William M. Maund Sr.^1,2 son of Hardy Maund was born on Oct 14, 1798 in North Carolina. Edgecombe Co probably.^1,2,3,4,5

THERE IS NO KNOWN DOCUMENTATION AS TO THE PARENTS OF WILLIAM M. MAUND SR. I HAVE LISTED HIM AS THE SON OF HARDY MAUND BECAUSE HE SEEMS TO BE THE MOST LIKELY CANDIDATE.

His parents are unknown and exactly where in NC he lived is unknown. Edgecombe Co NC is probably a good guess. According to family tradition, one of his sons was born in GA.

There was a Mallachia Maund who died about 1790 in Edgecombe Co NC. His wife was Mary Howell. Mallachia and Mary had four sons, Hardy, Lott, Mallachia, and Daniel C T C B N Maund. In their mother's will of 1795, Mallachia and Lott were still attending school. Hardy was>16 and living at home, while Lott was > 16 and living alone. Mallachia, Hardy, and Lott all appear to have moved to GA, Malachi to Putnam Co and Lott, Daniel and maybe Hardy to Burke Co GA. William is too old to have been the son of either Daniel or Mallachi. He could have been the son of either Hardy or Lott Maund of Edgecombe Co NC.

A common methodology among many families is to name their sons after grandparents or one of his parents' brothers. Using this logic, our William Maund could have been the grandson of the William Maund of Edgecomb Co NC. Our William named one of his sons Hardy. Ages would seem to fit this logic also.He lived in or near the junction of the East and West Choctawhatchee River in Dale Co AL prior to 1860. He was a Justice of the Peace of Dale Co AL at one time.

1790-1810: The first three census schedules for Georgia are missing. A total of seventeen volumes of 1790-1820 censuses were lost by the federal government, evidently before 1895, and the cause is unknown. Georgia law did not require marriages to be recorded until 1805.

William married Dorcas Tabbitha bef 1824. Location unknown. Probably Georgia.
