Matthias Trimmer Sr. was born in 1722 at Readington, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, USA.1 He married Anna Martha Nochber, daughter of Leonard Noebler Sr. and Margaret (?), in 1742.1
Matthias Trimmer Sr. died in 1793 at Morris Co., New Jersey, USA.1
He was a mentioned with Johannes John Trimmer; Hampton [1943:85] lists children.2
Matthias Trimmer Sr. and Anthony I "Tunis" Trimmer lived circa 1750 at German Valley, Washington Township, Gloucester Co., New Jersey, USA; Chambers [1895] contains numerous references to German TRIMMERs in New Jersey in the mid1700s:
p. 146: "Our own village of German Valley is situated on the Logan tract of 1,666 2-3 acres, surveyed to James Logan on the 12th of May, 1713 ... This tract was all bought by, or at least the deeds were given at about the same time, 1749, to six purchases, John Peter Scharpentstein, Philip Weise, Tunis (Anthony) Trimmer, William Welsch, Leonard Neighbor and Matthias Trimmer."
p. 148: "Tunis Trimmer bought the farm next to Philip Weise of 315 acres for ? 150 ($400), 30th May, 1750 ... Tunis was the son of John, or Hunterdon Co., and the brother of Matthias of German Valley. He died 1754. His will [Trenton, Lib 8, fol. 77], dated 7th November, probated 21st December, 1754, names wife Elisabeth, and children: Paul, the oldest; Mary, who perhaps married 2d December 1768; and Anthony. Thomas Faircloe, who was appointed, Nov. 1st, 1770, the guardian of the son Anthony, may have married the widow Elisabeth and not ... the daughter of Tunis."
p. 151: "Matthias Trimmer bought the farm next to Leonard Neighbor, the last one of the Logan tract. He paid ? 160 ($427) for 338 1/2 acres, of which he was in actual possession, 30 May, 1750 ... It was divided in 1793 between his sons John, who received 220 acres, and David; who received 110 acres ... Matthias was the oldest son of John Trimmer, who came with his brother from Germany or Holland to America. The brother and his family cannot be traced. All of this name in Morris and Hunterdon counties are descendants of John. He probably arrived in ship Davy at Philadelphia on the 35th of October, 1738. He and his son Matthias were naturalized by act of Assembly in 1744. He had twelve children by two wives, nine sons and three daughters. Four of his sons settled in the valley. Besides Matthias, William settled east of Middle Valley and had one son Conrad; Tunis on the Hager property, and Nicholas near Parker. George, Harbert and John settled in Amwell township, Hunterdon Co., where their descendants are still to be found.3
Matthias Trimmer Sr. was the executor of Johannes John Trimmer's estate on 21 February 1750 at Hunterdon Co., New Jersey, USA; Abstract seen on FaG Memorial (see attached image).
"1749-50, Jan. 10. Tremer, Johannes, of Amwell, Hunterdon Co; will of. Wife, Mary. Children by first wife - Tys, Toenis, Andry, Gorg, and Herbert Tremer.

Death 12 Jul 1821 (aged 80), Amwell, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, USA
Burial Burial Details Unknown
John, called Johannes by his parents, was born before 1745. He was the son of Johannes Trimmer and Elsa Catharina Engel Trimmer. His mother died when he was nearly seven years old, and his father died two years later. He had five or six little brothers and sisters.
He married Susanna Servis. They had eight children: John G. in 1763, Amos in 1765, Henry in 1767, Susannah in 1776, Mary about 1784, Sarah in 1786, and Hannah and Catharine, whose birth years are unknown.
He was a blacksmith, farmer and Overseer of the Poor. He resided in Amwell Twp., Hunterdon Co., New Jersey.
John was recognized by the government for his service in furnishing supplies during the Revolutionary War (DAR ancestor no. A205378).
John's will was signed on May 16, 1819. His estate was inventoried on Aug. 16, 1821 and his will was probated on Sept. 22, 1821.
According to Marfy Goodspeed in Harmony School Rightly Named, in Goodspeed Histories, dated Dec. 27, 2013:
"County Historian Frank Burd wrote many years ago that there was a burying ground near the Boarshead Tavern on the west side of the Trenton Road; the stones were rough and have long since disappeared. Burd thought that many Trimmers had been buried there."
This was probably Harmony Burying Ground, which was on or near the Trimmer property on the western side of Croton Road between Boars Head Road and Harmony School Road in Flemington, Hunterdon Co., New Jersey. This cemetery no longer exists, so it is best to list John's burial location as unknown.
