MATTINGLY-DRURY-VESSELS I am trying to establish the lineage of BARNARD MATTINGLY (SR) (born unk-died before 1834) of Breckinridge County KY. He was married to ANN (maiden name unknown) who married ELIAS DRURY in Hardin County, KY on 3 Feb 1834 presumably after the death of Barnard Mattingly. Barnard & Ann had at least two children: BERNARD MATTINGLY (born 11 Oct 1826, KY-died 2 Dec 1900, Nashville, TN), my great-great-great grandfather, ELIZABETH MATTINGLY (who married CORNELIUS VESSELS) and possibly IGNATIUS MATTINGLY (born c. 1830) who lived at the home of BERNARD MATTINGLY (JR) in Meade County, KY at the time of the 1850 census. BARNARD MATTINGLY, (SR) is possibly the son of CHARLES BARNARD/BARNET MATTINGLY found in the 1810 & 1820 Breckinridge County KY census. One researcher lists C.B.'s children as: Hannah "Spencer", Milly "De Haven", Susanna "Wheatley", Sarah "Wheatley" and Barnard. Can anyone link this Barnard with my Barnard? BERNARD MATTINGLY (born 11 Oct 1826, KY-died 2 Dec 1900, Nashville, TN) married ELIZABETH DAVIS (born c.1823-died c.1859) at St. Patrick's Chapel, Stithton (now FT Knox), Meade County, KY on 1 April 1845. They are present in the 1850 & 1860 Meade County Census recordings and then BERNARD appears to have moved to LINCOLN County, KY where he appears in the 1870 & 1880 census records. The known children of Bernard & Elizabeth are: Eliza Jane (born 2 June 1846) Robert Thomas (born 3 Oct 1848) Ann Maria (born 11 May 1850 - 30 Jan 1915) Mary Elizabeth (28 April 1852 - 9 Jul 1933, Nashville TN) Martha Louise (born 5 July 1854 - 4 May 1921) Phillip Ignatius (born 1 Dec 1858) Bernard Mattingly later married a woman named Mary Josephine Stephenson (17 Oct 1844 - 4 Mar 19073) and they had the following children: Josephine (26 Jan 1876-18 Feb 1966) Bernard Stephenson (23 Jul 1878-29 Dec 1945) Charles Edward (23 Apr 1881-11 Feb 1975) Peter Drury (Seo 1883-15 Jul 1957) Sara Boone (Mar 1885-14 Aug 1963) Richard Joseph (13 Oct 1887-22 Jun 1912) Robert Mattingly, oldest son of BERNARD MATTINGLY (JR) married a woman named Sarah (born c. 1847) and they had the following children: William Mattingly (born c. 1871) Bernard O. Mattingly (born c. 1873) Beatrice May Mattingly (born c. 1875) Robert W. Mattingly (born c. 1877) MARY ELIZABETH MATTINGLY, daughter of BERNARD MATTINGLY (JR) married my great-great grandfather, DAVID V. KENNEDY in LINCOLN County, KY on 25 Nov 1875 and they had the following children: Phillip Kennedy (born c. 1878) David Joseph Kennedy (21 Mar 1875-4 Mar 1955) Oscar Kennedy (born c. 1887) Elizabeth Kennedy (?) Any information that you might be able to provide on these MATTINGLY's would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chris Kennedy jkenned4@san.rr.com
