General Notes: Husband - James Mateer

---

The family name was formerly McAteer.

The founder of this family in America, he was born in Ireland, and was of Scotch-Irish parentage. Crossing the Atlantic with his wife and family, he settled in the Cumberland valley in Pennsylvania some time before 1760, seven miles from Harrisburg and one mile from Mechanicsville, obtaining 414¾ acres of land from the Penns, on which he made his home and devoted himself to farming. There he reared his family. He served in the Revolutionary war.
