General Notes: Husband - Peter Mattern

---

The Mattern family in America sprang from Peter Mattern (formerly spelled Matthorn), who was a native of the Valley of the Rhine, born near the Matterhorn, one of the Swiss mountains, or Pennine Alps, Canton Valais. About the year 1750 he and his wife came to America and settled in the state of Maryland, where nine children were born to them. In 1779 three of the family-Jacob, David and George-moved into the Spruce Creek Valley in what later became Huntingdon County, in Pennsylvania, where for over a century the homestead remained in the possession of the descendants of the patriarch. In the cemetery of the old Lutheran Church at the Seven Stars, which was part of the old homestead, George Mattern and his wife lie buried, and around them many of their posterity sleep their last sleep.
