    John Butler was born outside London. He came to the United States when he was a child of two years . . . he lived in New York, for a time, but came to Joliet in 1864, where he had resided ever since. John was a shoemaker by trade. He died in the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. A. Mateer, 609 Exchange Street.

    John Butler's Mason record lists him as being born in Brooklyn, New York. He became affiliated with Matteson Lodge in Joliet, Illinois on 3 December 1867 after taking his degrees in Niagara Lodge No. 375, Lockport, New York.

    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.

  1. 80.  Samuel Huston Mateer was born Abt 1760, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania (son of John McTeer and Mary Huston); died 1803, York County, Pennsylvania.

    Notes:

    Within six weeks of the date of Samuel's wife's will (Jean Ewing) Samuel sold off his land and farming equipment and six weeks after that he was dead. Rather obviously Samuel Mateer was sick unto death for some time before his demise, and it was appropriate that his wife's family should be distressed to contemplate the future for his widow and young children.

    In a militia list of 4 February, 1793, Samuel H. McTeer was shown as a resident of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, aged between 18 and 45 years.

    On 5 November 1796 Samuel McTeer of Newton Township, Cumberland County, bid in at public vendue for 153 pounds, a 71 acre tract with improvements in Newton Township, which had been seized in August 1792 by the County Collector of Revenue on a judgment against Joseph Wilson late of Cumberland County for 150.78.6 pounds. Sheriff's deed dated 7 April 1797, filed 11 October 1797.

    On 30 April 1798 Paul Thompson and wife Agnes of Monaghan Township, York County, conveyed to Samuel Huston McTeer of Newton Township, Franklin County, PN, for 550 pounds, 90 acres 19 perches in Monaghan Township with the usual allowance of 8 acres 113 perches. Witnesses: Edward O'Hal, John Nesbit, Hugh Thompson.

    In the spring of 1803 Samuel H. Mateer announced a public vendue for Friday, 13 March 1803, to sell his land in Monaghan Township, 100 acres with improvements, grain in the ground, mare, cows, hogs, a case of drawers and a dresser. The terms of the sale were for the plantation 150 pounds down and the remainder at the rate of 30 pounds yearly; for bids under 10 shillings, cash, for bids
    exceeding 10 shillings, nine months credit; and the "owner reserves one bid on each article if he sees cause." -- At the sale Major Thomas McCreary bought the plantation for 460 pounds, but before the transaction was legally completed Samuel H. Mateer was dead. In lieu of a deed the following papers were filed in York County on 16 May 1803: notice of the sale (as above) with a list of buyers; a deposition of John May that the sales notice as exhibited was in the handwriting of Samuel H. Mateer, "late of Monaghan Township, York County, who was present at the sale"; and the Prothonotary's certification that there was a valid contract between Mateer and Thomas McCreary.

    On 1 March 1766 John McTeer took out a warrant for land in Allen Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, adjoining his father's property on the northwest; when the new tract was surveyed on 9 March 1768 there were 37 acres 130 perches, and abutting property owners were Anthony McCue, Alexander Armstrong, Joshia McMeen and James Mcteer; a patent was issued on 12 December 1770.

    On 8 December 1770 James McTeer of Allen Township, yeoman, "for love and affection and five shillings" deeded to John McTeer of Allen Township, "son of the said James McTeer", 100 acres in Allen Township, including messuage and tenement, buildings, rents, issues and profits, bounded by land of the said James McTeer but now of William McTeer, being part of a tract patented to James

Generation: 9

  1. 320.  James McTeer was born Abt 1697, County Down, Northern Ireland; died 16 Feb 1785, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.

    Notes:

    "James McTeer came from County Down Ireland with a wife and a number of
    children, the voyage was made in the old sailing vessel, requiring a great
    length of time. An epidemic broke out on board the ship. He saw one child,
    then another, and at last his wife's body lowered into the watery grave. His
    grief was such that the convulsions caused such upheavals of the breast, that
    the buttons were torn from his silk satin vest."

    Sometime about 1730 James McTeer left Northern Ireland with a wife and family.
    On shipboard his children fell ill and died one by one, then his wife succumbed
    also; so the grief-stricken young man arrived alone in Pennsylvania. This same
    traditional has been handed down from generation to generation in both
    Tennessee and Ohio. Though the story is essentially the same in both branches,
    the number, sex, and names of the children vary, and no one has presumed to
    suggest a name or identity for this first wife.

    On 16 Jan. 1746/1747 James McTeer took out a tract of land in East Pennsboro
    Twp., Lancaster Co., 304 acres 120 perches on Warrant #117; on 8 Nov. 1760 he
    took out two additional adjoining tracts containing 72.5 and 37.5 acres, which
    additions were described in the survey as "but thin and ordinary land." At the
    time of the first survey on 10 Nov 1760, the land was in East Pennsboro Twp.,
    Cumberland Co. and the abutting property owners were Anthony McCue, James
    McMeen, Peter Leester and Rowlan Chambers. On 13 May 1767 James took out still
    another 70 acres southeast of the preceding tract and abutting on Yellow
    Breaches Creek; this land was not surveyed until much later, but is mentioned
    in James' will as "warrant land."

    This homestead was successively in East Pennsboro Twp., Lancaster Co., until
    the formation of Cumberland County in 1750; then in East Pennsboro Twp.,
    Cumberland Co., until 1766, when Allen Township was formed. When Allen
    Township was divided in 1850 the McTeer land fell in Lower Allen, "on the road
    from Lisburn to Silver Spring Meeting House."

    In relatively modern terms the location is between St. Johns Road on the east,
    Slate Hill on the south, the Upper-Lower Allen Township line on the west, and
    another range of hills on the north. Identification of exact landmarks within
    the area has been singularly complicated because the property is now traversed
    by the Lisburn Road, the Reading Railroad, The Pennsylvania Turnpike, as well
    as by other local roads coming from New Cumberland on the east and proceeding
    southward to Fairview Twp., York Co. across Yellow Breaches Creek.

    Soon after completing his title to the property with a patent dated 11 Nov.
    1760, James McTeer built a store house near a large flowing spring, probably at
    about the point where Lisburn Road crosses Cedar Run. A Cumberland Co. map of
    the 1860s shows at that time seven houses on what had been the original McTeer
    grant; owners along the southern border were C. Musselman and John Strong, who
    had two Dwellings, one at the junction where Lisburn Road came in from the
    south; then on Lisburn Road going north again after the jog, James Dunlap had
    two houses; David Hurst was still further north but somewhat west of the
    roadway; at last an unidentified building was located east against the hill.

    Records of the Pennsylvania Direct Tax of 1798 for Allen Twp., Cumberland Co.,
    list James McTeer's original house then owned and occupied by his son
    Samuel McTeer, as a stone dwelling, 16 by 22 feet, one story with four windows
    containing 48 lights (panes of glass); the accompanying kitchen was shown as
    an outbuilding 16 by 12 feet with two windows containing 12 lights; and the
    whole property including two acres of land was valued at $600.

    When Major Will A. McTeer of Maryville, Tenn., visited the locality a century
    later this house was still standing and still owned by a McTeer descendant,
    Mrs. Ellen Saxton. The Major wrote his impressions in a letter from
    Mechanicsburg, dated 30 July 1898; "We got here last night. A beautiful town of
    five thousand inhabitants, nestled down in the richest and loveliest little
    valley I have ever seen. I am just now back from a visit to the old homestead
    of my great, great grandfather, four miles out. The main part of the old stone
    house is still standing but very old and dilapidated. The old farm is of the
    very best. A barn as big as Texas ... filled ... with oats by the six horse
    load. I drank from the old spring that slaked the thirst of my ancestors."

    But only a few weeks after this encounter the old place was torn down; so a
    neighboring farmer could use the stones for the foundation of a milk station.
    In Mrs. Saxton's words, "It was hard for me to make up my mind to it but
    thought it best to lay sentiment aside as it was getting unsightly and useless
    and possibly dangerous."

    During the French and Indian War James McTeer was a captain in the local
    militia. He and his lieutenant John Anderson, both of East Pennsboro Twp. were
    commissioned in 1747-1748 in the Associated Regiment of Lancaster Co. Over the
    River Susquehanna. By the time of the American Revolution he was well past 70
    years and so was not included in any of the militia lists of that time; nor is
    there any evidence of his providing other specific assistance to the cause of
    Independance. Yet, since his five sons and three sons-in-law all served with
    the Pennsylvania troops at various times during the war there can be no doubt
    where his sympathies were in that conflict.

    Out of his 400 acres James McTeer provided a farm for each of his four sons who
    remained in Allen Township. On 8 Dec 1770 "for love and affection" he deeded
    100 acres to his son John; on 21 Dec. 1770 he made a similar conveyance to his
    son William; and by his will he also gave land to sons James and Samuel. Son
    Robert moved to Fermanaugh Twp., Cumberland Co., soon after his marriage and
    had already gone on to Tennessee before his father's death. Since he received
    in the will only a token legacy, it is clear that Robert had in some way
    received his share at an earlier date, but the nature of that inheritance is
    now past recovery.

    The will of James McTeer Sr. of Allen Twp., Cumberland Co., written 2 Aug.
    1764, probated 16 March 1785, bequeathed to son James. "the land he now liveth
    on as it is divided by John Creigh", one half "the warranted land adjoining to
    be divided according to quantity and quality", also "the meadow that is fenced
    off for his use"; to daughter Elizabeth Boyd, five shillings; to son Robert
    McTeer, five shillings; to daughter Alce Caruthers, five shillings; to sons
    William and John, five shillings each; to daughter Sarah Pauly, five shillings;
    to granddaughter Elizabeth, daughter of son James, "my chest of drawers"; to
    son James, "my table". Any remainder after payment of the legacies and
    expenses from the sale of personal property to be divided between sons James
    and Samuel McTeer. They to be Executors. Witnesses: Hugh Laird, John Worden.

    An untotalled inventory of the "Goods and Cattels of James McTeer Sen
    deceased", made on 26 Feb. 1785 by Hugh Laird and William McMEan, includes only
    personal property; one horse at 17 pounds; a red cow with a white face at 4
    pounds; seven pewter plates at 14 shillings; a case of drawers willed to
    granddaughter Elizabeth 3 pounds 15 shillings; a table willed to son James, 15
    shillings; other furniture, table, chair, dough chest, walnut chest
    and bedstead totaling 1 pound 2 shillings 6 pennies; two featherbeds, pillows,
    coverlets and blankets, 15 pounds 5 shillings and 2 pennies total; wearing
    apparel, 2 pounds 10 shillings; old books, 1 pound 1 shilling 6 pennies; a few
    tools, flax hackle, pruning chisel and draw knife, 7 shillings 6 pennies; pot
    rack, tongs, fire shovel, two basins, spice box and frying pan, 16 shillings; a
    buckskin, 10 shillings; "a pair of specks and tobacco box", 2 shillings 6
    pennies.

    When Cumberland County, Pennsylvania was formed in 1750 there was among the
    taxables within its territory a Samuel Huston, as appears by the records in the
    Commissioner's Office at Carlisle. He was located in the part of East Pensboro
    township that is now Silver Spring.

    The records of the Internal Affairs Office show that on 9 November 1752 Samuel
    Huston obtained a warrant for a tract of land in East Pennsboro township,
    Cumberland County, the survey for which was returned on 7 March 1753. The
    warrant for Samuel Huston's tract called for 200 acres but the survey made it
    240 acres. The draft on record shows that it was bounded on the south by lands
    of John Sample; on the east by John Carson and Richard Peters; on the north by
    Robert Carothers, and on the west by John McClellan.

    Samuel Huston was a member of the Silver Spring Presbyterian Church, now made
    famous in history as the first church west of the Susquehanna river. His name
    appears upon the church records in 1764 along with that of 42 other members of
    this church and Carlisle who signed a call for the Rev. John Steel to become
    pastor of this church.

    Samuel Huston was "a private in Captain Henry McKinley's company, 12th
    Pennsylvania regiment, commanded by Colonel William Cook, Revolutionary War."
    He appears on a receipt roll which shows that he entered the service 11
    November 1776, that he was in the service one month and four days and received
    2 pounds 16 shillings and 8 pence as the full amount of his pay and 2 pounds
    and 8 shillings as subsistence.

    On 16 September 1784 Samuel Huston of East Pennsboro Township, Cumberland
    County, Pennsylvania, made his will, which was probated on 12 October 1784.
    Samuel Huston gave all his lands or real estate to his two younger sons, John
    and Jonathan, to be held by them and their heirs in common, with the proviso
    that they pay to his son William the sum of twenty-eight pounds, and to his son
    Samuel fifty pounds in certain stipulated payments. To his wife he gave
    one-third of his personal property, together with a reasonable maintenance out
    of his real estate, and named his sons John and Jonathan as the executors of
    his will.

    The witnesses to the will were Jonathan Hoge, Walter and John Buchanan.
    Jonathan Hoge being a Justice of Peace at the time, it is probable that he
    wrote the will.

    Samuel Houston was buried in Pine Hill Graveyard located in the northwestern
    corner of the old Samuel Huston farm, near the edge of a precipitous hill.
