General Notes: Husband - Uriah Matson

---

He emigrated to America, with his wife and children, in September, 1786. The family settled first in Chester County, Pennsylvania, afterward removing to Indiana County.

Little is known of Uriah Matson outside of the church certificate, which he brought to America with him, as follows:
“That the bearer hereof, Uriah Matson, and Belle, his wife, have been members of this con­gregation from their infancy, and always main­tained an honest, sober and industrious char­acter, free from public scandal of any kind; and now intending to settle in some of the United States of North America, are there­fore recommended as regular members of any Christian Society where God in His Providence may appoint their lot. By
“James Delay, V. D. M.
“Dated at Fannet 11th June, 1786, County of Donegall, Kingdom of Ireland.”
