This is the first I've seen the name of Ralph's assailant (given he was the innocent party that is). Thanks for posting that. I have Basil married twice; first to Monica Miles (I've seen her named as a Monarch also by a couple of researchers but I have her parents as Phillip Miles and Eleanor Bryan) with 4 children: Austin, Harriett, George Austin, and Martha Ellen. I'm not sure about this first child named Austin. I've left the name in my files hoping to find something to settle the issue, merely because researchers have a wife assigned to him (Mary Bob). Reportedly this Austin went to Mississippi but that nakes me wonder if this Austin might not have been more closely related to Gabriel (son of John B. died 1817) who had several children that settled in Mississippi. Anyway, Monica must have died before 1816 when Basil married Mary B. Hagan. Looking at the 1810 census of Washington County we do find Basil with 2 males under 10 and 2 females under 10 so we know he had the two sons, but did both have the name Austin? I currently presume he did. 1820 finds Basil still in Washington County and this time with males as follows: 2 under 10; 1 age 10 to 16; 1 age 16 to 18; 1 age 18 to 26; and himself over 45. Females: 4 under age 10; 2 age 10 to 16; and wife, Mary B. age 26 to 45. 1830 also in Washington County. This time males are: 2 between 5 and 10; 1 aged 10 to 15; and himself 50 to 60. Females: 1 under age 5; 2 age 5 to 10; 2 age 10 to 15; and Mary B. age 40 to 50. 1840 and this part of Washington is now in Marion County and Basil is dead. Mary B. is on census with males: 1 age 10 to 15; 1 age 15 to 20; 1 age 20 to 30. Females: 1 age 10 to 15; 2 age 15 to 20 and herself aged 40 to 50. This census is also part of my reasoning that Raphael was not a son of Basil's and Mary's. Mary was taking care of her children but she had no child under age 10 at this time. Washington however, did. He is also on the 1840 census with one male under age 10 and one female under age 10. His wife, at the time was aged 20 to 30. The children I have for Basil and Mary B. are: Mahala; Edward Hagan; Henrietta Burrilla; Mary Jane; William B.; Nancy Ann; Isabelle H.; and Henry Clay. All total, I carry 5 sons and 7 daughters and the best I can tell from looking at the census records, this seems accurate. Whether the names, ages, and people they married are correct, well....maybe! **************** What i have is from the Millenial Trumpeter (Maryville,Tn) paper. Ralph Mattingly and Alexander Greene of Georgia were in a fight and Mattingly died Mar.7,1835. ****************

William et al, Hon. Ben Webb in his THE CENTENARY OF CATHOLICITY IN KENTUCKY,1884. p. 46 in the notes he names Austin and George (not George Austin)as sons of Basil Mattingly and Monica Miles, and then states that Austin was in Mississippi at that time.
