Notes for Mathias HESS
He is reported as 27 to 45 years of age in the 1800 census, and must
have been born no earlier than 1755 and no later than 1773.

He is mentioned in his father's Will declared in 1772, and must have
been born sometime before then.

He is mentioned the 1790 Property Tax Assessment list for Hanover
Twp., Lancaster Co., Pa. He is probably at least 18 years of age to
appear in this list, therefore he must be born before 1772.

He was assigned a Guardian in a Codicil to his father's Will in 1772,
therefore he must be less than 18 years old in 1772, and therefore
born after 1754. He probably was very young in 1772 for him to be
assigned a guardian with his mother still alive.

His first child was born in 1793. If he was married the year before
at the age of 20, his birthyear would be 1772.
