Dear Ms. Eby Macgregor,
Thank you for your prompt and informative response. If I understand what you have described (and please forgive me for not knowing much about the topography of Stafford),Charles Carter's land would have drained into the Potomac rather than the Rappahannock, meaning that William Mullen would have been in Stafford between 1664-1777 if he had lived on the property. This helps me considerably in my research.
I really appreciate your descriptions of where the Quakers lived and their Stafford Meeting was, though I confess to being disappointed that their records did not survive. It would have been so helpful. It is interesting that the Stafford Meeting house was on the Holloway land. I had been keeping my eye on the Holloways since the name came up when I thought my Mullins line came out of Perquimans County, NC through Abraham des Moulins. This line tended to be Quakers. It would have been unusual, however for people in this area to go North due to being on the Eastern side of the Fall Line. They usually went West. Oh well, perhaps I should check these families again.
This gives me at least four major areas to search for William Mullin's origins (NJ, PA, NC, the Northern Neck of Virginia). I should have a lifetime of fun!
As a note, I have checked out Hinshaw and found nothing on any Virginia Mullins. Despite the fact that his work takes up six very large volumes, it would seem that there are Quaker records (hopefully not many!)not covered.
Thank you again for your generous contributions to my research in so many ways - your book on the ironworks of Stafford, your information on the location of Charles Carter's land that was sold, and the information on the Quakers and their Meeting house location.
