Hessy Hinton was the daughter of Vachel Hinton (c 1735 - 1825) and his first wife, Margaret, of Fleming County, Kentucky. In his will recorded in Fleming County, April 19, 1821, Vachel Hinton names as one of his daughters, Hessee Matney, a not uncommon form of Mattingly in the early records. Then on October 3, 1827 Deed Book 0, page 336, Fleming County records, Hezenor Mattingly deeds 95 acres of her inheritance to her half brother, Hezekiah Hinton, son of Vachel by his second wife. Hezenor Mattingly, according to these records, lived in Washington County, Kentucky. This information comes from Professor John Walton, certified genealogist of Baltimore, Maryland and a descendant of Vachel Hinton of Fleming County.
Professor Walton first finds Vachel Hinton in the Frederick and Montgomery Counties of Maryland about 1757 and thinks, although proof has not as yet been finally established, that Vachel was probably the son of Thomas Hinton Sr. of Anne Arundel County, Maryland who had moved to Montgomery County and had married Rachel Howard in 1718 in St. Ann's Anglican Church in Annapolis. Prior their arrival in Maryland, the Hintons were in Virginia, and very early as a Sir Thomas Hinton was a member of the Virginia colony that established the first permanent white settlement in America in 1607. Vachel and his family apparently came to Kentucky from Washington and Allegheny Counties of Maryland shortly before 1800 Hessy was probably the second oldest child in her family, the oldest being Benjamin born about 1761 in Maryland and reportedly a Revolutionary War veteran. Besides Hessy and Benjamin there were also Elizabeth, Rachel, Eli, Zacariah and Samuel, all by Vachel's first marriage. By his second marriage to Nancy Roy, there Hezekiah, Celia and Thomas.
Hessy Hinton's nephew, Vachel Hinton, grandson of her father, Vachel Hinton, was an early settler of Breckinridge County, Kentucky. According to Webb' s CENTENARY OF CATHOLICITY IN KENTUCKY, the younger Vachel Hinton came to Kentucky in 1791 with a Richard Mattingly of Maryland. His second wife was Jane Mattingly, the daughter of Ignatius Mattingly and Sarah Catherine Fowler who were next door neighbors of Joseph Mattingly and Hessy Hinton in Washington County, Kentucky. Ignatius Mattingly was the son of Leonard Mattingly, one of three pioneer Mattingly brothers to Kentucky from St. Mary's County, Maryland. Vachel was born in 1771 and lived to be over 100 years old, dying in 1873. He was buried in St. Anthony's cemetery in Breckinridge County, Kentucky. His weather eroded marker is still standing over a century later, standing near that of his Aunt Hessy' s younger son, Gabriel Mattingly.
After Joseph's death in 1820, Hessy's name continued to appear in the Washington County and Marion County taxc lists until the year 1837 at which time we presume she died. The approximate year of her birth was based upon data in the 1810 and 1820 census records of Washington County, Kentucky. Her estate was absorbed into that of her daughter-in-law, Mary Dailey Mattingly, who bt that time had been appointed by the court to be administrator for old Joseph.
It is not known where Hessy was buried but it is most likely to have been the cemetery at St. Charles Church. [2]
