Jeremiah Brainard sued Simon Matteson for fathering
3 children by his wife Elizabeth. He sued in Rome
Ny. Jeremiah won. Who were the children?
The Brainard family and the Matteson families livedd

Was the date of the law suit
between 1825 and 1830??
Was this where Laban Norton Matteson b. 1812 got his
money to buy a farm in Shaftsburg, Bennington Co. Vt in
1830 at age 18??? He is not descended from the Matteson's
he bought the farm from. Why did Jeremiah sue? Did
he wantSimon to set upthose children and he could
set up hisown blood children?This was a serious
crime in those days. Ido know that Simon's brother
Peleg moved to Warren Co. Illinois. Laban movedto
Warren co. After the Civil War. At the time of the
Civil War Laban was living in Stamford Vt. Two of
Laban's sons, Albert and Oscar joined theUnion
Army from Stamford, Vt. Simon was the son of Benajah
Mattesonand Mary Clark. Simon was born in 1784.
