Hi Judith,

There is a listing for an Isaac Mathias in History of Hocking Valley Ohio,
pub. 1883.  Could possibly be William's grandfather?

ISAAC MATHIAS, breeder and dealer in short horn cattle and chester white 
hogs, Enterprise, Hocking Co., Ohio, eldest son of Abraham and
Christina (Zeller) Mathias, was born in Falls Township, Hocking Co., Ohio, 
Jan. 25, 1827.  He lived with his parents till manhood, receiving a
common-school education.  At the age of twenty-two years he purchased the 
farm first settled and cleared by his grandfather, Jacob Zeller, who
settled on the land in 1805.  On this farm is an apple-tree of the Penick
variety transplanted in 1808, which measures ten feet in circumference 
five feet from the ground; a pear-tree planted at the same time now 
measures six feet seven inches in circumference five from ground.  These
trees are regular bearers of fine fruit at the present time.  In April, 
1850, Mr. Mathias removed to the farm where he now resides.  He also owns 
other lands in this township.  In April, 1850, he married Margaret A., 
daughter of John and Mary (Havener) Lanham, of Falls Township.  They have 
five children - Lewis A., a physician; William P., a school teacher and 
member of the Board of County School Examiners; Sarah E., Joel B. and 
Edward S. at home.  Mary E. died at the age of twenty-six years; Amos L.,
in his second year, and a son and daughter died in infancy.  Mrs. Mathias 
died Jan. 6, 1878, in her fiftieth year.  She was a member of the United 
Brethren church.  April 27, 1882, he married Mrs. Martha Amerine, widow 
of Joseph Amerine and daughter of Jacob and Martha (Kelley) Reddick, of 
Washington Township.  Mr. and Mrs. Mathias are members of the United 
Brethren church.
