And what's wrong with marrying your first cousin? I'll have you know that it makes my family tree a lot easier to read than most.

Actually, I agree with Charley. However, I do wonder who Elizabeth Brewer may have been.

Linda:

We already know that Richard Brewer is the Uncle of John Mattingly. A
marriage of John Mattingly and Elizabeth Brewer would be a marriage of First
Cousins.

The documents listed below, in my opinion, do not add any additional support
for increased relationships, to that already established by Elizabeth
Greenochs will that appears to include Mark Mattingly as a son of John and
Grace.
