Notes - According to Kentucky marriages (Ancestry.com), J. B. Dant married Elizabeth
Shircliffe, 8/9/1792, Nelson Co., KY. I am assuming that this is Elizabeth
Mattingly, widow of Thomas Shercliffe (d. 1787).
I had not been aware that Thomas Shercliffe's will was also probated in KY.
I would, therefore, assume that he made the will when he was living in St.
Mary's County (June 15, 1786) and then left for KY and died there by July
27, 1787 (probate date). If you'll notice, Bennett Mattingly was a witness
to his will (brother of Elizabeth Mattingly, wife of Thomas Shercliffe).
Also notice that Thomas Shercliffe (probably a son of Thomas Shercliffe and
Elizabeth Mattingly) is one of the witnesses to the will of John Baptist
Dant in 1808.
I have Bennet and Elizabeth Mattingly (no indication her middle name was
Hopewell) as the children of John Mattingly, Jr. (d. 1759) and his wife,
Elizabeth Brewer. John Mattingly, Jr. was the son of John Mattingly (d.
1744) and first wife (name not known). John Mattingly (d. 1744) was the son
of Ceasar Mattingly and Jane Suttle.
Mary Dant must have been the daughter of John Baptist Dant and Elizabeth
Mattingly as she appears to have married Stephen Elliott (Ann's son by
Matthew Elliott).
