Barbara,
My post about Daniel was getting a bit long, so I figured I'd put info about the 2 Matthias's in a different post.
Do you know much about Matthias's ancestry?Some of it is pretty interesting and well documented.The mother of the Matthias who was born in 1739 was Catharina Mattson who married Jacob Richman.Catharina descended from several voyagers upon the Kalmar Nyckel, which brought many Swedish and Finnish settlers to the New Sweden colony (currently Wilmington, DE) circa 1639.
Here's some info I have on Matthias:
