Ralph and all, I have this George as having married Ann Nancy Johnson. I currently carry him as George Austin and being in Daviess Co., Ky. during the 1850 census but dying in Daviess County, Indiana. This is the one whose nickname was reported as being "Big George". I know some researchers carry two men, one George and one Austin but I think they're the same man. I have some difficulties with the off-spring of George. I believe he only had the one son named Augustine but he must have went by Austin also (appears that way on some records). I currently carry both men as sons of George but only so I can try to delete one of the wives. For instance, I show Augustine as marrying a Catherine Johnson and Austin as marrying Ann Elizabeth Bartlett. The same man likely married both women but I haven't been able to verify that yet. ****************** I have a George Mattingly, b. 1803, Washington County, Kentucky; d. 1885, Daviess County, Kentucky; son of Basil (1772-1835), son of Leonard (1739-1829). Is this any kind of a clue?
