It is believed that the senior Thomas and his family immigrated to Maryland about 1663 or 1664. The senior Thomas died shortly after their arrival and the widow soon remarried a Walter "Pake" a local attorney. On 1 August 1665 he entered the rights of the immigrant Mattingly family to 300 acres of land. Having paid their own passage, each member of the family was entitled to 50 acres of land. A certificate was issued in May 1666 for 300 acres of land in Charles County, Maryland to be known as "Mattingly's Hope" and the patent for the tract was issued on 4 September 1666 made out to the two boys of the family, Thomas and Cezar.

Thomas II married twice, first to an unknown Mary sometime after May 1680, and secondly to an unknown Elizabeth, about 1697. Thomas died about before January 12, 1715, when his will was filed in St. Mary's County, Maryland.^[1]

Rev. Herman Mattingly reported in "Mattingly Family in Early America" that Judith and Elizabeth were born in the 1690s. Judith was married to her first husband by 1699. Hence, her birth date must be earlier. She and Elizabeth are likely children of their father's first (possible) marriage to Mary "Suttle" (maiden name possibly Curtis). The will of John Suttle, written on 4-14-1680 names his wife as Executrix. When the will was executed on 10-7-1681, it included payment to Mary Mattingly, Executrix, wife of Thomas Mattingly. This Mary, however, could have been a daughter of John and not his ex-wife. This marriage is still under investigation.

The parents of Thomas were Thomas, I and Elizabeth. His siblings were, Judith, Elizabeth, and Cezar.

From Kilty's Land-Holder's Assistant, and Land-Office GuideVolume 73, Page 205: Lost Warrant Renewed: Luke Gardiner declares on oath that a warrant granted to him for 350 acres of Land had been accidentally lost, that neither himself nor any other person by, for, or under him, or by his consent, privity or knowledge, ever made use of any part or parcel thereof, or received any benefit thereby, save only one hundred acres part thereof by him assigned to Thomas Mattenly, &c.

Warrant granted for 250 acres to Richard Eleden, assignee of Gardiner."

from Herman Mattingly's book: "Charles County, Maryland patent 1666 for land "Mattingly's Hope" was to Thomas (II) & Cezar Mattingly. Thomas II bought land "Mount Misery" & "Mattingly's Hope" in St Mary's Co, MD. Cezar possess all the land in Charles County, Maryland as he sold this 1719 to Thomas Turner after his bro Thomas II's death. In the record of sale it says Cezar is a planter of St Mary's Co, MD.

By 1705 Cezar had a 150A tract "The Thames" in St Clement's Hundred in St Mary's Co, MD. Rent Rolls give the tract as surveyed Nov 1670 for Patrick Salmon; & owned by Cezar in 1705. Next Rent Roll gives John Matney as possessor which suggests this is Cezar's son as Thomas II had no son John. 1717 John Matney received a warrant of survey 1717 for "Mattingly's Addition", a 50A parcel in St Mary's Co. It stated it adjoined "Thems" now owned by said Mattingly.

1718 Chancery Court deposition Cezar testified that tract "St Lawrence" was near Mr Turners. It gave his age as 64 leading to birth date of 1654. At the same time a Thomas Mattingly testified who was 30 years old sowas likely Cezar's son. His bro Thomas's son was not yet of legal age so not likely his nephew Thomas III, s/o Thomas II who died 1714.
