Gayle, Wanted to make a comment/correction to your comment: "34 acres to William Vain (is this the husband of Audrey Miles, daughter of Philip and Eleanor Miles?), 22 acres to" Audrey Pidgeon Miles was the wife of Henry Miles. The bit about her being the dau of Philip and Eleanor O'Bryan Miles has been confused repeatedly. I had to straighten this out a number of years ago. The records for Philip and Eleanor Miles are found in Nelson Co. KY records. (even though 1789 Nelson Co also contained what is now Wash Co established in 1792 ) Definite proof etc.. Eleanor Pidgen Miles' will is in Washington Co. KY as follows: "Miles, Eleanor ; Will-- W: 23 Jan 1805, P: 7 Jul1806] Wish to be buried Hardin Cr Chapel Leg: sons William, Bartin, Elexius, Joseph, Edward and Francis Daughters: Audrey Vain, Priscilla Osborn, Sarah Montgomery .... grandson: Rhodia Elexius Mudd and Thomas Mudd their father Thomas Mudd.....

Thank you Mary Ann. I've put the correction in my file. I've done very little research on the Miles family,even though I descend from Basil P Howard and his wife Monica Ann Miles (1803-1864). She was the daughter of Jesse Miles and Elizabeth Murray. Jesse was son of William Miles,who was son of Henry Miles and Eleanor Pidgeon. So you see I have no excuse for my mistake!

James Vessells, witness to James Howard's will who proved it in court, was a neighbor who had a son James who married Eleanor Mattingly (daughter of Joseph), and a son Charles who married Catherine Howard (daughter of James). He also had a son Elisha (Delijus) who married Catherine Forrest, daughter of Thomas Forrest (who later married Mary Howard, James' widow) and Catherine Spalding (daughter of Thomas and Catherine Cooper). > > > 3. The maiden name of the wife of Stephen Spalding is also unknown. Besides being bondsman for Mary Howard on her marriage to Thomas Forrest in 1804 he appears on a number of other records. He is bondsman for Charles Howard in several court cases to recover debt. He is bondsman for Charles Howard when Charles becomes guardian of his minor siblings in 1812. He endorses a mortgage for Charles Howard in 1822. He was bondsman for Edward Mattingly when he became guardian of Dorothy Beavin in 1824. Edward Mattingly and Henry Parsons were bondsmen for Stephen Spalding when he became the guardian of Edward Blandford in 1823. > > > 4.

Stephen Spalding sued Ignatius Mattingly (probably son of Leonard Mattingly 1739-1829) for £20 for riding into his yard and shooting his dog in 1805. > > > 7. Stephen Spalding was bondsman with Felix Mattingly, son of William Mattingly, when Felix married Matilda Spalding in April 1823. > > > 8. Thomas Howard (1697-1773), who is possibly the grandfather of James Howard, gave a deposition in 1762 in the case of John Baptist Spalding (father of Stephen) vs. Henry Spalding, his brother. He also mentioned Ignatius Mattingly, father of Leonard and William Mattingly in his 1773 will in St. Mary's County, Maryland. "I give and bequeath unto my loving son Martin Henry and my loving Daughter Mary a tract of Land being part of Gilmotts Hills under a lease during the life Ignatius Mattingly". > > > 9. Sixteen names are on the same page as James Howard on the Oath of Allegiance. Ignatius Mattingly Jr. is four names above and Francis Mattingly is the next after James. This seems to indicate close residence. > > > 10. Fifty-nine names are on the same page of the c. 1780 St. Mary's County militia muster roll with James Howard. Ignatius Mattingly and Thomas Mattingly (which one? When did Thomas the father of Ignatius die?) are on the same page. This also seems to indicate the families were in the same neighborhood. > > > 11. Philip Davis was married to Margaret Mattingly, daughter of Leonard Mattingly and Monica Monarch.
