Cumberland County, 93 acres 69 perches on Conodoquinnett
    Creek along Waggoner's Gap Road, with dower payments to John Myers and his wife
    Catherine, formerly widow of Philip Baker deceased. On 1 April 1851 Henry
    Wilson Mateer of Hogestown and his wife Elizabeth S. Mateer, for $1000,
    conveyed to George Leiby of Hogestown, Lot No. 42 in Hogestown adjoining Poplar
    Alley, which lot had been deeded to Mateer on 1 September 1843 by A. WillsEsquire and John Coyle. Witnesses: F. A. Mateer, Edward Porter.

    Between 1856 and 1858 Henry W. Mateer moved to Marshall County, Illinois. In
    the 1860 census H. W. Mateer, merchant aged 44 was living in Henry Illinois;
    his household then included his wife Elizabeth aged 37, children Charles aged
    7, Mary aged 4 (these four born in Pennsylvania), Lucy aged two born in
    Illinois, along with two servants and a clerk. In 1870 still in Henry,
    Illinois, H. Wilson Mateer aged 53 had "no business"; his family was wife
    Elizabeth aged 48, daughters Mary aged 13, Lucy aged 11 and Hettie aged 9. In
    1880 Henry Matteer aged 64 was a grocer in Henry; his wife Elizabeth S. aged 57
    reported that both her parents were born in Germany; children at home were MAry
    G. aged 22, Lucy J. aged 20 and Hettie R. aged 18. One Ellen Sully, born in
    Pennsylvania about 1827, continued in this family as a domestic servant for
    over twenty years.

    On 6 February 1888 Louis M. Lincoln, a son-in-law, petitioned for
    Administration on the intestate estate of Henry W. Mateer who had died on 15
    Janurary 1888; property of the deceased included household goods, horse,
    harness, buggies, notes and accounts, as well as three lots, a house lot, a
    vacant lot and five acre lot; total value was estimated at $300; survivors were
    listed as Alfred Mateer, Mary Grace Lincoln, Lucy Jane Mateer and Henrietta R.
    Mateer.

    clear who married whom or when.
