There is a John, Jr and Amos Mattingly who are settling the accounts of a John Mattingly, Sr in Frederick County, MD in 1776 (see HEM pg 84). I have been looking for years to find some connection with these Mattinglys and the rest of the MD clan without success. The records that HEM cites list exactly what is in his book (i.e. no further information). I am planning a trip to MD in June to look at some land records in MD hoping that I may find some additional information. I had not thought of John Townley Mattingly as possibly being the one that was settling his father's accounts MD. I suppose that it's a possibility? Has anyone had any opportunities to identify these Mattinglys? My interest in them lie in the possibility that my ancestor, Joseph Mattingly, may be related to them based solely upon Joseph and Hessina having a son named John Amos. Coincidence?

Most of the information I have on John comes by way of Tim Mattingly, a descendant. Townley apparently had eight sons but I know of only seven names. Some of the information I have is different, especially some of the dates of birth which I have based primarily on census records. For example you show the son John, born in 1798 while I have his birth in 1792. The Nancy Lane you show may very well have been a first wife but by 1839 he was married to Nancy Hopper, at least according to everything I have seen. Let me share some of what I have and we can discuss the differences. Descendants of John Townley Mattingly Generation No. 1 1. JOHN TOWNLEY1 MATTINGLY1 was born Abt. 1756 in Maryland, and died Abt. 1830 in Kentucky. He married BARBARA UNKNOWN. Notes for JOHN TOWNLEY MATTINGLY: It is believed, but not proven, that Townley came from Allegany County. Maryland. At this time his parentage has not been determined. The census of 1850 finds Townley's children in Mason County, Kentucky. There is one individual as yet unidentified but almost certainly from this line and that was a Ruth Mattingly, age 17 and residing in the home of John and Nancy Mefford, also in Mason County. A descendant, Tim Mattingly has provided much of the data herein. Further info has been gleaned from census records. Should you be in possession of information regarding the line of John Townley Mattingly, please contact me. He appears as Townley Mattingly on the 1820 census of Mason County, Kentucky, over the age of 45, as was his wife. There were six sons in the home; three between the ages of 18 and 26, and three between ages of 16 and 18. There were two daughters aged 16 to 26. Townley is gone from the census by 1830 and presumed dead. Two of his sons were grown men in 1820, with their own families; Richard and Andrew. That should have been a total of eight sons but only the names of seven are known. Children of JOHN MATTINGLY and BARBARA UNKNOWN are: 2. i. ANDREW MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1782, Pennsylvania; d. Aft. 1850. 3. ii. RICHARD MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1786, Maryland. 4. iii. HENRY MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1788. 5. iv. JOHN MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1792, Maryland; d. December 04, 1854, Kentucky. (On the 1850 census for Mason County, Kentucky. Rev. HEM reported that he was shown as guardian for two children on the census: Berta M. and Steal. My copy of the census does not shown a child named Berta. Other children may have included: Alexander, Nancy, Elizabeth (could be Jennie) and Berta. Death records report that John was aged 66 when he died in 1854. His mother's name was shown as Barbara on this record. Records show that John and Nancy were married in 1839 but the census records show him married by 1830. Court House records include the following: 4-8-1885 - Elizabeth, Amanda, John, Nancy, Susan, Steele L. Mattingly, Deed of Partition, from Nancy Mattingly et al. Deed, Vol. 87, p. 179. 4-8-1885 - Alexander, Margaret, Jane C., William, Richard Mattingly, Deed of Partition from Nancy Mattingly et al. Deed. Vol. 87, p. 179.) v. BARBARA MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1796. 6. vi. FREDERICK M. MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1798, Kentucky; d. Bef. 1860, Kentucky. vii. MARY MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1800. Notes for MARY MATTINGLY: Apparently never married and lived with her brother Frederick in 1850 and with his widow, Miranda, through 1880. 7. viii. JACOB FRANCIS MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1801, Mason County, Kentucky; d. Aft. December 1874, Kentucky. 8. ix. BARTON MATTINGLY, b. Abt. 1804, Kentucky. ==== MATTINGLY Mailing List ==== <Z>WELCOME TO THE MATTINGLY GENEALOGY GROUP<Z> We also have the MattinglyForum-subscribe@egroups.com Your Host Website http://www.wvi.com/~wb Rootsweb Host http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/m/a/MATTINGLY/ To Unsubscribe or contact the List Owner MATTINGLY-admin@rootsweb.com mailto:MATTINGLY-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsubsc ribe mailto:MATTINGLY-D-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsubsc ribe ============================== Gain access to over two billion names including the new Immigration Collection with an Ancestry.com free trial.
