Mattern Sphar Wash Co PA
I am a direct descendant of John Sphar (Spahr) who was the son of Mattern Spahr and Margaret Shively.They were married in the Loudon County, (VA) area about 1776 and moved to Washington County, PA in 1780.John was their oldest son followed by Mattern and Henry (who was born in Washington County).
I have been putting together the history of this family with maps from Switzerland to PA.It is still not completed, but it shows that Mattern Sphar arrived in Williamsburg, VA in 1763 most likely with his aunt, Anna Catharina Sparr.The family information indicates that there were at least two brothers and a sister that came with him.Two brothers also are supposed to have come to Washington County, PA with Mattern.
If anyone is interested in this history please let me know, and I will send it on.If there is any information on the brothers and sister of Mattern that came to Williamsburg with him I would appreciate it.I believe that they were older than Mattern.
