Biography

Francis was born about 1600. Francis Mauldin ... He passed away about 1642. [1]

1635 Arrival in Virginia

The first Francis Maulden arrived in Virginia about 1635 with John Suttor or Sutton. They received their headright together. It is not known which ship they arrived on.

We know that Francis Malden (Maulden) paid passage for his wife Katherine, daughter Margaret and six other persons i.e. Jos. Pitloe, Robert Sutton, Barbary Barnes, Hump. Browne, Francis Hutchinson, and William Parry. For importation of these individuals, he received 50 acres for his own adventure, 50 acres for his wife's adventure and 300 acres for the importation of the six other adults. Since he received his headright with John Sutton or Suttor and imported Robert Sutton, it is believed that his wife's maiden name was probably Sutton. [2] The ship was the West.

The land that he received was described Virginia Vital Records #1 p 421 Francis Maulden, 400 acres on Nanzemond river on the north side, abutting south east on the island "commonly called Dumplin Island."

1637 Death of Katherine

Katherine Maulden died about 1637. The cause is unknown.

1638 Marriage to Grace Bennett

Francis Maulden married 2nd Grace Bennett. Grace was born in England about 1620. Of this union, two children were born, i.e. Grace Maulden and Francis Maulden.

1642 Additional Land

Francis Maulden received 100 more acres in 1642 for the importation of two servants, i.e. Thomas Sheridand and John Carre.

1644 Death

Francis Maulden was deceased by 1644 when a land deed identified Margaret, Grace and Francis Malden as heirs of Francis Malden.

It is known that Francis had received at least 650 acres of land in Virginia. In 1644, Virginia Land Records shows Robert Throgmorton received 650 acres of which 300 was part of land granted Francis Malden in 1637. There appears some discrepancy in the year. First VA land records record the year as 1636 when Francis acquired the land. This record indicates 1637. (Both land patents and the abstracts from Cavaliers and Pioneers are included in images. They appear to be the same patent of 400 acres at Dumplin Island and for the importation of the same individuals. Not sure why there is a second record.)

1649 Departure of Widow and Children for Maryland

Grace Bennett Maulden along with children left Virginia on or before 1649. She was probably in the company of the Edward Lloyd migration to Maryland in 1649 because of religious problems in Virginia.

Children

1. Margaret, born 1630 in England, daughter of Francis Maulden and Katherine Sutton
2. Grace, born 1638 in Virginia, daughter of Francis and Grace Bennett
3. Francis, born 1640 in Virginia, son of Francis and Grace Bennett
