Paul: Nearly 2 years ago after the Kentucky-Maryland Reunion, there was a lot of discussion regarding the early, 1783, residents of Washington County, MD. There, at the same time, were quite a few Mattinglys that included Richard, Sr., Richard Jr., Joseph, Barnet, Joseph, and Barton, plus the HIntons. Richard, Jr and Joseph both married Hinton daughters: Eleanor and Hessina, so some of us decided that we could make a family with Richard, Sr the father and Richard, Jr.; Barnet, Joseph, and Barnet the children. And, through it all, I don't believe that anyone mentioned that Msgr HEM's book Mattingly Family in Early America was the first one to point out this group of Mattinglys on the same county tax roll. This might give you something to work on. Richard JRs son, John, married Sarah Wheatley daughter of Leonard Wheatly - probably too remote to have a bearing.
