To help answer a question recently received from the UK re boxer Tom Molineaux (1784-1818), I found the Virginia Historical Society webpage (www.vahistorical.org/molineaux.htm). While I left a query for the historical society at this site, I am advised it may take 3 weeks for a librarian¹s response. I wonder if anyone on this list could point me to any non-fiction work, or archive that might describe Tom Molineaux¹s travels to London from Virginia. For my own interests, does anyone know of a history or an archive that names or discusses Tom Molineaux¹s slave-holding family or how he came to have the Molineaux surname.
