    Notes:

    Nicholas Mattice was a member of the Militia during the French and Indian Wars under the Crown. While he was never called upon, he swore fidelity to the king. At the time of the revolution, he remained neutral. However, after Captain McDonald's Raid, Aug. 17, 1777 and the Battle of Cobelskill, May 29, 1778, those who were to be loyal to the colonies had to sign allegiance and he chose to go to Canada. He left an improved farm of 440 acres at Schoharie.

    A large party left Schoharie and entered Canada via Niagara. The party first went to Hamilton where they parted. Some remained there. Nicholas and his entire family (three sons had been in the Militia also) went to New Johnson (now Cornwall), Upper Canada. He filed his claim as a Loyalist which was proved 29 Nov. 1787 to the amount of 590.18.00 pounds. He was also in Butler's Rangers, Eastern District (Public Archives, American Loyalists, Vol. 30) He received Lot 35 (200 acres) for his services, in the first concession, County of Stormont (Plan No. 5 of Twp.

    The Mattice Coat of Arms is described in what Douglas Mattice (b. 1958) referred to as "our family book" as follows:

    "The Coat of Arms consists of two banners, one scarlet over one of black. On the scarlet banner are three dice. Above the banner, a helmut or crown of Gold, with a forearm and hand holding and ax. The sleeve is of gold as is the ax handle. The blade is silver. Under the banner is a ribbon banner carrying the motto "Gro - Quad - Gram" - I Shall Be What I Have Been.

    In the book there is a picture of Joseph Mattice. He is wearing clothing that seem to be from the late 1800s but there is no date assigned to it.
