Notes
- In the 1850 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $5,000.00. He and his wife and children reside in Blanchard Twp. next door to his first cousin, Jacob, who is married to his wife's sister, Mary Ann, and their children. Dorothy Weiser Seale states on page 331 in her book Math(t)hias Milestones (1984) that "Paul and his wife Barbara moved from Stark Co., Ohio to Hancock Co., Blanchard Twp., Ohio sometime before 1840. In the 1850 Census, Paul was a landowner with considerable acreage in Hancock Co. and resided there with his wife and ten of their children. His farm adjoined that of Jacob and Mary Ann Mathias... his first cousin." In the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census, Paul and Barbara continue to reside in Blanchard Twp. but their post office address was then identified as Gilboa. Paul is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $15,000.00 and whose Personal Estate value is $2,500.00. On page 331 of Mat(t)hias Milestones, Ms. Seale explains: "Their farm was near the Putnam County border, and Gilboa was the largest town and closest delivery point. As one of his father's heirs, and as one of the beneficiaries of his sister Polly's Will, Paul inherited a share of the property in the Southwest Quarter of Section 3, Twp. 19, Range 7 in Stark Co., Nimishillen Twp., Ohio. On 3 March 1863, while they were residents of Gilboa, Putnam County, Ohio, Paul and Barbara Mathias did, by deed of quit claim, convey their interest in Section 3 to John Krabill who paid them the sum of $900." Paul and Barbarey (as it is spelled on her headstone) are buried next to each other. His marker states that he was aged 53 years, 5 months 6 days when he died; that would make his year of birth 1813 though the Census records suggest he was born in 1808 or 1809. However, a letter written by Paul and Barbara's son, Captain John C. Mathias, in his Pension File states that Paul died in 1864.
