1714 (citing St. Mary's Co. Md., Wills, Liber 14, folio 222 (1714)) b yher
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 Wil liam
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 s Ben-
jamin and Thomas and Mary Mattenly. (It is not clear whether or not M ary
Mattenly was a daughter married to a Mattenly, or was the wife of Tho mas
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 . In1735
George Knott rendered the account of Edward Knott, deceased (citing i bidAcc-
ounts, Liber 28, folio 14 (1735)). In 1743 the inventory of George Knott was
recorded (citing ibid Inventories, Liber 28, folio 14 (1735)). It na medPeter
Ford, St., and Peter Ford, Jr., as creditors. Priscilla Knott (the widow who
later married Luke Mattingly) swore to the truth of the inventory. I n1744
Luke Mattingly and Priscilla, his wife, administrators, submitted th eaccount
(citing ibid Accounts, Liber 27, folio 23 (1744) of the estate of Geo rgeKnott,
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 Mattin gly.
Disbursements were made to Ann Knott and Ignatius Mattingly and Thoma sKnott.

See THE MATTINGLY FAMILY IN EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly ,1975, pg 54: "A Bennett Mattingly was married (c. 1785-1790) to JanePower, daughter of Jane Spalding and John Sanders Power (d. 1775).(Citing St. Mary' s Co., MD., Wills, Liber 40, folio 505 (1775)). It waslikely this Bennett, son of Luke. If so, then Jane died sometime before1801, for it was on November 9 , 1801, that Bennett married EloiseSpalding. (Citing St. Mary's Co., MD., Marriage Records, Court House,Leonardtown). She was probably the "Allusha Spalding" named as hisdaughter by Hugh Spalding in his Will of 1799. (Citing St. Mary's Co.,MD., Wills, Liber JJ #2, folio 244 (1799)).

"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 Census ofSt. 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 Father Walton'sDiary. In 1800 the Federal Census listed Bennett in St. Mary's Countywith 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 named inthe Will. His wife was to receive one third part of the personal estate,and Sylvester the remainder. The son also received all that part of hisfather's land called "Howard's Mount" which had been purchased from MaryEdelin. Bennett' s wife received the remaining land for the rest of herlife. Upon her death it was to go to Sylvester. In case of Sylvester'sdeath without lawful issue, the land was to go to Thomas Mattingly, sonof Zachariah Mattingly, brother of Bennett. The widow and Bennett'sfriend, James Cooke, were named executors. Witnesses were WilliamBradburn, Richard Smith and James 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 was presentedin court May 2, 1810, by "Aloisa Mattingly and James Cooke, executors."

"Sylvester, son of Bennett, married Nancy Graves, daughter of JamesR.Graves (citing "Chronicles of St. Mary's County", Aug 1959, p. 37 0).Sylvester died in the Fall of 1871 over 80 years of age. (citing ibid p .361) (Susan Graves married James Wathen and afterwards, ZachariahMattingly.)"

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 know nof 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. Late rThomas
bought "Mt. Misery" and "Mattinglys Hope" in St. Mary's County. Apparently
Cezar had become possessed of all of the Charles County property, fo r wefind
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 s aplanter
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 1 4,1670,
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 n topresume
that John was Cezar's son (Cezar's brother, Thomas II, had no son nam edJohn).
Further, in 1717, John received a warranty of survey (citing Land Records,
Certificate No. 297, Unpatented (1717)). (See Document X) for a 50-ac reparcel
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 tha tthe
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 lik elyto
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 lega lage,
but most likely not 30 years of age. It can be safely concluded tha t the
Thomas Mattingly testifying in Chancery Court at the same time as Cez arwas
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 name dHope.
(Hope was a name in the Cole family of Maryland with whom the Matting lyswere
well acquainted. Cezar's nephew, Thomas Mattingly III, married Rut hCole.)
That Cezar had a daughter named Hope remains mere tradition with no k nown
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 recor ds
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, 1 759,
Clement Mattingly and Robert Thompson were sureties in the amount o f 500
pounds sterling for Ann, Eleanor and Winifred Vanriswick, executors f or
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 am ount
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 W illand
Bond were presented in court June 30, 1773 (citing ibid liber 45, fol io190
(1773)). The inventory of the estate of Thomas Mattingly (given as "Junior")
was appraised by Robert Thompson and Cyrus Vowles. Creditors were Ja mesJordan
(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 swor e to
the truth of the inventory (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Inventorie s,
liber 116, folios 216-218 (1773).
"The Debt Books of St. Mary's County have Clement Mattingly regist ered
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, 1765-176 8.
(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 Matti ngly
were sponsors at the baptism of Sarah McWilliams, daughter of Kelly a nd
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 Bap tist
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. T he
same records show that a Fanny Mattingly married Zachariah Redman, Se p-
tember 7, 1815.)
"Clement Mattingly wrote his will December 12, 1778 (citing St. Ma ry's
County, MD., Wills liber JJ #1, folio 145 (1778)); it was proven Jun e 20,
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 i nSt.
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 h is
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

of a sloop "Pembroke" 30 tons, registered in his name June 25, 1739 .Other
owners were Edward Neal and Raphael Falkner (citing Maryland Historic alMag-

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 grand son,
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 afte rthe
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 Milla rd(who
married her niece, Mary, daughter of her brother, Thomas III), and Jonathan
Spencer were given as creditors in the inventory. Mary Olney and Rob ertR.
Clarke were listed as kindred. James Clark, presumably her son, swor e to
the truth of the inventory November 7, 1732. On February 25, 1735/3 6Thos.
Spalding and Thos. Mattingly were commissioned appraisers of the esta teof
Elizabeth Clark, late of St. Mary's County. (Citing ibid Inventories ,Liber

"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 we reWill-
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 invent oryand
was also given as nearest of kin in the inventory of Benjamin. It mi ghtalso
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,

John Ford. The Register of Maryland's Heraldic Families, 1634-1935 , v.1,

p. 60: "Ignatius, the sixth son of Thomas Mattingly II, was not of a geat
the time of his father's death. Named last in his father's will (cit ingSt.
Mary's Co., Md., Wills, Liber 14, folio 222 (1714)), Ignatius was probably the youngest of the six sons. After the Will of his father directed the disposition of the real estate and some of the personal estate, the residue was divided equally between the widow and Ignatius a ndhis three brothers, Charles, William and Luke, and his sister Ann.
"Records of Ignatius are few. He was paid "for making a coffin" b yPhilip
Key, administrator for William Smith in 1745 (citing ibid Accounts, Liber 21,
folio 220 (1745)). He also recieved a payment from the estate of Joh nKnott
of St. Mary's County, deceased, in 1749 (citing ibid Accounts, Libe r 27,folio 22 (1749)). (A Samuel Mattingly was also named in the ac count.His relationship is not known.) Thomas Knott was the adminis trator.Ignatious Mattingly was listed as owing a debt to the estat e of ThomasKnott in 1750 (citing ibid Inventories, Liber 43, folio 2 87 (1750)). In1758 he was a witness to the will of Richard Cooper ( ibid Wills, Liber30, folio 558 (1758)). In 1773 Thomas Howard in hi s will (citing ibidWills, Liber 39, folio 735 (1773)) mentioned a tr act of land under alease during the life of Ignatius Mattingly.
"Ignatius Mattingly was on the Rent Rolls of St. Mary's County fo rhaving
a 155-acre tract of land known as "Clever" which he had purchased fro mJames
Bond Taylor April 2, 1751 (citing ibid Rent Rolls, Liber 7 & 8, Nos . 1 &2,
folio 86 (1723-1751)). He was also paying taxes on three parcels o fland in
St. Mary's County from 1754-1774 (citing ibid Debt Books, 1754-1774) .These
properties were known as "Clever," "Mattingly's Hope," and "St. John' s."
"Ignatius was a witness to the Will of Richard Cooper in 1758 (se eabove).
In 1769 he and William Fowler were suretys for Jane Reever, administratrix
for Edward Reever (citing ibid Testamentary Procedures, Liber 43, fol io282
(1769)). Together with James Mattingly and Leonard Mattingly, sons o fhis
brother, Thomas Mattingly III, Ignatius received in 1773 from Leonar dWathen,
executor, a payment due from the estate of his deceased brother, Will iam
(d.1771) (citing ibid Accounts, Liber 69, folio 208 (1773)). Court records
show that he was present in court in 1774 (citing ibid Provincial Cou rtJudg-
ments, Liber JG #3, 1767-1778; Liber DD #20, p. 17). He was mentione d inthe
will of Thomas Howard in 1773 (citing ibid Wills, Liber 39, folio 73 5(1773)).
"Ignatius must have been seriously ill when he wrote his will Apri l 2,
1789 (citing ibid Wills, Liber JJ #1, folio 470 (1789)), since he die dsoon
afterwards. The will was proven April 22, 1789. Witnesses were Robe rtSax-
ton, husband of a niece, Ann Mattingly, the daughter of his brother ,William;
and Mary Inge (?). One shilling was left to each of three sons, Leon ard,
Luke and William, and the same amount to two daughters, Elizabeth an dSarah.
The balance of the estate was divided between his son, Ignatius, Jr. ,who was
named executor, and his daughter, Susanna. No wife was named in th ewill.
"It seems that five of Ignatius Mattingly's seven children were am ongthe
early immigrants to Kentucky. No doubt they were already in the Wes t atthe
time of their father's death. This is indicated by the father's bequests of
only one shilling each to Leonard, William, Luke, Elizabeth and Sarah .From
sources on the Kentucky Mattinglys, Susanna also must have gone to Kentucky,
but after her father's death.
"The first organized group of Catholics from Maryland to go to Kentucky
arrived there in 1785 and settled at Pottinger's Creek in Nelson Coun ty.
A Phillip Mattingly was in this group. The second group to go West arrived
in Kentucky early in 1786, and settled at Hardin's Creek, about ten m iles
east of Pottinger's Creek. With this second group were Leonard, Will iam
and Luke Mattingly. Their sisters, Elizabeth and Sarah, must have be en
with them, or followed the next year or so. (Note: It is not here intended
to give extended genealogies of the Kentucky Mattinglys. There ar e anumber
of such studies, and much of what is given here is from them.) [JS: T here

pg 44: "In his will of 1745 (citing St. Mary's Co., Md., Wills, Libe r 24,
folio 95 (1745)) this James Mattingly designated his brothers, Thoma s and
Luke Mattingly, as sole executors of his estate, thereby making plai nthat
he was the son of Thomas Mattingly II (d. 1714) and the grandson of Thomas
Mattingly I (d.1664), the immigrant to Maryland.
"There are few records of the activity of this James Mattingly. A long
with William Knott, he was surity for J and (?) Knott, administrato r ofthe
estate of Francis Knott in 1724. (citing ibid Testamentary Procedure ,Liber
27, folio 38 (1724)). And in 1733 he was named in the will of Jame sKnott,
Planter (citing ibid Wills, Liber 21, folio 10 (1733)).
"In his own will of 1745 James made no mention of his wife. The children
would all appear to have been minors, since none were named executors .Seven
children were named to receive legacies. Two sons, James and Thomas ,received
"all my land" which was divided equally between them. Thomas receive dthe
tract known as "Mattingly's Hope," which James inherited from his fat her,
Thomas II. The son, James, received the dwelling house and that par t ofthe
land on which it stood. This would seem to indicate that James was t heeldest
son.
"All the rest of the personal estate was equally divided between " myother
five children," Ann, Monica (sic), Robert, Peter Sheircliffe, Jr., Pe ter
Ford and Clement Hill. Peter Ford was the brother of Anastasia who i ssupp-
osed to have married Luke Mattingly, brother of James (citing ibid Wi lls,
Liber 22, folio 239 (1735)).
"Rich. Cooper and A. Thompson presented an inventory of the estat e of
James Mattingly May 29, 1745 (citing ibid Inventories, Liber 31, foli o276
(1745)). William Mattingly and Luke Mattingly, brothers of James, we renamed
kindred. Creditors were Henry Bryson and John Toon. Debts were du e tothe
estate by Ignatius Knott, Henrietta Knott, Monica Wimsatt, Henry Shircliffe
and Luke Mattingly.
"In April, 1746, Henry Shercliffe submitted to Court an account (citing
ibid Accounts, Liber 22, folio 175, 293 (1746)) of the estate of Jame sMatt-
ingly with the will attached. Payments had been made by Monica Wimsa ttand
James Walker. Disbursements were reported as made to Peter Ford, Hen ryBryan,
Thomas Pain, Peter Mills and Luke Mattingly.
"An inventory of the estate was proven by Thompson and Cooper Augu st30,
1746 (citing ibid Inventories, Liber 33, folio 94 (1746)). Two day slater,
September 1, 1746, Henry Shircliff, administrator, swore to the trut h ofthe
inventory. It is strange that, eighteen years later, John, son of Ja mes,
brought suit in Court against Henry Shircliff for failing to bring a napprais-
ment of sundry effects belonging to the estate, and for not having submitted
a final account (citing ibid Testamentary Procedures, Liber 40, foli o211, 212,
251, 252 (1764))."

THE MATTINGLY FAMILY IN EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly, 1975 ,p. 36: "James Mattingly was probably the youngest son of ThomasMattingly III and Ruth Cole. He was born c. 1725. He married thedaughter of Ignatius Doyne. This is evident from the Wills of hisfather-in-law, Ignatius Doyne (cite)
and that of his daughter, Dorothy (cite). In her Will written October 6,1774, Dorothy mentions "my grandfather, Ignatius Doyn, deceased." Shemade a bequest "to my beloved sister, Ann Mattingly." Although hersister, Ann, is named executrix, her "uncle Edward Mattingly" was askedto oversee some of the Will's designations. Edward Mattingly, EdwardMattingly, Jr., and Thomas Spalding were witnesses to the Will and provedit on September 2, 1777. "That James had a son, Joseph, is evident fromhis brother Edward' s Will, written 1776/7. (cite) He made a legacy "tomy nephew, Joseph, son of my brother, James, deceased." Edward also madea bequest "to my niece Ann Gardner, sister to said Joseph." It isevident that James died before 1777. "James Mattingly is known,therefore, to have been the father of three children, Joseph, Ann (whomarried John (?) Gardner) and Dorothy. Dorothy died in 1777. We knownothing further of Ann Gardner. There are quite a number of records of aJoseph Mattingly, but nothing to indicate with certainty that any of themwas the son of this James Mattingly."

See The Mattingly Family in Early America, op.cit. p 45: JamesMattingly, eldest son, was surety for James Preston as admin istrator
of the estate of Robert Muckelwain (?) in July 1751. He was on the DebtBooks of St. Mary's County as paying taxes for "Part of Mattingly's Hope"and for "Part of St. John's" from 1754-1769. He was undoubtedly the sameJames Mattingly who, haveing discovered some vacant land, sought aspecial warrant for a resurvey of "Mattingly's Hope" in 1761. The surveywas ordered February 29, 1762. Seven years later James and his brother,Robert , sold "Mattingly's Hope" to James Alvey. These two brothers werenamed kindred when the inventory of their brother John's estate wasrecorded in 1773.

!NOTES:
See The Mattingly Family in Early America, op.cit. p. 46:
John Mattingly was the forth son of James (d.1745). Father Walton 's
Diary gives the record of the marriage of John Mattingly and Ann Ford,
January 30, 1768. the Diary also has the record of the baptism on Ap ril11,
1770, of Joseph Mattingly, son of John and Ann. The sponsors were Jo seph
and Catherine Ford (cousins). A daughter, Elizabeth, was baptized No vem-
ber 2, 1771. The sponsors were Anthony Semmes and Elizabeth Spalding.
Father Walton's Diary further reveals that John and Ann Mattingly were
sponsors at the baptism of Eleanor Saxon, daughter of Robert and Elizabeth.
Some years after his father's death John was active in bringing He nry
Shircliffe, administrator of his father's estate, to Court for not submitting
a final account. Luke Mattingly, John's uncle, and his brother James ,were
summoned to Court in behald of John's petition.
The record of John Mattingly's death in 1773 is found in Father Walton's
Diary. Ann Mattingly signed the administration Bond for her husband's
estate June 22, 1773. Athan, Ford was her surety in the amount of L2 00
sterling. John's estate was appraised July 9, 1773. James Mattingl y and
Robert Mattingly were named as kindred, and Ann Mattingly made oath t othe
truth of the inventory November 5, 1773. John Mattingly's inventor y was
presented in Court December 18, 1773. His widow, Ann, was summoned t oCourt
in 1775 relative to the estate. Again, in 1776, further court actio n was
recorded in the matter.

In THE MATTINGLY FAMILY by Herman E. Mattingly, 1975, on page 207 is arecord taken from the Court House Records at Cumberland, MD, for AlleganyCounty, MD of a marriage between John Mattingly and Onea Arnold onSeptember 11, 1796.

"John Baptist Mattingly was the son of Thomas Mattingly III and, m ost
likely, his second wife, Ruth Cole. John Baptist was born about 171 3 onthe
home plantation, "Mount Misery," in St. Mary's and received deeds o f gift
from his father July 7, 1745. However his father's Will (citing St .Mary's
County, MD., Wills, Liber 40, folio 99 (1774)) made a bequest of "m ylittle
slipe of land called "Mattingly's Lane", my water mill with the smal lparcel
of land adjoining thereto which I have purchased from Thomas Warren ,deceased,
and intended to have given to my son John Baptist Mattingly, but it b eing
omitted in my deed of gift ....and my son Edward Mattingly having sin cebought
and paid his brother John Baptist for the same with my other lands, m ywill
and desire is that my said son Edward and his heirs have and enjoy th eafore-
said Mill and lands forever."
"A number of records give something of the activity of John Baptis tMatt-
ingly. He was one of the creditors for the inventory of the estate o fhis
brother, Thomas, submitted in Court August 4, 1756 (citing St. Mary' sCounty,
MD., Accounts. liber 62, folio 246 (1756). On March 1, 1757/8, he si gned
the inventory of Thomas as next of kin. (citing ibid)
"Sometime before mid-1758 John Baptist Mattingly married Ann Spald ing
Fenwick, widow of Richard Fenwick. She was the mother of four mino rchildren
at the time of her marriage to John Baptist.
"In 1759 Ann Fenwick Mattingly rendered an accounting of her firs thusband's
estate. The value was given as over 353 pounds (citing St. Mary's County, MD.,
Accounts liber 43, folio 95 (1759)). Later that year an additional account
was recorded by John Baptist Mattingly "and Ann, his wife, lately Fenwick..."
They charged themselves with a balance of 167.13.4 3/4, and for tobac copaid
to James Clarke. They swore to the truth of the account May 3, 1759 ."The
orphan's names and ages and securities named in the previous accoun twhich
was then thought a full one." (Note: The previous account was not found.)
(Citing St. Mary's County, MD., Accounts. liber 43, folio 300 (1759)) .What
was apparently the final account was submitted September 13, 1759, b yJohn
Baptist Mattingly and Ann, his wife (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Testa-
mentary Procedures liber 37, folio 298 (1759)). Elizabeth Spalding i nher
Will of March 20, 1760, mentions her "beloved daughter" Ann Mattingl yandpart of the crop due me by John Bpt. Mattingly (citing St. Mary' sCounty, MD.,
Wills, liber 31, folio 1105 (1760)).
"There was a court matter between John Baptist Mattingly, lessee , and
George Graves, tenant, in 1760. No return was made by Graves. Late rappear-
ance was made by Graves and he made his defense (citing St. Mary's County, Md.,
Court Judgments, liber DD #1, folio 212, 330 (1760-1761)).
"John Baptist Mattingly of St. Mary's County was surety for John Baptist
Spalding, executor of Ann Spalding, February 11, 1761 (citing St. Mar y's
County, MD., Testamentary Proceedings, liber 38, folio 98 (1761)). O nthe
same date he was surity for Elizabeth Miles, Executor for John Mile s(citing
Ibid. folio 99 (1761)). Also in 1761 John Baptist Mattingly was summ oned
to Court to testify at the request of John Baptist Spalding against H enry
Spalding (citing Charles County, MD., Testamentary Procedures, libe r 38,
folio 159 (1761)). [end page 24]
"John Baptist Mattingly signed an indenture with Meverell Lock o n May26,
1760, for the conveyance of "Grave's Swamp with Addition," a tract o f156 1/2
acres. Lock had previously bought the parcel from George Graves Jun e 26,
1755. Later, on August 22, 1760, the deed for the tract, now calle d"Grave's
Swamp with Attition with Vacancy," containing 146 1/2 acres, was turn edover
to John Baptist. Four years later, in March 1764, he signed a bond agreeing
to sell the same property to William Thomas. The bond was for 200 po unds
sterling and 34,000 pounds of tobacco. [The article continues with mention
of various land purchases and sales, court matters etc. On page 26 appears:
"...There is no John B. or John Baptist Mattingly in the Marylan dCensus
of 1800. It is presumed that he had gone to Kentucky, where a John Mattingly
was listed in the Census of Washington County that year."
[And on page 27:] "In 1939 Jesse E. White of New York City mad e agenea-
logical study of the John Baptist Mattingly family. He lists a son ,Gabriel,
born June 15, 1777, in Maryland. No documentation is given other tha nthat
descendants of Gabriel in Kentucky asserted that he was the son of Jo hn
Baptist Mattingly. Nothing is known about the rest of the family lis tedin the
1790 Maryland census mentioned above. However, John Baptist's Will written
March 14, 1817, and proven in Washington County, KY., May 12, 1817, reveals
that there were at least two daughters still living at that time. Th ey
were Elizabeth, who had married Elijah Yager, and Eleanor, who had married
James Ryan. Gabriel, the son, married Ann Julette Molohon, a nativ e ofMary-
land, January 25, 1810. (Citing Marriage Records, Court House, Springfield,

pg. 12: "Judith Mattingly Turner. When Walter Pake entered the righ tsfor
fifty acres for each of the immigrant Mattingly family (citing Land Records,
Liber DD, folio 106) (See Document III), the daughter, Judith, was li sted
as Judith Turner. A search of records of the various Turner familie s in
the Province give cause to speculate about Judith's place among them.
"Thomas Turner, who died in 1662 (citing St. Mary's Co., MD, Wills ,Liber
1, folio 167 (1662)) left money to the priest, and money for Mass fo r one
William Johnson (deceased husband of Elizabeth Turner, [Thomas'?] daughter).
Among legacies was a tract of land called "St. Winifred's." Anothe rtract,
"Little St. Thomas," was given to his wife, Emma (Langworth) Turner .Luke
Gardner was the overseer for the Will. Children, besides Elizabeth Turner
Johnson, were Thomas and Mary.
"In 1696 another Thomas Turner, presumably the son of the Thomas w hodied
in 1662, died (citing St. Mary's Co., MD., Wills, Liber 7, folio 27 9(1696)
leaving his wife, Elizabeth, and three children, Thomas, Johua and Monica.
Legacies to the children included the tract, "St. Thomas," to the son ,Thomas;
the tracts "Audley's End" and "Part St. Thomas" to Joshua; and the tr act"St.
Dorothy," to Monica. In 1719 Cezar Mattingly sold "Mattingly's Hope " in
Charles County to Thomas Turner.
"It is interesting to note that in 1720 Thomas Turner is administrator of
the estate of Joshua (citing St. Mary's Co., MD., Accounts, Liber 3 ,folio
234 (1720). It can be speculated that Thomas was the brother of th edeceased
Joshua who died intestate and that he left no wife or children. Also ,that,
if married, his wife may have been Judith Mattingly. Judith's nephe w was
Thomas Mattingly III who died in 1774. We find the children of Thoma sMatt-
ingly III possessing the properties listed in the foregoing records o fthe
Turner family. Thus, of the children of Thomas Mattingly III, Edwar dposs-
essed "Edley's End" and "St. Winifred's"; Clement had "St. Dorothy" a nd
"Part of Great St. Thomas"; Leonard had "Audley's End" and Thomas I V had
"St. Thomas." Since all of the tracts left by Thomas Turner (d. 1696 )and
left to his children, Thomas, Joshua and Monica, are later in the possession
of the children of Thomas Mattingly III (d. 1774), a family connectio nmay
be presumed; and, as already noted, Judith Mattingly Turner was the a untof
Thomas Mattingly III."

"In 1759 Leonard sought a special land warrant for a 20-acre parce lof land
adjoining "Braydon" and "Canada" (citing St. Mary's County, MD., Lan dWarrant,
Liber TI #12, folio 296 (8-16-1759). The parcel was called "Branson's

Dent for John Ethelbert Knott, administrator for Clement Knott (citin gSt.
Mary's County, MD., Testamentary Procedures, liber 38, folio 456 (5-20-1762)).
He was one of three Mattinglys given in a list of names in the Newtow nLedger,

Leod., deceased, viz., Fran, Joseph, Susay, Jane, and Mary." (Josep h of
Leonard was mentioned in the Will of Basil Brook, 1786). There is n owill
of Leonard."

See THE MATTINGLY FAMILY IN EARLY AMERICA by Herman E. Mattingly, 1975,p. 62:

"Leonard Mattingly, oldest son of Ignatius Mattingly, Sr., was born inSt. Mary's County, Maryland, in 1739, according to the inscription on hisKentucky tombstone. About 1760 he married Mary Hayden. A LeonardMattingly was surety on May 20, 1762, for John Ethelbert Knott,administrator for Clement Knott. If not our Leonard, it could have beenhis first cousin, Leonard, son of Thomas Mattingly, III.

Twelve children were born in Maryland to Leonard Mattingly and MaryHayden. They were John, Leonard, Basil, William, Joseph, Ignatius, Jane,Susan, Margaret, Elizabeth, Pollie and Sallie. Some few years afterarrival in Kentucky their mother died. Later, in 1812, Leonard marriedDolly Hardesty (d. 1829). Two daughters are said to have been born ofthis second union, both of whom died in infancy. Leonard died in 1829."

See MARYLANDERS TO KENTUCKY, 1775-1825 by Henry C. Peden, Jr. Family LinePublications, 1991, p. 96:
"William, Leonard, Lucas (Luke), Basil, Zachariah, Richard, Barton,Joseph, and Philip Mattingly were among the early Catholic settlers fromSt. Mary's County, Maryland to move to Kentucky between 1785 and 1791.William Mattingly (followed by brothers Leonard and Lucas) arrived firstwith his wife, Miss Spalding, and three sons, James, Edward, andRichard. His first wife died and he married Elizabeth Clark and had tenchildren: William, Mary, Menjamin, Felix, Ignatius, Jane, Margaret,Susan, and another daughter not stated. Leonard Mattingly, brother ofWilliam, married in Maryland and all of his children were born there:Leonard, Basil, John, William, Joseph, Ignatius, Jane, Margaret, Susanand another daughter not stated. ..... Luke, Leonard and WilliamMattingly were sons of Ignatius Mattingly (who died in 1789) of St.Mary's County, Maryland.

**********

JS Note: On November 24, 1776, a John Mattingly was christened whoseparents are listed as WILLIAM and Mary Mattingly and who was sponsored byBasil Payne, Sr. and his wife Margaret. There is no William Mattinglyincluded in Herman Mattingly's book who was married to a Mary nor whoseage would be appropriate for a son born in 1776. It is felt that thefather of this John Mattingly was Leonard rather than William.

While I have little proof, I believe that Leonard and Mary (Hayden)Mattingly were close friends of Basil and Margaret Payne. Here we findthe Paynes sponsoring the baptism of a child or grandchild of theMattinglys. The Payne's son Basil Jr., married their daughter SarahElizabeth. Notice the names of their children which include a Margaretand a Basil.

They moved to Kentucky in the 1785/91 migration and were residents ofHardin's Creek, Nelson County, Kentucky.

"Luke Mattingly, the son of Thomas Mattingly II (d. 1714), was nam edin
his father's will. (citing St. Mary's Co., Md Wills, L. 14, f.222 (17 14))
After legacies to sons Thomas and James and daughters Elizabeth Clark eand
Judith Parker, his father directed that four thousand pounds of tobac cobe
given to Luke and his brothers Charles, William and Ignatius, and the ir
sister, Ann. These five children, along with their mother, were als odesig-
nated to receive the residue of the estate, equally divided among the m.
Luke's father also stated that he desired all his male children to b e ofage
at 18 years. This would seem to indicate that Luke, as well as his brothers,
was not of age in 1714. His birth, therefore, can be placed at circ a1700.
"It is speculation that sometime before 1735 Luke married Anastasi aFord,
daughter of Robert and Margaret. Her father in his Will (citing St .Mary's
Co., Md, Wills, Liber 22, folio 239 (1735)) written December 27, 1735 ,men-
tioned his daughter Anastasia Mattingly. Other connections with th e Ford
family, and the naming of his daughter Anastasia, seems to confirm Lu ke's
marriage to Anastasia Ford. If this be so, Anastasia died sometime before
1744, since Luke married Priscilla Knott, widow of George Knott, on Novem-
ber 29, 1744 (citing St. Mary's Co., Md., Accounts, Liber 21, folio 1 39,
(1744)). George Knott was still living in 1738 (citing St. Mary's Co .,Md.,
Testementary Procedures, Liber 30, folio 406 (1738)). Luke Mattingl y and
his wife, Priscilla, submitted the account of the estate of her decea sed
husband November 29, 1744. (Citing St. Mary's Co., Md., Accounts, Lib er21,
folio 137 (1744)
"Luke possessed three tracts of land on which he paid taxes. (Citi ngSt.
Mary's Co., Md., Debt Books, 1753-1744) These were "Choice als Hazza rd"
("Choice Part Hazzard"), 1753-1769; "Choice Part Hazzard," 1758-1766 ; and
"Howard's Mount," 1769-1774. In 1783 he petitioned for a survey of thirty-
five acres of vacant land adjoining "Howard's Mount" and also the lan d of
one Shertcliffe. (Citing St. Mary's Co., Md., Land Records, Liber I C #2,
folio 87 (1793) Although the date is the year after his death, Luk ereceiv-
ed a certificate of survey (citing St. Mary's Co., Md. Land Records ,Liber
IC #B, folio 148 (1784)) and a Patent (citing St. Mary's Co., Md., La nd
Records Liber IC #A, folio 320 (1784)) for a tract of forty-two acre sknown
as "Partnership." This tract was among three in the Upper New Town Hundred
for which his son, Bennett, was assessed in 1793-1796.
"In his will (citing St. Mary's Co., Md. Wills, Liber JJ #1, foli o 245
(1783)) written March 7, 1783, Luke named six children. They were Bennett,
Zachariah, Anastasia, Ann, Mary Ford and Elizabeth. He also named Dorothy
Knott "daughter-in-law." She was probably the daughter of his wife ,Pris-
cilla, by her former husband, George Knott. Luke bequeathed all hi s real
estate to his wife (whom he did not name), and ordered that, upon he rdeath,
it was to go to his son Bennett. In turn, Bennett was to pay his brother,
Zachariah, six thousand pounds of tobacco. Bequests were made to hi sdaugh-
ter, Anastasia Spalding, wife of Joseph Spalding; to his daughter, Elizabeth
Spalding, wife of Thomas Spalding; to his daughter, Mary Ford Matting ly;to
his daughter, Ann Wimsatt, wife of Richard Wimsatt, and to his "daughter-in-
law" Dorothy Knott. Witnesses to the Will were John Allen Thomas, Elinore
Miles and Thos. Shircliffe. The Will was proven December 9, 1783, th ewidow
agreeing to stand by the Will as written. The two sons and the wido wwere
executors, and submitted an account in court October 19, 1787. (Citin gSt.
Mary's Co., Md., Accounts, Liber JJ #A, folio 32 (1787). [See Document
XVI, THE MATTINGLY FAMILY OF EARLY AMERICA, for the full will.]
"Priscilla, widow of Luke, died in 1790. Her Will (citing St. Mar y's
Co., Md., Wills, Liber JJ#1, folio 507 (1790)) was written October 23 ,1790.
Benedict Spalding and Elias Smith were witnesses. Executors were he rsons,
Bennett and Zachariah, and her daughter Mary Ford Mattingly. The wil lwas
proven December 14, 1790. In her Will Priscilla named the followin gchildren:
daughters, Jane Thompson (wife of Jesse Thompson) and Sarah Thompso n(wife of
Bennett Thompson), and "my three children" Bennett, Zachariah and Mar yFord.
It is interesting to note that she did not mention Dorothy Knott, no r the
other three children, all of whom were married by 1783; namely, Anast asia
(wife of Joseph Spalding), Elizabeth (wife of Thomas Spalding), and A nn(wife
of Richard Wimsatt)."

For additional remarks see THOMAS JENKINS OF AMERICA 1670 by Edward

"b. 1750; d. ca. 1819; on "Spaldings Comfort"; m. twice and had four-
teen children, two by his first wife, and twelve by his second. His
first wife was Elizabeth Mattingly, daughter of Luke and Priscilla
Mattingly of St. Mary's Co. and sister of Anastasia Mattingly who m.
Joseph Spalding (citing Wills L.J.J. #1, folio 245, St. Mary's County ).
Thomas's second wife was Rebecca Yates." [We believe that Fr. Jenkins
was in error in stating that Thomas spalding had two children by his
first wife Elizabeth Mattingly. We know they had three, namely Willi am
Spalding b. ca 1770, Zachariah b. ca 1772 and Catherine b. ca 1775 who
married Richard Payne.]

Peter Mattingly, third son of James (d.1745) married Catherine Spalding
"at the end of October or the first of November" in 1770, according to
Father Walton's Diary. Father Joseph Mosley, S.J., recorded that Pet er
Mattingly and Margaret Mattingly (presumably wife of his brother, Tho mas)
were sponsors at the baptism of Philip Mattingly, March 11, 1761. Philip's
parents were not recorded. Peter, and his brother Robert, were witne sses
to the Will of Henry Bryan, July 16, 1761. Catherine and Peter Matti ngly
were sponsors at the baptism December 10, 1769, of Mildred, a Negro o fAthan.
The death of Peter Mattingly in 1774 was recorded in Father Walton' sDiary.

!NOTES:
See The Mattingly Family in Early America op.cit. p46:
There are quite a few records of Robert Mattingly, fifth son of Ja mes.
He was named in his father's Will of 1745 to receive personalty. I n1761,
with his brother, Peter, he was a witness to the will of Henry Bryan . In
1762 the two brothers were listed as creditors in the inventory of th eir
brother Thomas, who died in that year. On February 3, 1763, Robert Mattingly
with Peter Ford, Jr., was surety for Eleanor Bryan, widow and executr ixof
her husband, Henry Bryan.
It seems likely that Robert was married twice, first to Jane Cole,
daughter of Robert Cole, who was brother of Ruth Cole, wife of Thoma sMatt-
ingly III (uncle of Robert). Robert Cole, in his Will of 1771 name dRobert
Mattingly as his son-in-law (husband of his daughter, Jane). He als omen-
tioned their daughter, Catherine Mattingly. Robert Cole's will make s it
plain that his daughter, Margaret (who married Richard Melton), was d ead
at the time of his will. He bequeathed personalty to the "heirs of my
daughter, Jane Mattingly and the heirs of my daughter Margaret Melton ,and
my four children which are now living, viz., Henrietta Heyden, Eleano rCole,
Elizabeth Cole and Mary Cole." He named his three sons-in-law Rober tMatt-
ingly, Richard Melton and Basil Hayden, "my true and trusty friends,"
executors of his estate. William Hayden was their surety in the amou ntof
L500 sterling.
Two of the four children listed by Robert Mattingly in his Will o f1776
were baptised by Father Walton, whose Diary has the entry under dat e ofMay
20, 1770 of Gabriel, son of Robert and Frances Mattingly, with Ignati usand
Bibiana Ford as sponsors. On April 22, 1772, Father Walton recorde d the
baptism of Anastasia, daughter of Robert and Frances Mattingly, wit hAnthony
and Mary Semmes as Sponsors. Apparently the other two children name d in
Robert's Will, Charles and Katherine, were the children of his firs twife,
Jane Cole. robert Mattingly and Jane Ford were sponsors at the bapti smof
Joseph Ford, son of Robert and Sarah.
Robert Mattingly wrote his Will June 22, 1776. It was proven December 14,
1776. Although he did not name his wife, it is evident that she wa sstill
living. After his just debts were paid, he ordered that the residu e ofhis
estate be divided "between my two children Gabriel and Anastasia Mattingly,
my wife to have her third part." Further, robert bequeathed "my tw ochildren
Charles and Katherine Mattingly to my good friends Richard Melton an dBazill
Haydon, to be brought up." The Will, therefore, seems to indicat e adiffer-
ence between the two children, Gabriel and Anastasia, and the other t wo,
Charles and Katherine.
Bazill Haydon was named executor of the estate of Robert Mattingly .Philip
Ford and Leonard Booth were witnesses of the Will. Philip Ford and J ohn
Baptist Thompson were sureties for Bazill Hayden, executor. The inventory
was presented in Court March 20, 1777. Bazill Hayden presented the account
of Robert Mattingly according to the minutes and Proceedings of Orpha n's
Court, St. Mary's County, Md., 1777-1801, pp. 1 and 2. Sundry maso ntools
were included in the inventory presented by "Bazel Haydon" February 1 4,1777.
Appraisors were Joseph Wathen and Joshua Graves. Creditors were Georg eBooth
and R. Melton, Jr. Kindred were given as James Mattingly and Luke Mattingly.
It is possible that Robert's second wife was Frances Ford. John Ford, in
his will of 1782, mentioned Gabriel Mattingly and Anastasia Mattingl y ashis
nephew and niece. Gabriel Mattingly was on the Maryland assessment l ists
for 1796. The Census of 1800 gives both Charles and Gabriel in Princ eGeorge
County, Maryland.
Gabriel Mattingly married December 20, 1794, Eleanor Leigh. His brother,
Charles, married November 22, 1799, Ann Hazle. Although Peter and Ro bert
were dead by 1794, there was a Peter Mattingly and a Robert Mattingl ythat
year among the Easter Communicants at St. Inigoe's according to Fathe rWalton's
list. There was also a Monica Mattingly listed. A Robert Mattingl y took
the oath of Allegiance in 1778."

"Ruth, the youngest of the Clement Mattingly children, was born Ju ne23,
1749. She married Joseph Stone. To them were born three children, Joseph,
John and Elizabeth. This is evident from the Will of their father (S t.Mary's
County, MD., Wills Liber JJ #1, folio 542 (3-16-1790; 7-28-1791)) wh odied
in 1791. The mother died later in 1800, and does not mention John an dEliz-
abeth as children in her will (St. Mary's County, MD., Wills Liber J J #2,
folio 247 (1-24-1800; 1-28-1800)). They may have died by 1800. Nevertheless,
the mother wrote in her Will that in the case of the death of her so nJoseph,
her estate was to go to her nieces and nephews: Ann McWilliams, Clar e Mc
Williams and Elizabeth McWilliams, children of her sister, Elizabeth ;Mary
Jackson, Ann McWilliams and Catherine McWilliams, children of her sis ter,
Mary, and likewise Ann Mattingly, Elizabeth Maria Cecil (daughter o fEliza-
beth Mattingly, deceased, who married Joseph Riswick). Ruth's son, Joseph,
was to continue in college until twenty-one years of age, the expens e tobe
paid out of the estate. Joseph became a physician."

FHL985186 Genealogical Cards: These cards are not authority but acard on Basil Payne Jr. reveals that he was married (1st) to ElizabethMattingly and (2nd) to Polly Mattingly (niece of Elizabeth Mattingly).Elizabeth was born in 1774 in St. Mary's Co., MD., and died in MarionCounty, KY. They had several children of which two are named CharlesHenry Payne aka Harry, and William Payne. Polly Mattingly was thedaughter of John Mattingly and Mary (Polly) Fenwick. They apparently hadno issue.

Pg. 9: "The date of arrival in America of the First Mattingly famil y is
not exactely known. A search of passenger lists of all ships comin g tothe
colonies during the early years reveals no Mattinglys. This might b e ex-
pected, since to leave England at this time it was required that al l sub-
scribe to the oath of supremacy of the King. In that country itsel f such
a requirement had already produced many martyrs. And those seeking liberty

"At any rate, the first Mattingly family is found in Maryland in 1664. In
the family were the father and mother, Thomas and Elizabeth Mattingly ,and
four children: two sons, Thomas and Cezar, and two daughters, Judit y(who is
given as Judith Turner) and Elizabeth.
"The head of the little family died early in 1664 without makin g awill.
The widow, Elizabeth, was given letters of administration (citing St .Mary's

an Executor's Bond July 24, 1664 (citing St. Mary's Co., MD., Testamentary

was presented for recording July 29, 1664 (citing same Liber folio 11 6{see

"The inventory indicates that the family did not have much of thi sworld's
goods. A cow, a calf, and a heifer make up the livestock possessed . Astill
