Joe, when and where was this guy studied last September, on the Mattingly list?? This sure seems to fit and would fill on of the missing slots in the 1840 Nelson Co, KY listing for George Mattingly. Because Elizabeth Ann is married in Nelson Co in 1849, she is not on the 1850 Nelson Co, KY census with her father but in the 1850 Nelson Co, KY census with her husband William R Gates age 28, Elizabeth age 17. George's family is in the 1860 Daviess Co, KY census but the Gates family is still in Nelson Co. in 1860, William R Gates age 38, Elizabeth A age 28, Thomas M age 9, George E age 7, Eliza age 6, John age 5, Truman age 3, Susan E age 2, William age 6/12. I found William Gates and family in the 1870 Nelson Co, KY census.
