We have from "Records of St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover, (York County)Pennsylvania 1741-1831", translated with an introduction by Frederick S. Weiser, pub. by Picton Press, Camden Maine, 1994. page 130: Georg MARTER and wife Anna A son Adam born 28 Jan 1817 baptized 29 March 1817 Sponsors Heinrich MARTER and wife Margaretha courtesy Vanessa Stern and Ray D. Schwartz ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sponsors Heinrich MARTER and wife Margaretha are no doubt the well documented Heinrich MATTER/MATTER and Margaretha WILDASIN vs sp of the Mannheim Township line. But the Georg MARTER is not so certain, since Georg MARTER/Motter.Matter apparently did not marry in York County - better to say we can not find a record of his marriage. Is he from the Maryland tribe of Matter/Motter and vs sp ? Any record of his marriage in Maryland? Or is he from the tribe that settled east of the Susquehanna River in Lancaster and Dauphin Counties and while he was passing through Mannheim Township he paused to have Adam baptized? There is no record of him as head of household in Mannheim Township in 1830 (the 1280 census of this township is not legible - most unfortunately) nor can we find Adam - although other researchers say he died somewhere in 1884? If he followed the naming customs of German-speakers he named his son, assuming this is his first son, Adam after his father. There are no given name Adam in the Mannheim Township tribe. But there are some in Maryland and east of the Susquehanna River - any comments appreciated Hal
