Judith, Most show William, James and Edward children of Wm. as moving to Mo. Not likely to have two because this William didn't die until 1844.

CATHOLIC FAMILIES OF SOUTHERN MARYLAND, T.J. O'Rourke, p. 102. I don't know who this William and James Mattingly are.

In his will he states: "Item my two children from my wife Nancy Mattingly I leave them five shillings each of them." This seems to indicate that he had ONLY two children from his wife Nancy. Now we know that he had a passel of children from his wife Elizabeth Clark, who some call Nancy Elizabeth, though the marriage record from CD #229, the only source I have on this marriage to date, states Elizabeth Clark only. So he does not sound like he is talking about Nancy Elizabeth. > > 2. His will is witnessed by James Vessels, and Benjamin Vessels is brother of one James Vessels and the son of another James Vessels, and the father of Bridget Anna Vessels who married the mysterious William Mattingly b. abt 1813-1814. > > 3. Green County, Kentucky is right next door to Washington County in 1817, before Marion County was formed, and a William Mattingly married Nancy Murry in Green County, KY April 1, 1813. (Spelled: Murry, not Murray) > > Putting all this together, do you think that William Mattingly who died in 1817, married for the third time to Nancy Murry in Green County had two children he wasn't especially proud of, because they had mixed ancestry of Indian blood, one of which was William Mattingly who married Bridget Anna Vessels in 1837. The family tradition is that the mother of William Mattingly b. abt 1813-1814 was full blooded Indian. Could the spelling of the name Murry indicate Indian ancestry? > > Tell me what you think.
