Disputed Origins
references refers to Mary as being a WEBB of I sle of Wight Co, VA before she md John Hudnall. It would appear from wills (source #1, pg 363) that her brothers wer e Webbs. (From Banks McLaurin 12/89) ! Mary had one son, Edward Sanders 2nd, by her 1660 marriage to Ed Sanders. [See pg 341 of Early Settlers of AL- "He wa s coroner in 1702. Mr John Webb, in his will (1709) appt his cousin {nephew} Edward Sanders, exec., with Thos Webb, an d my ... sister Mrs Dickinson. Edward's wife name was Elizabeth...." ] No children were born of Mary Hudnall Sanders ' marriage to Wm Thomas, altho he had a daughter by a former marriage. (Source: Hudnall Fam in Northum. Co, VA, Rob t Cooney.)
! Mary was a PARTAIN/PARTIN, NOT a Webb (altho apparently Webb descendents have "claimed" her). Her father was actuall y Robert Partain. It may be that she m. # 1 to a Webb man. Ken Hudnall has more on this line. 2/3/93. !Banks McLaurin (& Carolyn Jett via Oct 29, 1984 letter) also had come to the conclusion that she was a Partain. Bank s just hadn't told me!

Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Saunders-205
Edward Saunders, of Northumberland county, Chirurgeon, (Surgeon) 1660, was probably he whom Hotten mentions as coming to Virginia in 1635 in the ship "Safety," aged 9, with his father, Thomas, aged 40, and brother Thomas, aged 13. Others of this family may also have come to Virginia. Until 1634 all immigrants were landed at James City, and the commander at "Poynt Comfort" was required to administer the oath of "Allegiance and Supremacy" (Hen. 1, 166). Before 1660, Edward Saunders removed from James river to Northumberland county--named for the noble Percy, but called "Chicacone," until after 1645, when it was represented in the Assembly by Capt. John Mottrom, who died in 1655. Act of 1649: "All south of the Potomac shall be accounted within the county of Northumberland," * * and, after 1st of September, 1649, "from that day, and not before, it shall be lawful for any of the inhabitants to remove themselves to the north side of Charles (York) river and Rapp river." This, because of the massacre by the Indians in 1644, when the whites had fled. The Northumberland patents began 1648, with Capt. Francis Poythress to collect the assessments. At first, commanders of plantations held monthly courts, with right of appeal to the Quarter Court held by the Governor and Council. These were succeeded by Commissioners of Monthly courts, later called County Courts, when commissioners were first called Justices, in 1645. Edward Saunders, or Sanders (as it is variously spelled in the old records) was born in England 1625. His will, written in Northumberland county, 4th October, 1669, was not proved until 1672. He evidently had much intercourse with Isle of Wight county, and in 1660 he stated in a court "held that month at Capt. Peter Ashton's house," that he had married Mary, widow of John Hudnall,(*) who had removed to Northumberland in 1655 from Isle of Wight county, and died 1658, and whose plantation was on the south side of Wicomico river, near "the Island." (His descendant, James Saunders, of North Carolina, wrote in Edenton, N. C. (1824), a "Pamphlet of the Saunders Family," which gives an unbroken line from the immigrant ...
She married (3) Mr. William Thomas,(+) and was granted a commission of administration on his estate, 1678. The appraisers were William Downing, Sr., and Samuel Webb. She died 1683-4, and Ebenezer Saunders and Edward Saunders, her sons, were granted letters of administration on her estate, and gave bond of 30,000 pounds of tobacco. The appraisers were Thomas Webb, John Cocke, William Horem and others. (Northumberland Records.) It is best to conclude with Edward2 Saunders, the second son, before going on with the line of Ebenezer, the eldest.
