What was in Pontotoc, Mississippi that attracted our ancestors?? Some of my MAULDINS went there from OPD, Abbeville and Greenville after stop offs in Georgia and Alabama. The favorite place in Alabama seemed to be Limestone County...What was there?? Does anyone know who Sarah and Margaret Mauldin's parent were?? Surry DAVIS(Rev. Soldier-Patriot, fought on SC frontier) married Sarah Mauldin first, and they had 4 children...Sarah died,apparently....Surry married Sarah's sister,Margaret, and they had 8 children...Surry signed his "Stub Idents" over to Blake MAULDIN and lived next to Blake and had business dealings with him over the years...Surry DAVIS moved with his family ,as a young boy, from Granville Co., NC to OPD, SC, probably Surry was born 12-23-1764 in Granville Co., NC and died before Oct. 1853 in Murray Co., Spring Place, GA at his oldest son's (Greenville DAVIS) house. Blake MAULDIN was in Granville, NC in the 1780s before moving to OPD,SC...I have no proof, but I believe Blake MAULDIN is the father of Sarah and Margaret MAULDIN...Does anyone have any info that would help...I would appreciate any help...Thanks.
