Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe this is Mary Eleanor Hunter and children. I have that she married 9/12/1839 Nelson Co to Thomas Mattingly [c 1790-bef 1850] son of James Mattingly and Mary Swan. Thomas married first to her sister Jemima Hunter. Mary Eleanor Hunter married first to Ignatius Knott 7/25/1826 and I beleive that the Knott children listed in the 1850 census were hers from this marriage.
