Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Joseph MATTESON was born Abt 1740 (son of Thomas MATTESON).

    Notes:

    Joseph was "of Thomas, of East Greenwich."

    Joseph married Ruth JONES 6 Dec 1762, East Greenwich, RI. Ruth (daughter of Seth JONES and Deliverance BRIGGS) was born Abt 1740. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Ruth JONES was born Abt 1740 (daughter of Seth JONES and Deliverance BRIGGS).

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this Ruth Jones belongs with this particular Joseph Matteson, father of Ruth Matteson.

    The marriage record identifies Ruth Jones as "of Exeter, daughter of Seth, dec'd."

  1. 4.  Thomas MATTESON was born Abt 1715.

    Notes:

    Thomas was "of East Greenwich." He may have been the Thomas who was a son of Francis Matteson & Sarah Nichols, who were married in 1700 at East Greenwich. Or, he may have been a son of Thomas Matteson, father of Mercy who was b c 1705, probably at East Greenwich.

    Notes:

    Seth was "of Exeter." The marriage records identifies him as "of Lieut. Jeremiah."

    Exeter land evidence dated 5 July 1753 mentions Seth Jones of Exeter, cooper, kinsman of John Raynolds, Jr.

    On 27 Apr 1757, Deliverance Jones, widow of Seth, petitioned the Exeter Town Council concerning the estate of her late husband. She requested that, as her husband had died intestate, that [Capt.] John Raynolds be appointed administrator, as he was one of the principal creditors of said estate.
