  1. 2.  Alfred Mateer was born 29 Jul 1840, Carlisle, Pennsylvania (son of Henry Wilson Mateer and Mary Ann Davidson); died 5 Sep 1915.

    Notes:

    According to the 1860 census of Henry, Marshall County, Illinois, A. Mateer
    aged 17 years born in Pennsylvania, was then living in the household of G. B.
    Slack, where he was listed as a blacksmith's apprentice. Since Henry Wilson
    Mateer had moved from Pennsylvania to Henry about 1857, it seems probable that
    this unidentified apprentice was his son Alfred who came west with his father
    but at his age was not disposed to remain at home with an assortment of small
    step-sisters.

    During the Civil War Alfred Mateer was 1st Sergeant in Company A 47th Regiment
    Illinois Infantry Volunteers. He enlisted at Peoria, Illinois, on 16 August
    1861, when he was described as of Henry, Illinois, 5 feet 10 inches in height,
    of dark complexion with dark hair and gray eyes. He fought in Mississippi,
    Louisiana, was wounded in action at Lake Chicot, Arkansas, and was discharged
    at Selma, Alabama, on 13 November 1865.

    After the war he farmed for five years near Wenona, Illinois, then moved into
    the town of Rutland. According to the 1880 census he was then living in
    Groveland Township, Rutland, LaSalle County, Illinois.

    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.

    Notes:

    William Mateer lived and died on the farm in Allen Township which his father
    William had inherited from the original James McTeer. He was a faithful member
    of Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, where he was known as "Singing Billy"
    because he led the music with a "sonorous voice and a wonderful facility" for
    adapting words to familiar tunes.

    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 AndrewChapman 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.
