Roger, Is Hans Matter's line related to John Michael Matter's (1763-1852)line? In John Michael Matter's line there is a Johann Solomon Matter 1806-1877 m. Isabel (Elizabeth) Rowe 1810-abt 1852. Do you have any of that line forward. Did they have a dau. Elizabeth b. 1845 and married George Washington Keiter??? Also do you have any info on the Stoneroad clan of Dauphin? Why did so many from Dauphin and North'd. Co,PA move to Ogle Co., IL? I am amazed to say the least. I had no idea of this "coincidence" until I started working on the Garman line.
