Charles Matthias of Philadelphia, Saddler, b. 1802 - who is he?

pkmatthias — 2009-09-28 15:09:04Z

Can you help with Charles, my ggg grandfather? He continues to be my top brick wall. Born 27 May 1802 in Philadelphia, dies 30 August 1877 in Philadelphia. He married Mary Brown and they lived in Philadelphia. I have Charles and Mary's 11 children fairly well-documented. But I have next to nothing about their siblings or parents.

I think Charles mother's name could be Mary Stevenson (1773-1841) but I'm not sure. He also might have a brother Henry from Philadelphia, but again I'm not 100% positive.

Appreciate sharing information.

Many Thanks,
Paul Matthias

I have a John Matthias, but the one you mentioned is not mine. I did a quick look on Ancestry.com and found a John S. Matthias living in Reading, PA with his wife Sallie E (Wilson) Matthias and mother in law Clara Wilson on the 1900 and 1920 Census. Didn't find an open Family Tree for a John S. Hope this might help you find the family that goes with that photo. Good Luck!!

I have a photo that I bought at an antique store of a man named John Matthias. This is a cabinet photo taken around 1890 in Reading, PA. The man looks to be about 30.
I would like to get this back to someone in his family. Anyone interested can e-mail me at odyssey1313 @ hotmail.com

Re: saxonygermany

TracyMatthias — 2007-06-09 22:03:21Z

This is my husbands line, and I have gained a great deal of information since last posting here in 2000. The family immigrated to Kansas from a village near Stendal, Germany in 1884. They first stopped at Carbondale, KS and then moved to the Perry / Grantville area in Jefferson Co., KS. Below are the basics. I have more, but nothing prior to immigration. I recently found an old family tree with pictures attached. Please contact me at Tracy.Matthias@wildblue.net if this looks like your line. Thanks!

Johann Christoph 'Christopher' Matthias
b. May 7, 1824 Uenglingen, Stendal, Germany
d. Sep 18, 1888 Perry, Jefferson, Kansas

Karoline Sophie Louise Piper
b. Germany
(Most have Johann's wife listed as Dorothea Elisabeth Piper b. Aug 24, 1831, and Elisabeth is the name listed in all census. However, I have a picture of Johann with Karoline listed in the family tree of my inlaw's wedding book. Neither of these women's names are with the other famiy graves at Mt. Calvary cemetary. Any info to clear up this mistery would be appreciated.)

Johann had the following six children:
Frederick William Matthias b. Dec 29, 1855 d. Aug 17, 1913
Christoph 'Christ' Matthias b. Aug 8, 1857
Dorothea 'Dora' Elisabeth Matthias b. Nov 26, 1861 d. Jan 18, 1956
Wilhelmina 'Minnie' Matthias b. Dec. 15, 1863 d. Mar 31, 1941
Christoph August Wilhelm 'William' Matthias b. Feb 4, 1866 d. Aug 1946 (this is my husbands grandfather)
Elisabeth 'Lizzie' Matthias b. Jan 3, 1869 d. Oct 27, 1950

I believe my third g-grandfather's name was Johan Heinrich Justus Fredrich Matthias, born in Hanover, Germany, in 1795, and immigrated to the US around 1836. The 1850 census has his name Frederick Matis. The surname later changed to Matthews or Mathews).

Anyone know anything about this line?

Re: Leonard Matthias

RYonan — 2006-05-17 03:22:36Z

Because Louis/Lewis was the 10th of 11 children very few of his siblings were still alive in 1932. I only have two that were still alive at that date (Jacob and Catherine) but I am missing death dates for 4 others.

Re: Leonard Matthias

RYonan — 2006-05-17 03:14:21Z

Leonard and his wife Caroline had 11 children. Leonard was the son of John Matthias/Mathias (1786-1828) and his wife Anna Mary Fackler (1789-1866).

John and Anna Mary had 9 children. Leonard (1807-1881) was the oldest. Their second child , Adam, is my GGG grandfather.

1. Leonard
2. Adam
3 Barbara
4. John
5 Gottlieb
6 Mary
7 Susannah
8 Simon Peter
9 George

I have much more info. on these people. Let me know if you want more dates/spouses/children, etc.

Tracy, thanks so much for the information! I'd love to have any information you can share - I'm trying to make our Family tree as complete as possible. I had no info on where these g-g-g grandparents of mine ended up although I suspected it must have been Kansas. Is Perry near Carbondale? (I live in Canada so my detailed knowledge of American states is not very good!)

I was also fortunate to have had a reply from another Matthias descendent who lives in Washington state. Are you familiar with this branch, are you looking for info on them? If so, I'll dig up my details/contact for you.

My GreatGrandmother, Sarah Anne Mathias married my GreatGranfather, Joseph Mack in York County, PA in 1864.
On my Grandfather's death certificate her place of birth is listed as Pedina. Don't know where that is.
She later married Dawson Aderholt and is buried in Dauphin County.
Haven't been able to find either one on any census records.
John A Mathias from York County served in the 87th Pennsylvania Infantry in the Civil War.He is buried in Pleasant Grove United Methodist Cemetery in York County.

EHANSEN4700 — 2004-08-11 17:16:38Z

I am looking for information about Conrad Heinrich Matthias who came to Kansas from Will County, IL, where he owned land and appears in the 1870 and 1880 federal census. He was born abt 1820 in Kur Hesse, Germany. His daughter, Sophia married Willam August Soelter on 2/28/1891 in Kansas. Two of Sophia's brothers changed the spelling of their last name to Mathies. I would like to hear from anyone that might be connected with this Matthias family.

Kansas

EHANSEN4700 — 2004-08-11 17:16:38Z

It may be possible that your great grandfather could be a brother to my relative, however, at this point that is just conjecture. Conrad Heinrich Matthias came to the USA with a wife and child sometime between 1856 and 1858, I do not know if he had brothers/sisters. He was born in about 1820. He owned land in Will County, IL by 1970. Then he brought part of his family to Wabaunsee County, KS, sometime between 1880 and 1891. He and his wife (maybe two wives as there is some evidence that his first wife died) had as least 11 children. My great grandmother was the fifth child - she used to talk about coming to Kansas in a covered wagon. She was married in Kansas in 1891.

Wilhelm Agusta Matthias

EHANSEN4700 — 2004-08-11 17:16:38Z

Conrad Heinrich Matthias came with his wife, Cathrine Marie "Mary" Dorthea Steege (Stege) Matthias, to the US from Germany. They settled in Beecher, Will County, Illinois, and had 11 children. They came to Wabaunsee County, Kansas between 1880 and 1890. One of their sons was William Carl Matthias/Mathies. It is possible that Conrad had brothers and sisters that also came to the US from Germany. I do not know why they came to Kansas from Illinois at such a late time in their life. Conrad died in 1890 and is buried in a cemetery at Alma, Kansas, as is his wife, "Mary", although they are not buried together. However, at this time, I do not have any information on any of Conrad's brothers or sisters.

TSMatthias — 2005-03-14 03:07:19Z

Alison,

Johaun Christoph Matthias is my husbands g-grandfather. I just visited his grave this afternoon at Mt Calvery Cemetery in Perry, KS. The headstone said 'Christopher' but the dates are the same (b: 5/7/1824, d; 9/18/1888). Elizabeth did not have a headstone, her grave may be unmarked. The 1900 census shows her living with my husbands grandparents
C.A. 'William' Matthias and his wife Katie on the family farm in Perry, KS. I believe Johaun and Elizabeth had six children, the four you listed, plus C.A. William (b: 1886, d: 1946) and Frederick William (b: 12/29/1855, d: 8/17/1913).

I have more info on William and Katie's family if you are interested, but nothing more on Johaun and Elizabeth.
