I had a copy of the transcription of the November 1784 court proceedings of AAC pulled regarding Clement Mattingly's estate vs Eden and Court. Unfortunately, HEM gave the wrong reference and sent me on a wild goose chase but I was able to find the correct book. In the November court there are a number of proceedings of Thomas Eden and Christopher Court, merchants of Middlesex County, England against various people of AAC. One is against the estate of Clement Mattingly. This Clement Mattingly is the one that married Ann Burton Coyle and who died apparently before 1784. Unfortunately, the court proceedings do not give any indication of the relationship of Clement but it does name Thomas McWilliams, Ann Mattingly & Joseph Stone and wife, as executors of Clement Mattingly. So, I still need further documentation but it would seem to indicate that perhaps Clement immigrated to America from England (since he still had dealings with merchants in Middlesex County, England). It may be presumptive, but it also seems to indicate that Clement did not have male heirs. Perhaps he had a daughter who married Joseph Stone? Thomas McWilliams? Paul Mattingly Atlanta, GA
