- [Bob Sweezey notes: "According to the "Ancient Burial Grounds of Southold, Long Island, NY 1677-1807", Mathias died 16 Jan 1723/4 in the 38th year of his age. This would put his birth date at about 1687. This would put his mother Martha's age at over 50 when Mathias was born, plus he would be 13 years younger than his wife. I believe the transcript is wrong, but I am not sure what his birth date should be.
I don't think his death date is wrong, because his wife died in 1721/22, and her death inscription indicates that her husband is still alive in 1721/22. So my feeling is that it is his age at death which is wrong, and shoudl probably be 48 years old."]
