  • Notes 
    • Henry is a farmer whose Real Estate value is $300.00 in the 1860 Hancock County, Ohio Census. He and his wife, their son, Jacob, and a ten-year-old male named Enoch Stall born in Ohio, reside in Blanchard Twp. The next dwelling from them is unoccupied and the next one is the home of Henry's parents.

      In the 1870 Hillsdale County, Michigan Census, Henry and Elizabeth and their three children reside in Woodbridge Twp. where he is a farmer with $1,400.00 in Real Estate Value. They reside next door to his sister, Julia Ann, and her husband and their children.

      In the 1880 Hillsdale County, Michigan Census, Henry and Elizabeth and their children, Alice, Gennetta, Mellissa, and Albert, and Henry's father, Jacob, aged 75, reside in Woodbridge Twp. where Henry is a farmer.

      According to Mat(t)hias milestones : the genealogy & biographical history of Daniel Mathias, senior (a soldier of the Revolution) of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania & Stark County, Ohio by Dorothy Weiser Seale,


      According to his Civil War papers obtained from National Archives in Washington, D.C., Henry H. Mathias enlisted for
      100 days' service on 5 May 1864 at Cleveland, Ohio and was a Private in Company G, 150th Regiment, Ohio National Guard Infantry under the command of Capt. J. Nevins. According
      to an early biographical history, "The 150th Ohio Infantry was sent to join the Army of the Potomac, then under the command
      of Gen. George B. McClellan. Pvt. Mathias took an active
      part in the battle of Silver Spring, Md., but was unfortunately taken sick with typhoid fever." His official papers state that
      while in the line of duty at Fort Lincoln in Washington, D.C.,
      he became ill with typhoid fever and was sent to Finley USA General Hospital at District of Columbia for treatment during July and August, 1864. His illness resulted in kidney disease, rheumatism, weak back, heart disease, and diarrhea, and he was declared incapable of further military service. He was
      honorably discharged at Finley Hospital in Washington D.C.
      on 26 August 1864 with a Surgeon's Certificate of Diasbility,
      and mustered out at Cleveland, Ohio. (pp.123-124)


      After his service with the Army, Henry and Elizabeth resided in Putnam County, Ohio but, according to Mrs. Seale's book, moved in 1866


      ...to Woodbridge Twp., Hillsdale Co., Michigan where his
      father Jacob, his uncle Daniel Mathias, III, and his brother
      Jesse were residing. Hillsdale County was a superiour farming community. After Henry's mother, Mary Ann, died in 1877, his father Jacob lived with him in Woodbridge until his death in
      1882. In 1883 Henry moved to Camden Twp. where he owned
      53 1/2 acres of land in Section 21...Henry was a member of the Grange and of the GAR Post at Camden, and was an active member of the Free-Will Baptist denomination in Woodbridge Township." (124)

      on 5 May 1864 Henry joined the Union Army at age 26 and served in Company G, 150th Regiment, Ohio National Guard Infantry
      that Henry was a farmer, and that, before the Civil War he resided in Hancock County, Ohio, that after the Civil War he resided in Putnam County, Ohio and had moved to Woodbridge Twp., Hillsdale County, Michigan as of 1866 and that he was a member of the Free-Will Baptist church.

      According to A Portrait and Biographical Record of Putnman County, Ohio (1896), page 358, at that time Henry resided in Montgomery, Michigan.
