Notes

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.
