Jane, If you will get in touch with me, I'll be glad to furnish you info on the MATTERNs. My grmother was Ella (MATTERN) ROBINSON, youngest sister of your Edward. Our records on the family are now back to Alsace-Lorraine in the 1600's. I also am in touch with two other descendants of your Edd who would be very happy to hear from you, I'm sure.
