"Having mentioned my half-brother, Oscar E. Mathes, I wish to saysomething about him. His father was
Elbert W. Mathes and was my mother's first husband. Oscar was born onMarch 13, 1896, in Haviland,
Kiowa County, Kansas; he died on October 12, 1933, in Kinsley, Kansas,when he was 37 years old.
Oscar made his home part of the time with his mother and part of thetime with Grandfather Minton.
When a young man, he worked at the Electric Light Plant in Kinsleyduring the day, and at night he would
work as chief operator at the local theater. He worked many hours withlittle rest. In his spare time, he
worked on motorcycles in his shop, sometimes with the door closed. Intime the fumes affected his
lungs, and he developed T.B. of the bones as well as the lungs. He wasparalyzed in the last three years
of his life. My mother took care of him, and so did I. He died at mymother's home on October 12, 1933.
He never complained about anything, and always had a smile foreveryone. He never married. He was
buried at the foot of the grave of Grandfather Minton in HillsideCemetery in Kinsley, Kansas."

1714 (citing St. Mary's Co. Md., Wills, Liber 14, folio 222 (1714)) by her
father, Thomas Mattingly II. It is believed that she married Willia mKnott.
"On July 7, 1741, Ann Knott, executrix of William Knott, submitte d anacc-
ount of his estate (citing ibid Accounts, Liber 18, folio 273 (1741)). The
account mentioned one bushel of Indian corn due from Luke Mattingly (brother
of Ann), and 500 pounds of tobacco paid to Luke Mattingly. Ann's sureties
were Thomas Mattingly, Sr., her brother, and George Knott, both of St. Mary's
County.
"A William Knott wrote his will (citing ibid Wills, Liber 21, foli o137
(1737)) January 30, 1737. It was proven March 7, 1737. But this William
Knott did not mention his wife (if she was Ann Mattingly). He name ddaugh-
ters Monekey (Monica?), Henareter (Henrietta?), and Wennefort (Winifred?).
He also listed one John Braffield, and bequeathed personalty to son sBen-
jamin and Thomas and Mary Mattenly. (It is not clear whether or not Mary
Mattenly was a daughter married to a Mattenly, or was the wife of Thomas
Knott. It is likely that she was a niece of his widow (Ann Mattingly) and
daughter of Thomas Mattingly III. If so, she later married Richard Millard.
"Other Knott and Mattingly family connections are found. In 1733 ,James
Knott, Planter, in his will (citing ibid Wills, Liber 21, folio 10, December
31, 1733; March 6, 1734)) mentioned a debt due from James Mattingly .In 1735
George Knott rendered the account of Edward Knott, deceased (citing ibid Acc-
ounts, Liber 28, folio 14 (1735)). In 1743 the inventory of George Knott was
recorded (citing ibid Inventories, Liber 28, folio 14 (1735)). It named Peter
Ford, St., and Peter Ford, Jr., as creditors. Priscilla Knott (the widow who
later married Luke Mattingly) swore to the truth of the inventory. In 1744
Luke Mattingly and Priscilla, his wife, administrators, submitted th eaccount
(citing ibid Accounts, Liber 27, folio 23 (1744) of the estate of George Knott,
deceased.
"In 1749 a William Knott submitted, as administrator, the accoun t ofthe
estate of John Knott (citing ibid Accounts, Liber 27, folio 23 (1749)). He
listed payments made to the estate by William Knott and Samuel Mattingly.
Disbursements were made to Ann Knott and Ignatius Mattingly and Thomas Knott.

"Bennett took the Oath of Allegiance to Maryland in 1778 before JohnIreland in St. Mary's County. He was on the assessment books from1793-1796 for three tracts of land, "Howard's Mount" (115 acres);"Partnership" (47 acres); and "Part Howard's Mount" (75 acres). Theseparcels of land were in the Upper
New Town Hundred. A Bennett Mattingly was listed in the 1790 Censusof St. Mary's County with one male over 16 years; three females in thefamily, and 12 slaves. There were two Bennett Mattinglys among theEaster Communicants at St. Inigoes in 1792 according to FatherWalton's Diary. In 1800 the Federal Census listed Bennett in St.Mary's County with three in the family and three slaves.
"Bennett Mattingly died in 1807. His Will (citing St. Mary's Co. ,MD., Wills, Liber JJ #3, folio 177 (1807)) gives evidence of his deepreligious faith. His wife, Eloise, and his son Sylvester, were namedin the Will. His wife was to receive one third part of the personalestate, and Sylvester the remainder. The son also received all thatpart of his father's land called "Howard's Mount" which had beenpurchased from Mary Edelin. Bennett' s wife received the remainingland for the rest of her life.

The widow and Bennett's friend, James Cooke, werenamed executors. Witnesses were William Bradburn, Richard Smith andJames Hayden.
The Will was proven June 9, 1807. The account (citing St. Mary's Co .MD., Accounts, Liber JJ #A, folio 317 (1810)) of the estate waspresented in court May 2, 1810, by "Aloisa Mattingly and James Cooke,executors."

pg 15: "Cezar Mattingly, the second of the two sons of the immigran tThomas
Mattingly (d. 1664), left no will and little of any certainty is known of his
family. (His name is first spelled Cezar; later as Cesar and Caesar.) As
noted previously the first tract of land due the Mattingly family wa spatent-
ed in Charles County in 1666 to the two boys, Thomas and Cezar. Later Thomas
bought "Mt. Misery" and "Mattinglys Hope" in St. Mary's County. Apparently
Cezar had become possessed of all of the Charles County property, fo rwe find
him selling it in 1719 to Thomas Turner (citing Charles County, MD. ,Deeds,
Liber H #2, folio 326 (1719)). His brother, Thomas, had died by thi stime.
In the record of sale of the Charles County parcel Cezar is given a sa planter
of St. Mary's County.
"As early as 1705 Cezar was in possession of a 150 acre tract of l andin
St. Mary's County known as "The Thames" in St. Clement's Hundred. Earliest
Rent Rolls available give the tract as originally surveyed November 14, 1670,
for Patrick Salmon (citing St. Mary's Co., MD., Rent Rolls, Liber 7 ,folio 43
(1639-1751)). Cezar Mattingly is named possessor in 1705. The nex tRent Roll
entry for the tract gives John Mattingly as possessor, giving reaso nto presume
that John was Cezar's son (Cezar's brother, Thomas II, had no son named John).
Further, in 1717, John received a warranty of survey (citing Land Records,
Certificate No. 297, Unpatented (1717)). (See Document X) for a 50-acre parcel
in St. Mary's County known as "Mattingly's Addition." The document indicates
that the tract adjoins "Thems" which is "now in possession of said Mattingly."
"Another record of Cezar is in a Chancery Court deposition in 171 8(citing
Chancery Records, #3, PL, folio 467 (1718)) in which he testified that the
tract "St. Lawrence" was near Mr. Turner's. The record gives Cezar' sage as
64 years. He was, therefore, born in 1654, and was nine years of ag eupon
arrival in Maryland.
"Testifying in Court at the same timej (1718) was Thomas Mattingl ywho was
given as 30 years of age (citing Chancery Records, #3, PL, folio 46 6(1718).
This Thomas was not Cezar's brother who died in 1714. Nor was he likely to
be Cezar's nephew, Thomas III, whose father was concerned in his Wil labout
the legal age of his children. True, Thomas III was probably of legal age,
but most likely not 30 years of age. It can be safely concluded tha tthe
Thomas Mattingly testifying in Chancery Court at the same time as Cezar was
no other than his own son.
"There is, therefore, good reason to believe that Cezar had two so ns,
Thomas and John. There seems a tradition that he had a daughter named Hope.
(Hope was a name in the Cole family of Maryland with whom the Mattinglys were
well acquainted. Cezar's nephew, Thomas Mattingly III, married Rut hCole.)
That Cezar had a daughter named Hope remains mere tradition with no known
record to verify it."

"Clement Mattingly was the third son of Thomas III and, most likel y,
his second wife, Ruth Cole. There are numerous records of a Clemen tMatt-
ingly, and they would seem to indicate that there were two Clements ,one
in St. Mary's County, and the other in Ann Arundel County. The records
following are grouped with this in mind.
"The Clement Mattingly of St. Mary's County was definitely the so n of
Thomas Mattingly III. Records in that county show that on March 6, 1759,
Clement Mattingly and Robert Thompson were sureties in the amount o f500
pounds sterling for Ann, Eleanor and Winifred Vanriswick, executors for
Ann Vanriswick. The proceedings were exhibited in St. Mary's Count yCourt,
May 10, 1759 (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Testamentary Procedures ,liber
37, folio 262). On September 20, 1773, Clement signed bond in the amount
of 500 pounds sterling as executor of the estate of his son Thomas .Clement's
brother, Edward, and Thos. McWilliams were his sureties. His son's Will and
Bond were presented in court June 30, 1773 (citing ibid liber 45, folio 190
(1773)). The inventory of the estate of Thomas Mattingly (given as "Junior")
was appraised by Robert Thompson and Cyrus Vowles. Creditors were James Jordan
(for John Glassford Co.) and Catherine Jernigham. The value of the estate
was reported as 274.5.10. On March 20, 1773/4 Clement Mattingly swore to
the truth of the inventory (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Inventories,
liber 116, folios 216-218 (1773).
"The Debt Books of St. Mary's County have Clement Mattingly registered
for "Part Vowles Purchase" from 1754 to 1774, and "Part St. Dorothy "from
1767 to 1774. (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Debt Books, 1754-1774).
"In 1760 Clement Mattingly was among a number of Maryland citizen scon-
tributing to the aid of victims of a fire in the city of Boston. (Calendar
of Maryland State Papers, The Black Books, v. 3, St. Mary's County (1020),
p. 149.) HIs name also was in a list in the Newtown Ledger, 1765-1768.
(citing Edwin W. Beitzell, "Jesuit Missions of St. Mary's County," p.86.
"Father Walton's Diary has an entry in which Clement and Ann Mattingly
were sponsors at the baptism of Sarah McWilliams, daughter of Kelly and
his wife, in 1776. Father Walton also recorded the death of Clemen tMatt-
ingly in 1780.
"Records at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, St. Mary's County, Maryland,
1744-1816, Part V give the dates of birth of the children of Clemen tMatt-
ingly. His wife is not given. Elizabeth was the oldest, born June 7, 1736;
Thomas, born March 28, 1738; Mary Ann, born October 6, 1741; John Baptist
born January 28, 1745; Anna born May 6, 1747, and Ruth, born June 23 ,1749.
(The same records reveal that a Robert Mattingly married Mary An nMatt-
ingly and they were the parents of Catherine, born March 28, 1778. The
same records show that a Fanny Mattingly married Zachariah Redman, Sep-
tember 7, 1815.)
"Clement Mattingly wrote his will December 12, 1778 (citing St. Mary's
County, MD., Wills liber JJ #1, folio 145 (1778)); it was proven Jun e20,
1780. It was witnessed by Philip Ford, Robert Thompson and Charles Thomp-

will of his grandfather, Thomas Warren in 1744. (citing St. Mary's County, MD.,
Wills, liber 24, folio 164, 1744) In that Will Thomas Warren named Edward and
Leonard as grandsons, heirs of his daughter, Elizabeth Mattingly.
"(Note: There are many records of an Edward Mattingly. It is possible
that there were two Edward Mattinglys during these early years, one in St.
Mary's County, the other in Baltimore and Ann Arundel County. The records
are given here as of one Edward Mattingly.)
"It seems that Edward was never married, but was quite active in r eal
estate, and a number of other records indicate his popularity among his
relatives and frients.
"Edward Mattingly was given as Master of a sloop, "James," 35 tons ,when
it was registered for Patrick Creagh, owner, May 10, 1737 (citing Maryland

p. 67: "Little is known about Elizabeth Mattingly, one of the thre edaughters
of Thomas Mattingly II (d. 1714), except that she married Benjamin Clark,
and had a son, James.
"In his Will of 1714, Thomas Mattingly II bequeathed to Elizabet h "asheep
or ewe for her part of moveables." He also left "to my beloved grandson,
James Clark, his heirs and assigns forever the plantation whereon hi sfather
now dwells, to contain seventy acres, on the west side of my dwellin gPlan-
tation, it being part of the same, and their wish to be invested after the
decease of his father and mother." (citing St. Mary's Co., Md., Wills, Liber
14, folio 222 (1714)).
It is presumed that Elizabeth's husband was one Benjamin Clark, no tthe
one for whom her sister and brother-in-law, Judith and Robert Parker ,were
administrators and who died in 1709. Elizabeth died in 1732. An inventory
of her estate was taken June 26, 1732, by Richard Cooper and Thomas Shirtlef
(citing ibid Inventories, Liber 16, folio 653 (1732)). Richard Millard (who
married her niece, Mary, daughter of her brother, Thomas III), and Jonathan
Spencer were given as creditors in the inventory. Mary Olney and Robert R.
Clarke were listed as kindred. James Clark, presumably her son, swore to
the truth of the inventory November 7, 1732. On February 25, 1735/3 6Thos.
Spalding and Thos. Mattingly were commissioned appraisers of the estate of
Elizabeth Clark, late of St. Mary's County. (Citing ibid Inventories ,Liber
21, folio 286 (1735)).
"An inventory of the estate of Benjamin Clark, late of St. Mary' sCounty,
was submitted to the Court by Richard Millard and John Knott, appraisers, on
August 6, 1733. Nearest of kin were given as James Clarke and Ann Clarke,
indicating that Elizabeth may have had a daughter, Ann. Creditors were Will-
iam Joseph and Mary Clarke, Jr. Money was owed the estate by Mathe wGuybert
and Luke Gardiner. "From these records it seems probable that Elizabeth was married to this
Benjamin Clarke, and that her son was the James who proved her inventory and
was also given as nearest of kin in the inventory of Benjamin. It might also
be concluded that Ann Clarke was a daughter, named after Elizabeth' ssister,
Ann Mattingly."

"Elizabeth must have married again after the death of her first husband,
since her brother Edward, mentions in his will his niece "Ann Spalding,
daughter of my sister Elizabeth Ford." Elizabeth is though to have married
John Ford. The Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, 1634-1935 ,v. 1,
