There are strong DNA match connections with the Perry families of South and North Carolina. Our Goldens descend from the South Carolina grandparent line of William Nathan Perry, 1748–1829, and Elizabeth Sikes or Lavender, 1750–1825. DNA suggests how we are related to the North Carolina family of William Perry Sr, 1753–1818, and Sarah “Sallie” Johnson, 1753–1825, and several other local Perry families.
William Melton Golden, c1776-1852, and his descendant lines are cousins to our South Carolina William and Nelly Golden — he would probably be a first or second cousin to the Thomas Golden line that moved to Newberry, South Carolina by 1760. Thomas was father of William Golden, c1750-1809. Parents: William Golden (1745–1810) and Alice Peggy Maupin, 1745–1788. The Maupin family were French Hugenots that came to Virginia pre-1700. First generation born in France, settled in Virginia: Gabriel Maupin (1655–1720) and wife Marie Hersent (1664–1748).

DNA matches with the Marcum / Markham family of early Virginia are strong. Whether they exist across all early pre-1800 branches of our Golden family is not something I have yet researched. Early records will usually indicate that the surname arrived in Virginia as Markham and within a generation or two became Marcum.
Descendants of Jonathan Gregory Kirkland, 1778–1837, and Eleanor (Ellen/Ellender) Warren, 1769–1855, can appear as DNA matches with our Golden family. This would be due to Eleanor Warren being the daughter of William (Charles William?) Warren, 1738–1807, and Eleanor “Nelly” Golden, 1745–1811.
