These men could have been brothers, but we have not yet found records of their births. There are earlier occurrences of the Mathia name in the Tuchel area, but no direct connections have yet been possible. Since many or most of the Mathia-Matthia family members (of the Polish-Prussian Branch) actively doing research are descended from one of these patriarchs, there is less information about possible descendants of the others in the area. | These men could have been brothers, but we have not yet found records of their births.

[https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&person=KCXS-1FQ Christian Matthia, born about 1720] and married 4 January 1749 in Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, is the patriarch of this branch. Christian's descendants are spread through France, Europe, and the United States today. Many American descendants come through Peter Matthia, born 17 February 1835 in Hambach, Bas-Rhin, France. Peter died 1 August 1906 near Joplin, Missouri. In the United States, his name was spelled Mathia. For the purposes of Mathia - Matthia Family Organization Y-DNA research, it is important to identify male-to-male descendants of Christian who are not descended through Peter. | [https://familysearch.org/tree/#view=ancestor&person=KCXS-1FQ Christian Matthia, born about 1720] and married 4 January 1749 in Puberg, Bas-Rhin, France, is the patriarch of this branch.
