The Tennessee Mauldings scattered all over Middle and West Tennessee as well as into Western Kentucky. Each branch of the family had many children, some of whom married into some of the most prominent families of the Red River section. The men in the Mauldin family were keen sighted and made money rapidly. They acquired vast landed estates, moving with the progress of migration of their day. [Red River Settlements, p. 48]

The Wayne County Press is published on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Local subscribers outside Fairfield get it on Wednesdays and Friday. If you are in Fairfield driving around, you always slow down to see what's up on the Press window. They actually write breaking news on large pieces of paper and tape them to the window. Always look out for gawkers near 213 East Main and don't rear end anyone.
Those of us who live outside Wayne County get the paper much later and sometimes get two issues on the same day.
Anyway, here are some good stories about relatives from the September papers I thought I'd share.

William Darby known as Deacon William for his standing in the church.

1743 - The first meeting house erected by the Baptists in Scotch Plains was probably commenced in the year 1743. The managers engaged in its erection were John Stites, William Lines and William Darby. The land upon which it was built, including the graveyard, was given to the church by William Darby, its first ruling elder. In 1759, the house was much enlarged, covered with cedar shingles both roof and sides, and so finished as to afford agreeable accommodations to the rapidly increasing congregation. This house continued in existence until the winter of 1816-1817, when it took fire and was burned to the ground.
