The Mattes I have in Scranton were all born from 1860's-1870's. There were 3 girls Anna, Wihilmina, and Sadie. Anna married Luther Casterline had 1 daughter. Wilhiminia married William Withers and had three sons. Sadie never married and died in 1913 of uterine cancer. Buried at Forest Hill Cemetery.
I do not know if they had brothers or if they were related to any other Mattes in Scranton area.
There is a Conrad and Amelia Mathis buried in the German Luthern Cemetery which was reinterred. I don't know if they are related. Go to roots.web then go to Lackawana County. They have more info posted at that web site.
I do not know who the parents were of my Mattes nor do I know of any Mattes that carried on the name. I know of no connection to your Mattes.
Sorry,
Lisa
