You did not indicate whether the 1926 date was a birth year, marriage year, death year, or random residence year, so this is a wild guess as to whether I have the right man or not.On the 1880 census of Jersey Shore (Lycoming County) is a Mathew Strayer, age 13, in the home of Jerry (age 46) and Nancy Strayer (age 40), with older sisters Ettie and Jane Strayer.
On the 1900 census, Jerry's birth is given as August, 1835. The census taker in 1900 used the more formal name "Jeremiah."
In 1900, Mathew was unmarried, working as a blacksmith in Corning, New York and living in a hotel.Per the census, he was born in July, 1866.
Is this the person for whom you were looking?
In any event, though, I do not have any information on Mathew's marriage.
