I see there is a lot of discussion about Luke Mattingly & his son Barton, who are my 3rd & 4th great-grandfathers through Barton's son Benedict Joseph. My records show the following family information: 7 Aug 1804 - Luke Mattingly m. Betha (Elizabeth?)Cambron, a widow, in Washington Co., KY. Surety: John Flanagan made oath that the bride was over 21. Previously on 4 Apr 1796 - John Flanagan m. Eliza Mattingly (Luke's sister or relative?) Wit: Lenard & Ann Matingly; Washington Co., KY. I don't have proof on this, but it appears that Luke first married a Spalding who was Jeremiah's mother. He then married Eleanor "Nelly" Thompson in 1772. Son, Joseph was born in 1773 and Barton in 1776. 5 Oct 1804 - There was an obligation of an intended marriage between Barton Mattingly and Polly Cambron. Ignatius Cambron made oath that bride and groom were both over 21. It was signed by Ignatius Cambron and Barton Mattingly. 8 Oct 1804 - Barton Mattingly was married to Polly Cambron, by S.T. Badin, on Minister's return. 1 Jan 1819 - Barton Mattingly m. Elizabeth Cambron in Tell City, Perry Co., IN. in a civil ceremony. After arriving in Perry Co., MO., Barton and Elizabeth were married in a religious ceremony in the Catholic Church. Wit: Benedict (Benjamin?)Cambron and Thomas Layton. Possibly the reason Nelly Cambron was listed as Barton's mother in the recording of the church ceremony is because his biological mother was Nelly while his step-mother was a Cambron. I can see how someone, who did not know the family well, could have got the names confused; especially if the information was not recorded immediately. Barton's name was Bartholomew and Polly's was Mary. The name Cambron has been spelled every-which-a-way. As far as Elizabeth's father's name appearing to be Zoë or Soe Cambron, O'Rourke wasn't sure. Could it be Thos.? I have seen the entry and I cannot be sure. However, when Elizabeth married again after Barton's death, her parents were listed as Thomas Cambron and Anna Ausban (a variation of Osborn?). I welcome any corrections and additions to the above. Who was the Eliza Mattingly that married John Flanagan? Loretta
