From what I have seen, this Phillip Mattingly was sponsored at his baptistism by Peter Mattingly, son of James (d. 1745). There is no indication who his parents were. As Peter was his sponsor, it is unlikely that he was Peter's son. The fact that his baptist is recorded but that his parents' names are not, makes me think that he may have been an orphan of one ot Peter's brothers His brother Thomas died in 1762 and left a widow Margaret Mattingly who is also named as a sponsor of Phillip's baptism. There is some indication that Peter did have a son named Joseph and one named Ignatius. Interestingly, a Joseph (according to Rev Webb's Catholicity of KY) was also with Phillip at Pottinger's Creek in 1785. There are later documents that show that this Joseph may have been the one to marry Henrietta Taylor (and she may have been a Boone, widow of ____ Taylor). There is later records of a John B Mattingly also being at Pottinger's Creek. I agree with William, in that there is no evidence to substantiate that this Phillip was the Phillip born in 1761. However, in view of the fact that we don't come across the name Phillip again except for the grandson of Ignatius Mattingly (father of the 3 Mattinglys that came to KY), son of Zachariah Mattingly (and this Phillip had apparently died by 1823 in MD), there is good reason to believe that he may have been one in the same. There was a Thomas and Phillip Mattingly that enlisted in the Rev Army in 1778. The above Phillip would have been 17 at the time and could qualify. Who the Thomas Mattingly is with him, I don't know.
