Depositions from Westmoreland County, Westmoreland Deeds and Wills 1753-1756, reprinted in William and Mary Quarterly, v. 10, p. No. 3 (Jan., 1902), pp. 175-177
25 November 1755 William Browne, of the colony of Virginia, age 70 or thereabouts, saith that he hath many times been informed in his youth by the ancient inhabitants of his neighborhood that a certain David WICKLIFFE together with Jane Brown who was this deponent's mother, about 100 years ago had been obliged to fly from the province of Maryland to this colony to avoid the violence of a Roman Catholic faction there or to recieve or be brought up in the Protestant religion here, and that they were at the time of their coming and landing at Mattox Creek (where they lived their whole lives) "infants of tender years." That David Wickliffe lived many years in sd. Mattox Neck and that he remembers often to have seen him and that it was curently reported that David had married a widow of one Nicholas by whom he had issue, David, Robert, and Deborah all with whom the deponent was well acquainted. The said Davd, the son, m. Elizabth Cullum, and had issue, Isaac his eldest son, who had issue David Wickliffe who is about 30 years of age. He saith that he hath many time heard that David Wickliffe the elder was the first male child born in the province of Maryland of Protestant parents.
On 25 November 1755 Samuel Johnston, aged upwards of 70, planter deposed that he was a servant to David Wickliffe in Mattox Neck; that he was intimately acquainted with his eldest son David and remembers that he married Elizabeth King, by whom he had issue, Isaac his eldest son, and that the said Isaac married Elizabeth Cullom by whom he had issue an eldest son David who is at this time about 32 years of age.
The following comes from Anneliese Kennedy from a post on the Genforum Wickliffe page:
Actually, Mark Cullum Sr married Elizabeth Kimball, daughter of Lydia Brookes by her second marriage to William Kimball. They had a daughter named Elizabeth Cullum, who m. Isaac Wickliffe (her half-second cousin). Mary Butler was actually Mary Cullum Butler, daughter of Mark and Elizabeth Kimball Cullum - she was Lydia's granddaughter, according to Lydia's will. I can give you the court record citations for this, if you like. BTW, there was an epidemic in 1698 when a lot of the family died, including Lydia, as well as (apparently) her son William Kimball, jr. David Wickliffe III, his brother Robert (who m. Margaret Pierce, not the one who married Dorcas Arrington), David's bro-in-law John Washington (m. Anne Wickliffe), Original Browne (Lydia's bro-in-law), David's stepbrothers Lewis Nicholas and Nathaniel Pope, and his step-cousin Frances Lisson all died in the epidemic.
