Matthias and Mary Magdalene Smith Harshman were early settlers of the Western Reserve of Ohio. They left Maryland in 1798. In the year 1800, according to Williams' History of Trumbull County, Ohio, Matthias moved his family westward into Washington Co., PA. In 1807 he had again moved westward, this time into the new state of Ohio.
After 7 years at a location in what is now Austintown twp., Mahoning County, Ohio he moved his family in 1814 to a farm in Weathersfield twp., Trumbull County. Here he lived and farmed for the rest of his life. He died at the home of his youngest son, Andrew, in Lordstown, Trumbull County, Ohio.
As his son Andrew is buried in Soaptown Cemetery he may possibly be buried in Soaptown Cemetery, Lordstown, Ohio where there are older unmarked graves, or near Ohltown, Mahoning County, Ohio.
