• Notes

  John Mateer came to Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, about 1806 "with his mother, two brothers and three sisters." He settled in Franklin Township (now East Franklin) near Montgomeryville, where he took up 250 acres of undeveloped land. In 1855 he moved to Illinois. On 12 December 1822 John Mateer bought from Montgomery for $900 the latter's interest in a large tract in Franklin Township, Armstrong County and on 18 October 1833 a patent for this property was granted jointly to John Mateer and the heirs of Francis Johnston. Partition on 26 December 1833 released to Mateer the 218 acres 71 perches mentioned hereafter. The 1850 census of Franklin Township lists John Mateer aged 68 years, with wife Margaret aged 58 years and three children at home, Rosanna aged 22, George W. aged 21, and Anthony aged 16 years. On 10 April 1855 John Mateer and wife Margaret of Franklin Township for $3100 conveyed to Samuel Mateer (their son) of Pine Township, 218 acres 71 perches in Franklin Township, adjoining lands of John Montgomery, Alexander W. Johnston as Executor, John Buchanon and William Wasson. Witnesses: D. B. Heiner and Alex A. Lowery. In 1860 John Mateer Sr. aged 78 was living in Wayne County, Illinois, in "South Range 5, East Township 3:; his household included his wife Margaret aged 68 born in Ireland, Rosanna Mateer aged 28, Anthony Mateer aged 25, and Jake Montgomery aged 12 years. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 62.
