History of the Mattice Family
The Mattice family is probably one of the oldest families in the United States. The history goes back to Hendrick (Mattice) Matheys and his wife, Catharine, who left their native community on the lower Rhine in the spring of 1709, and eventually sailed from England to New York. They had 3 sons and 3 daughters. Nicholas, the oldest son, had six sons and stood at the head of the six Mattice families of which these records have been compiled.
Our families in Austin were descended from Frederick and are listed in the history as the "Frederick Line".
Albert and I went to New York to our family reunion in 1976. The Mattice family has met in annual reunion for over 50 years in the Schoharie Valley near Middleburg. We had a picnic at LaSalle Park and then went on a tour to places of interest, such as the original Mattice grant from Queen Anne of England, the site of Frederick Mattice's barn which was burned by the British, the Forte where members of the family fought off the British and the old church built in 1786 where they worshipped (and still in use).
This reunion commemorated the three Mattice who fought in the Revolution. One of them, age 12, George Mattice, served as a drummer boy and became a private in 1779 when old enough. LeVay C. Mattice prepared a Bicentennial Commemorative booklet for his golden anniversary reunion and copies were sold for $2.00. Besides the Mattice Family History by Rex G. Mattice, there are two books: The Palatines of New York State by Paul B. Mattice and The Mattices in Roman Times by Floyd J. Mattice. These are in our Washington Library of Congress.
One more paragraph of interest: The Romans built a fort at or near Mattice's Springs and the Roman Legionnaires were stationed there in southwestern Germany. To quote from the bicentennial booklet: Many Mattices, 2,000 years ago, were sired by Roman soldiers who had been stationed at Mattices' Springs. The Latin spelling is "Aquis Mattiacis" and today the place is called Wiesbaden.
I went to Europe in 1970 and visited Wiesbaden, our family ancestral home.
