This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of
this moment!!
Dorsey Asa
Sanderlin, son of Joseph Sanderlin and his wife Charity Sawyer, was born in Camden Co., NC
in 1811. His father died in 1815. Dorsey was a farmer and a Baptist preacher. I understand
that he was a founder in 1873 of Rehoboth Church near the Currituck Ct. House.
Rehoboth Baptist Church, Maple, Currituck Co NC - 1871
services 2 x's monthly - brush arbor -
The Rev. Dorsey Sanderlin, a traveling preacher, conducted the
services. Bro. Sanderlin traveled from place to place spreading the
gospel, paving the way for others to follow. He was called one of
the greatest "Pioneer" Preachers of his time. He was from Camden
County.
9 Aug 1872 - Augustus Walker appt. Commission to wait on absentees.
The church called the Rev. Dorsey Sanderlin to be the first pastor.
The Charter members were Jasper Walker, his wife Medy; their two
sons, Augustus & Haywood Walker; Joseph Taylor, Jackson Ballance,
Bethuel B., Uriah B. and Joseph Simmons. |
He
died in 1881 in Pasquotank Co., NC.
Lydia Walkup, daughter of Samuel Walkup and his wife, was born
ca 1809 in
Camden Co., NC. In Nov 1836 in Camden County, North Carolina, Lydia and Dorsey sell
property (that they had inherited on the death of her father, I think.)
From the census I learned that Dorsey had at least five wives: He married first Lydia
Walkup about the year 1830. But there are some documents that speak of his
now wife, Jane, executed in 1846. In 1850 the census St. Brides Parrish, Norfolk Co., Virginia,
shows his wife as Chrylsa; in 1860 back in Camden Co, NC his wife's name is Gracey; and on
the 1870 and 1880 in Pasquotank Co., NC his wife is Christian Owens (1822-1886).
Christian Owens was born 3 Jan 1822 in Tyrell City NC, the
daughter of Isaac Owens [1768-1849] and Ann Foster [1784-]. One tree
in FHC gives this person as mother of Rebecca. Were there two Christian
Owens??
