Tish,
I would love to have the obit. also. John married Sarah Matson (daughter of Morris Matson) and she was his cousin.
Neamiah Matson was the brother to Sarah and they moved into Berkley Co.,Virginia (now West Virginia) and settled there for a while. John died and his wife and family moved into Ohio. Neamiah moved into Ohio first then the family moved. He (Neamiah) was became a Quaker (if he wasn't already) and Sarah was a Methodist. There has been a debate over wheather this family connected but I am sure they did down from John and Margaret (?) Mattson/Matson. They were in Upper Marion, Chester County, Pennsylvania ---I think.
The obit. will perhaps clear some of the mystery in the family.
Paul
