James Maulding and Caty (Tyler) were the parents of Ambrose Maulding. A Kentucky historical marker chronicles the family as they were the first family in Western Ky (Logan County ) and established Maulding station. Ambrose was a Lieutenant at Maudling’s Station where in 1782 Indians compelled a temporary abandonment of the fort.
James Maulding and his sons were active in politics. The Mauldings participated in the organization of Logan County in 1792 and remained active in political affairs until about 1808; James served as county judge, Ambrose as justice of the peace, Morton as a state legislator, and Wesley as sheriff.
James Maulding had 4 sons, Ambrose, Morton, Wesley, and RichardLogan County was formed in 1792 from Lincoln County. the first tax book of Logan County 1792 shows: Ambrose Maulding 372 acres, 12 horses, 12 cattle Richard Maulding 274 acres, 4 horses, 8 cattle Morton Maulding 700 acres, 21 horses, 17 cattle James Maulding 6 horses and 19 cattle Morton Maulding discovered the site of current Russellville, KY while following a buffalo trace.Ambrose Maulding was first Logan Co magistrate in 1792 Morton Maulding was first Logan Co representative in Ky Legislature in 1799Ambrose was twice wed: The name of his first spouse was “Peggy,” whose surname is not known. She died, survived by her husband and six or seven children. As his second spouse Ambrose Maulding wed Mary (Purdy) on 19 Feb 1801 in Logan County, KY. By his two spouses, Ambrose had 15 children, many of whom accompanied him to Illinois, where he settled permanently.
Ambrose entered a patent for land on 11 Aug 1817 in White County, Illinois . He was sixty years old before he reached White County, IL where, immediately, he became concerned in political doings as did his sons. He was one of the early, if not the first, justices of the peace. His son Ennis was an Illinois state senator.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!

Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
