Hello,
I am researching some ancestors in a different area of the family and I have seen things about them that make me wonder about possible Saponi or Monacan ancestry.
A few ancestors are Stephen T. Saunders and Elizabeth “Bettie” Mallory, who lived in the west and north areas of Hanover County, VA for the 1850 and 1860 censuses. These same areas of Hanover County I have seen mentioned on this site. Later, on the 1870 census, they are listed in the James River Township of Buckingham County, VA with their post office being listed as Curdsville. This township of Buckingham County directly borders Nelson County, VA. In Hanover County, there are a number of names neighboring them that I have seen mentioned on this site such as Patterson, Hall, Butler, and Tinsley. The neighboring names in Buckingham County I must research more but two of these names are Donald and Coleman.
I have seen the name “Saunders” mentioned in threads on this site and in other places. I know less about the name “Mallory” but am searching for more information. Has anyone come across these specific names or know anything more about the Saunders/Mallory names in these areas?
Also, one quick question about the site. I would like to update some of my previous posts, but I can’t find an edit button. Is there a way to edit or should I just post a new message on the thread?
