Does anyone know if the will of Edward Mattingly (d. 1778 son of Thomas III) that HEM published in his book is complete? I have heard that he names a nephew, Thomas, in his will but its not in the will that HEM published. Does anyone have the fully transcribed will? Also, I'm trying to separate out the many, many Thomas Mattinglys from the early to mid 1700's and I can't seem to find any direct evidence that Thomas III had a son Thomas IV. HEM believed that the Thomas who died in 1756 was Thomas IV but I don't see any mention of him in his father's will or the will of any of his brothers. Paul Atlanta, GA
