Joseph Alton Mattingly and Agens Celeste Mattingly were 4th cousins with the common ancestor's of Joseph Mattingly and Hessina Hinton. Cynthia J. Thompson was a daughter of William R. Thompson and Mary Florence Medley. I have a couple of Catherine Thompson's but know very little about what happened to either of them. One (probably born about 1910) was a daughter of M. J. Thompson and Catherine Aline Mattingly and a second (born about 1888) was daughter of Richard Clinton Thompson and Julia Walker. I think Bob has a greater amount of info on this line than I do so this exchange is aiding me too. I also agree that Robert is a descendant of Joseph and Hessina.
