Ruther Glen, VA - Maulding

Richard Maulding b. ca. 1675 - 

"Captain Richard Maulding came from England and settled in Virginia.  He received a grant of 387 acres of land in Caroline County in 1732.  He was the father of James Maulding who married Caty Tyler, a relative of President John Tyler . . ."  [Coffman, Edward.  The Story of Logan County, Parthenon Press, Nashville, TN, 1962]

Found this note regarding Richard Maulding of Caroline County, VA - 

Richard Mauldin was a trader & merchant at Chesterfield who was picked to be one of Caroline County's original 18 Magistrates in 1727.  He sold his business to his partner, Thomas Mallory, and opened a new firm farther north in the county.  In about 1750, he sold out to Peter Copeland, and left the county.  Peter Copeland was a factor or agent for his brother William Copeland, a Glasgow merchant.  Thomas Mallory took Samuel Garlick as a partner at Chesterfield when Mauldin sold out.  Garlick then bought the business from Mallory, and sold half to Samuel Redd.  This partnership lasted until around 1760, when Garlick resigned.  Redd continued in business at Chesterfield throughout the Revolutionary War period. [Fall, Ralph. People, Postoffices & Communities of Caroline County, Virginia 1727-1969, W.H Wolfe Associates, Roswell, GA, 1989]

Chesterfield was renamed Ruther Glen - 

Situated in Reedy Church District, just north of the North Anna River, on the R,F & P Railroad at Rt. 652; the present post office [1989] is located at the intersection of Rts. 1 & 207.  First known as Chesterfield Station on the Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomac railroad, the name was changed to Ruther Glen in 1836 by Major Myers (then superintendent of the railroad) to avoid confusion with Chesterfield Court House across the James River from Richmond. [Fall - People, Postoffices & Communities]

Ruther Glen, VA

Richard Mauldin and his family would have been members of St. Margaret's Parish - 

St. Margaret's Parish was created by the General Assembly, May 1, 1721.  In 1721, St. Margaret's Parish lay partly in King William County & partly in the area that became Caroline County in 1727.  In 1744 the parish was divided, and that part below Caroline became St. David's Parish in King William, while the part above remained as St. Margaret's Parish.  The parish contained two large brick church-buildings:  Reedy Church, situtated not far from the old Edmund Pendleton High School, and Bull Church near Ladysmith.  Bull Church was built in the shape of an "L" of which the bottom part was unused and allowed to go to ruin. [Fall - People, Postoffices & Communities]

St. Margaret's Church

Richard married Jane Taylor.  They had 7 children:

1. John b. ca. 1705
2. Sarah b. ca. 1710
3. Richard b. ca. 1715
4. a daughter b. ca. 1718
5. William b. ca. 1720
6. Susannah b. ca. 1723
7. James b. ca. 1725
