Carla,
I apoligize I hadn't replied sooner. I came across this doing a search getting started on my family tree again. Here is what I have for Mathias:

Mathias Cordie Born April 4, 1827. I have it listed as in Prussia based on Census records. He died June 21 1888 in St. Martin, MN.
The children I have listed are:
Eva Cordie b. 1859
Susanna Cordie b. 1861
Leonard Cordie b. 1865 ( I have more information on him from the Marshall County Centennial)
Katherina Cordie b. 1867
Margaretha Cordie b. 1873

I also have information on whom I believe is his brother John Cordie which is the family tree that is where I am connected to.

John Cordie is listed as born in Prussia in 1823 and dies ? in Minnesota He was married to Katherina b. 1826-1827 ?

Yheir children are: Elizabeth Cordie b. 1849
Nicholas Cordie ( Sr.) b. 1853 Germany (?) Died September 22 1911.
John Cordie b. 1856
Anton Cordie b. 1859
Kathryn Cordie b. 1859
Mathias Cordie b. 1863

I have far more than that but way too much to type here!
