William Melton Golden, c1776-1852

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).

Notes – Kirkland and Golden

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.
