Brickwall - Matteson

My friend Marti and I recently did some deed work at the Williams County Recorder's Office for a request on help with Matteson, Mattison, Madison families in Brady Twp, Williams Co, OH.  If you as a guest know anything that can be helpful, please email me and I'll pass it along to the researcher.

Wow!! I know this is an old post, but I just ran across it. That's a LOT of good details. How'd you get on to looking at Mattesons anyhow? I've just now (after 17 years!) definitely connected my wife's Mattesons to Alden/Oldin/Aldin (whatever) and Lydia/Lyddia. Their son Alden/Aldin/Allen Matteson/Mattison married Cornelia Buchanan, and I couldn't find them on the 1860 census until seeing the 1860 Brady census where they are listed as Matterson (I just never ran across that particular misspelling for them). I notice in your land records they are referred to as Mattison. Is that probably the actual spelling?
