There's been some discussion about Barton Mattingly son of Luke and I thought this might interest some. It seems to be the citation that has been used to initiate the discussion. Judith MARYLAND CATHOLICS ON THE FRONTIER, The Missouri and Texas Settlements, Timothy J. O'Rourke, 1973-1993, Brefney Press. Obtained from Jack O'Rourke, father of deceased Timothy J. O'Rourke.p. 171 "MATTINGLY FAMILY: A very large number of descendants of the Mattingly family will be found in the Manning section. The particular branch in this section descends from Barton Mattingly (who occasionally appears in records as Bartholomew). The parish records of The Barrens indicate that Barton Mattingly and Elizabeth Cambron, married civilly ca 1819, were married in a religious ceremony in 1824 by Rev. John Odin. The record was quite garbled but it appeared to say that Barton was the son of Luke Mattingly and Nelly Cambron, while his wife was the daughter of Soe (Zoe?) Cambron. The spelling Cambren was used. Most likely Barton Mattingly's parents were the Luke Mattingly and Eleanor Thompson who were married at St. Inigoes parish, St. Mary's co., Md., 11 Feb 1772, the record there stating that Luke and Eleanor were related in the second degree (first cousins) Barton Mattingly was born ca 1776. In May 1833 he was appointed road commissioner of Perry co., Mo. He died in 1833 and was buried (as Bartholomew) on 31 Oct ae 57. His estate was administrated in Perry county (#93) under the name Barton Mattingly, with William Taylor as administrator. The widow Elizabeth survived. Heirs were Mary, Benedict, John, Austin, Matthew, Elizabeth, Ann Robertson, and Ann Vessel (ls). Final settlement was made 6 May 1837. Luke Mattingly, the father of Barton, was the recipient of a Spanish land grant, but assigned it to Clement Hayden. Whether Luke Mattingly returned to Kentucky is not known." -------------- Transcribed from the above cited book, p. 171 by Judith A. Burger March 19, 2004. I took the liberty of dividing the data into paragraphs as it was in one long statement and hard to read and follow. I made no other correction of any kind. NOTE: Both O'Rourke's "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" p. 34, and Beitzell's "The Jesuit Missions of St. Mary's County, Maryland" p. 144 state the marriage of Luke Mattingly to Eleanor Thompson occurred at St. Francis Xavier, not at St. Inigoes. That may be a help in identifying this particular Luke Mattingly, as William, Ignatius, Luke and Leonard Mattingly were all members of St. Inigoes parish in 1794. See: THE JESUIT MISSIONS OF ST. MARY'S COUNTY, MARYLAND, Edwin W. Beitzell, Reprinted 1998, St. Mary's County Historical Society, Leonardtown, Maryland pp. 98-99. ================================================================
