We received the following communication and was asked to share:

The Matteson Historical Congress of America is searching for new members. If you, or someone you know, has a surname of Matteson/Mattison/Madison/Mathewson, you may be descended from Henry Matteson. Our common immigrant, Henry, came in 1666 into Rhode Island. The Matteson Congress has held an Annual Reunion most years since 1940 and would like to have you join us! Quarterly newsletters on interesting Matteson history and facts, are a benefit to membership!

If you are not certain of your full line back to Henry “The Immigrant,” our Genealogists are happy to help members fill in the gaps. To find out more information please inquire at: mhcoa.org (Matteson Historical Congress of America).

Sincerely,
Janaye Matteson Houghton
Membership Chairperson
