Notes:

In 1709, he and his wife, Catharine, and their six children arrived in England. In 1710, the family reached America. In the meantime, one child had died. They were among the settlers in the Schoharie Valley in New York State.

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.
