I have two George Mattingly's in my data file that I am beginning to think might be one and the same. In Washington Co, KY on June 5, 1815, George Mattingly married Elizabeth Buckman, dau of Charles Buckman and Jane Dunbar. In Sister Donnelly's Buckman book she states that according to census records, they had 6 children, 4 sons and 2 daughters, only a son named Richard b. 1830 and baptized at St Charles Catholic Church in St Mary's. KY is named, the rest are unknown. This agrees with the 1820 and 1830 Washington Co, KY census which I am sure is her main source. But in 1840, there is no George in Washington but a very similar George is in Nelson Co, KY and has a younger wife, probably Catherine Miles. They are in the 1840 and 1850 Nelson Co, KY census and then the family is found in Daviess co, KY in 1860 minus George who has died on July 31, 1859 per William R Mattingly's recent e-mail information. Some of these children got dropped off along the way either in Washington, Nelson or Daviess Co but that is for another time. Not sure what happened to all these children but we have plenty of unresolved Mattingly's to accomodate these few. I'm still not sure who was the father of George Mattingly. Below are two sets of data, the first is the census listings from 1820 to 1860. The second is my Geroge Mattingly chart assuming that he marrried first Elizabeth Buckman per Washington Co, KY marriage records and secondly Catherine Miles per Nelson Co, KY marriage records.
