G.R. Prowell's History of Camden County, 1886. pp. 609-610. TIMOTHY MATLACK, son of William, came to Haddonfield in 1726 and opened a shop. In 1733 he was assessed 10 s., and Sarah Norris 6s, 8d. Matlack received from his father, William, in 1714, a tract of land in Waterford township, near Glendale, where he built a house and settled. In 1726 he sold it and removed to Haddonfield. It does not appear that he bought until August 6, 1732, in which year he purchased of John Estaugh several lots on the west side of Main Street, embracing the American House property, and above and below and some distance to the rear. On September 1st, the same year, he bought four acres of John Kay, on the east side of the main street, opposite the American House. In 1743 he sold part of the last-named purchase to Jacob Clement, a tanner, in whose descendants it still remains. The lot on which the residence of George Horter now stands was part of the four acres of Matlack. Timothy Matlack purchased land on the north side of the road of Mary Gill and John Gill, Jr., March 31, 1744, which, October 17, 1754, he sold to John and Daniel Hillman, who, May 15, 1758, sold to John Shivers; the house now occupied by Mrs. Joseph B. Tatem, on Main Street, standing on the premises, was shortly after built. TIMOTHY MATLACK, a son of Timothy Matlack, was born in Haddonfield, in 1730, and afterwards became noted in the councils of the nation. When a young man he moved to Philadelphia. He was educated as a Friend, and consequently as a non-resistant, but during the Revolutionary War he served as a colonel, for which he was "dealt with" by the Society and lost his membership. He was secretary of the Continental Congress when that body was in session in Philadelphia, and was known as an earnest advocate of the cause of the colonies. He died in 1829, and was buried in the grave-yard of the Society of Free Quakers (of which he was a member), on South Fifth Street, Philadelphia. More later, Vince
