    In the Portrait and Biographical Album of Hillsdale Co., Michigan, 1888, on page 433, reference is made to Alice Jones, daughter of Levi and Melinda (Oliver) Jones, as the wife of Benjamin Mathias, at that time residing "near Ottawa, KS".

    3. Generation: 4

    1. 12.  Paul Mathias was born in 1808/1809 in Ohio, United States; died in Jan 1867 in Hancock, Ohio, United States; was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States.

      Notes:

      In the 1850 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $5,000.00. He and his wife and children reside in Blanchard Twp. next door to his first cousin, Jacob, who is married to his wife's sister, Mary Ann, and their children. Dorothy Weiser Seale states on page 331 in her book Math(t)hias Milestones (1984) that "Paul and his wife Barbara moved from Stark Co., Ohio to Hancock Co., Blanchard Twp., Ohio sometime before 1840. In the 1850 Census, Paul was a landowner with considerable acreage in Hancock Co. and resided there with his wife and ten of their children. His farm adjoined that of Jacob and Mary Ann Mathias... his first cousin."

      In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul and Barbara continue to reside in Blanchard Twp. but their post office address was then identified as Gilboa. Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $15,000.00 and whose Personal Estate value is $2,500.00.

      On page 331 of Mat(t)hias Milestones, Ms. Seale explains: "Their farm was near the Putnam County border, and Gilboa was the largest town and closest delivery point. As one of his father's heirs, and as one of the beneficiaries of his sister Polly's Will, Paul inherited a share of the property in the Southwest Quarter of Section 3, Twp. 19, Range 7 in Stark Co., Nimishillen Twp., Ohio. On 3 March 1863, while they were residents of Gilboa, Putnam County, Ohio, Paul and Barbara Mathias did, by deed of quit claim, convey their interest in Section 3 to John Krabill who paid them the sum of $900."

      Paul and Barbarey (as it is spelled on her headstone) are buried next to each other. His marker states that he was aged 53 years, 5 months 6 days when he died; that would make his year of birth 1813 though the Census records suggest he was born in 1808 or 1809. However, a letter written by Paul and Barbara's son, Captain John C. Mathias, in his Pension File states that Paul died in 1864.

      Paul married Barbara (Barbary) Stambaugh on 16 Aug 1832 in Stark, Ohio, United States. Barbara (daughter of Henry Stambaugh and Catharina Walter) was born in 1812/1813 in Pennsylvania, United States; was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


    2. 13.  Barbara (Barbary) Stambaugh was born in 1812/1813 in Pennsylvania, United States (daughter of Henry Stambaugh and Catharina Walter); was buried in Dukes Cemetery, Blanchard, Hancock, Ohio, United States.

      Notes:

      The payment voucher that Barbara (Barbary) signed for receipt of her inheritance from her father's estate showed that in November 1866 she resided in Hancock County, Ohio.

      In the 1870 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Barbara is the head of household. Her single sons, David and Lewis, who work on the farm, reside with her at McComb, Blanchard Twp. Her Real Estate value is $3,000.00 and her Personal Estate value is $300.00.

      She is buried next to her husband and her marker identifes her as "Barbarey", w/o Paul who died aged 57 years 10 months being born on 30 July 1826. That would make her death year 1884. The birth year suggested is more than a decade later than any Census records suggest It would also make her only four years old when she married Paul! Obviously there are some errors in the dates recorded, either on the cemetery marker or in the typing of that volume of records.
