Notes

The family moved to Peter's Township in Cumberland County in 1779, then to Frederick County, Maryland in 1781. In 1796 his family moved to Rockbridge County, Virginia. Then in 1807 they were in Botetourt County, Virginia. Mathias married Mary "Polly" Hill, who was born in New Jersey, daughter of James and Sarah. In the will of Nicholas he was confirmed in 150 acres on which he then lived. This land was probably in Rockbridge County. Mathias and his wife, Mary, conveyed substantial acreage in Rockbridge in 1804 and 1805 and sold a 150 acre tract on Cedar Creek to William Shields in August, 1814. By 1827 Mathias and his family had moved to Hiwassee, McMinn County, Tennessee. He would be joined later by his mother Evey, daughter Elizabeth and her husband Henry John. After Mary Hill's death, Mathias married Mary "Polly" Fenny. Mathias was a carpenter. He built his home on Sec. 29, Twp. 5, Rng.1, east of Median. He owned his land. Mathias and his wife were buried in a small cemetary near their home.
