Bibliographic Information: Jenkins, Robert E. Jenkins Family Book. N.p., 1904. In the History of Montgomery County, by Theodore W. Bean, p. 126, it is stated: "Nils Matson was a native of Sweden and very probably the ancestor of John Matson, mentioned in the list in 1693. The latter is represented at that date as having eleven persons in his family. One of the same name, who was probably a son, is represented as having moved into Upper Merion on a large tract of land adjoining Lower Merion. As the country became settled a ford was established here and thus received the name of Matson's Ford. During the Revolution the American army crossed several times at this place. It was then owned by Peter Matson, and on his death the land was divided among his sons, leaving each a farm."
