THE MATTINGLY FAMILY IN EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly, 1975 , at
p. 46 in an article on James Mattingly d. 1745 (1656) and his son Rob ert
Mattingly (2620): "It seems likely that Robert was married twice, fi rstto
Jane Cole (2623), daughter of Robert Cole, who was brother of Ruth Co le,wife
of Thomas Mattingly III (uncle of Robert). Robert Cole, in his Wil l of1771
(citing SMC Md. Wills, Liber 38, folio 515, p416 (1771)) named Rober tMatt-
ingly as his son-in-law (husband of his daughter Jane). He also ment ions
their daughter, Catherine Mattingly. Robert Cole's will makes it pla inthat
his daughter, Margaret (who married Richard Melton), were dead at th etime
of his will. He bequeathed personalty to the "heirs of my daughter J ane
Mattingly and the heirs of my daughter Margaret Melton, and my four child-
ren which is now living, viz., Henrietta Hayden, Eleanor Cole, Elizab eth
Cole and Mary Cole." He named his three sons-in-law, Robert Mattingl y,
Richard Melton and Basil Hayden, "my true and trusty friends," execut ors
of his estate."

"The following appeared in an obituary published in the Ethan (SD)Enterprise on September 12, 1907:

"Another old settler gone"! "One by one" the old settlers are passingon down the stream of life and time, whose course is variegated with thedifferent colors of life. Thru the fale from which no traveller everreturns, slowly the old people are passing. The last old neighbor toanswer the final summons was Mrs. Bridget Collins Coyne, who died inEthan, South Dakota on September 8, 1907 at 4:10 p.m. surrounded by herchildren, grandchildren and loving friends.
"She was born near Tuam, County of Galway, Ireland, December 25,1837. At the age of 13 she moved to Wolverhampton, Staffordshire,England. At this place she lived till the age of 17 when she was marriedto Michael C. Coyne. They resided at this place being engaged in miningand farming.
"Nine children were born to this union, three of which survive her,Michael J. Coyne and Thomas H. Coyne of this city and John Coyne ofWoodruff, Wisconsin.
"In 1870, the deceased with family moved to St. Louis, MO., where shelived for two years, emigrated to Fort Dodge, Iowa, where she lived forone year, then coming to Lesterville, Yankton County, South Dakota. In1873, the family moved to Hutchinson County and resided on a farm tillabout five years ago, she and her husband then moved to Ethan and livedhere since.
"For the last 20 years Mrs. Coyne has been troubled with cataracts onher eyes and the last two years she has been nearly blind, being able tosee little. Thru all her troubles no word of complaint, no anguishecaped her lips. A friend to everyone she had no enemies and her friendsincluded everybody. Not long before her death the writer in conversationwith her found her quite composed and resigned although sufferingintensely with a wasting disease. Old age combined with liver troublewas the immediate cause of her death. She was a devout member of theRoman Catholic Church, and the last rites of that Church wereadministered to her the day before her death by Father Brones fo the HolyTrinity Church of Ethan. ......."

The following information was received by email on Oct 19, 2001, fromThelma Eidson (1oaktree@@home.com]

"In 1869 Cynthia Sparks took her children from Union County, Georgia,by wagon train to Benton County, Arkansas, along with at least 5 otherfamilies who lived close to her. They all settled in Benton County and,as the years went on, they were intermarried and these 6 families are allin the different branches of the family tree.
"Mattie Belle Mitchell married William Robinson of Benton County,Arkansas and later moved to Oklahoma. They had thirteen children in allwhich included three sets of twins. My father Leroy Robinson was one ofher first set of twins.
"I have a picture of Irena Cynthia Sparks done in about 1870 that Iwould be happy to add to your collection. I would be glad to send ashort article on the Sparks and what happened to them after leavingGeorgia if this is something you would be interested in putting in yourquarterly.."

Note: See the notes for his grandfather John Calvin Sparks about anincident in which Thomas accidentally killed John.

See the SQ pp. 5435-36:

"Thomas Calvin Collins, born in 1888. His nickname was Cally. We havenoted above that when he was 15 years old he accidentally shot hisgrandfather, John Calvin Sparks. Three years later, Cally Collins alsodied a tragic death, as described in the Enquirer published in Yorkville,South Carolina, on February
20, 1906, as follows:

'Rock Hill -- Callie [sic] Collins, the eighteen year oldson of Mr. S. M. Collins of this city, was
crushed to death between two box cars Friday [February 14,1906] afternoon, late. The
accident occurred at Blacksburg. He was a brakeman on theCharleston Division of the
Southern railway and was engaged in making a coupling whenkilled.... The young man was an
exceedingly affable, friendly fellow and was very popularwith his associates.'
