A legal release on 28 October 1828 stated that William Mateer is an 'habitual drunkard.'
On 3 September 1829 John Mateer Jr. was appointed Administrator of the Estate of William Mateer of Allen Township; bond was set for $400 with Robert Mateer and John Mateer as sureties.
On 12 August 1834 John Mateer, eldest son of William Mateer, late of Allen Township, deceased, stated in court that his father had died intestate leaving a widow Rebecca and six children, namely, the petitioner, William, Henry Wilson, Margaret Jane who married William Wise, Mary and Elizabeth. Three of these children were minors: Daniel Mohler was guardian for Henry and Andrew Chapman for Mary and Elizabeth. William Mateer died seized of 120 acres in Allen Township, bounded by lands of John Mateer the Elder, David Hurst, Henry Longnecker, Henry Myers and John Mateer of James; and now John Mateer the petitioner requests an Inquest of Partition. On 2 September 1834 the Inquest reported that this property, which was appraised at $25 per acre, could not be conveniently divided; and on 10 December 1834 John Mateer, the eldest son, elected to accept the real estate at valuation. Then on 2 April 1836 William Mateer, Andrew Chapman as Guardian for Mary and Elizabeth Mateer, Daniel Mohler as Guardian for Henry Wilson Mateer, and William Wise in the right of his wife Margaret Jane acknowledged receipt of $344.05.5 for each share, with interest on one-third to the widow for her lifetime.
