Please, share the results when they happen with this mail list. I am extremely interested in Uriel Mallory because of his interactions with my Orange County Hawkins line. I would be interested in which group this Mallory line falls into. I don't yet know if I am related to William Hawkins whose will was witnessed by Uriel Mallory: >the Will of William Hawkins of Orange County >> dated 20 Jan 1776. He names son, John, Wife, Elizabeth, son, William, >> and son Benjamin. Uriel Mallory and Wm Stother and Thomas Brown are >> witnesses. > But I find that Benjamin Hawkins and Thomas Hawkins to whom I am "for sure"related are still having dealings with probable sons of Uriel Mallory in 1813 when all these men meet in "Brother Hawkins's home to found Zion Baptist Church at Mallory's Ford in Orange County, Virginia: > About three and one half miles south of Orange in the home of Brother > Hawkins, with James Arnold, Roger Mallory, Nicolas Bickers, Joseph > Atkins (clerk), James Perry (deacon), Killie Hoard, Benjamin Hawkins, > Hamlet Sanford, John Rogers (deacon), William Bell, William Mallory, > William Hancock, William Embry, Coleman Marshall (deacon), Henry > Perry, John Churchill Gordon (pastor), and Thomas Hawkins, seventeen > in all. Please remember to send the results this way.
