• Notes

  The biography of William N. Mateer's son in the "History of Morrow County, Ohio", 1911, by A. J. Baughman and Robert F. Bartlett says that Ross's mother was Elizabeth Porter and that he had a half brother Joseph McMullin. This reasonable interpretation from this statement is that Elizabeth was married first to a McMullin and that William Mateer was therefore her second husband. In the 1850 census of Franklin Township, Morrow County, Elizabeth Mateer aged 55 years was head of a household including John Mateer aged 20, farmer, Ross Mateer aged 18, carpenter, and Matilda J. Mateer aged 16. Each of the three children was credited with real property worth $400; so the inference is that William had died intestate leaving his children as joint owners of the farm. ---------- Reference: McTeer - Mateer Families of Cumberland County Pennsylvania, Frances Davis McTeer, 1975, p 70-71.
