Matthias sailed with his parents and five of his siblings from Le Havre, France on the ship “Waverly,” arriving in New York, New York on August 28, 1847.
Matthias’ birth year is given as 1840 on his grave marker and his name is spelled Mathias. However the 1900 census gives August 1838 as his birth month. The passenger list for the Waverly gives his age as eight, corresponding to a birth year of 1838 since his birthday in 1847 would have occurred after the passenger list was created at the start of the voyage.
In 1870 he and his family lived in North Ridgeville, Lorain County, Ohio near his parents and his brother John and Nikolaus and their families. In 1880 and 1900 he and his family lived in North Ridgeville. His name was spelled Diederick in the 1880 census and Dietrich or Dutrick in the 1900 census.
He reported having immigrated in 1846 but he and his parents and siblings immigrated in 1847.
He signed his will on August 6, 1900. It was probated on November 30, 1901 in Lorain County, Ohio. The probate record transcribed his name as Mathias Duderich.
