Epitomie of the History of the Moseley Family

In the calendar of wills of St. Mary County is the will of Major John Weire , dated May , 7 , 1671 , and probated April 28 , 1678 , Rappahannock County Virginia , William Moseley executor . Evidently Weire had acquired land in St. Mary County , Maryland , which necessitated the record of the will on the register of that county . It would seem , too, that there must had been some close relationship between John Weire and William Moseley . It is possible that this relationship is still further reflected by the fact that Robert Moseley , possibly a brother of William , went to St. Mary County , Maryland at a later date for some service in connection with the John Weire estate and settled there in 1715 . He was a witness to some wills in that county in that year .

Margaret then married (2) John Grant. In March, 1737, she asked for a reapportionment of the estate of her late husband, and Hancock Lee, Abram Kenyon, and John Grant were appointed to make it and to set aside to her one seventh of the estate. On Nov. 3, 1738, Anthony Strother qualified as "guardian of Elizabeth, Agatha, Margaret, Anne and Jane," five of the children of William Strother decd, and gave bond to pay five sevenths of the debts of said William. Some have said that she was the great grand aunt of President James Monroe. This is incorrect in that her sister Jane Watts was just the wife of a 1st cousin twice removed. (Owens, William Strother of VA, 1898, Page 8).

Her brother, John Watts, in his will referred to his sister, Margaret Grant. (1754 WILL: Westmoreland County, Virginia, dtd 4 Nov 1749, proved 27 Mar 1754).

Captain Grant married secondly (1737/8) Margaret Watts, daughter of Richard Watts and widow of William Strother (ca.1696-1733). By her he had two more children, Peter and Mary. There is a deed in Prince William County, Virginia (DB D-88) from John Grant, Gent, and Margaret his wife of Stafford Co to John Graham which states that Margaret Grant's former husband was William Strother.

John Grant's second wife, it is believed, was Margaret Strother (nee Watts), widow of William Strother, gentleman, of King George County. There is a deed in Prince William County (May 21, 1739) from "John Grant, Gentleman, and Margaret his wife of Stafford County to John Graham," stating that Margaret Grant's former husband was William Strother, and conveying 1240 acres of land in Hamilton Parish, Prince William County (Deed Book D, Page 88). John and Margaret Grant owned land in Stafford County. There is a deed in King George County (November 2, 1738) from John Grant and Margaret, his wife, to Augustine Washington, father of General George Washington, conveying 280 acres of land in Stafford County ("Letters to Washington," edited by Hamilton, Vol. III, pp. 183, 393; "Buckners of Virginia," by Crozier, Page 222).

Thomas Powell [Sr.]

1667 September 30. Thomas and Mary Powell sold (Ibid., page 317) their interest in 300 acres land to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Considerasions of Sittingbourne Parish, Rappahannock County, Virginia. The land was "lying in the freshes of Rappahannock River on the North side of the River."

8/11/1655 (Lancaster Co, Virginia Rec. Book, #2, page 104). Francis Place conveyed a tract of land formerly in Isle of Wight County, Virginia containing 300 acres patented by him September 7, 1654, lying on the North side of the "freshes" of the Rappahanncok River about ten miles above Nazemum Town and certain cattle by deed of gift to 'My daughter Mary Place when she arrives at 18 years,' if she dies without heirs, then 'to daughter Margaret Place, my youngest daughter.'" Mary had married Thomas Powell by 1666 when they deeded this same land to James Coghill.

9/30/1667 (Old Rappahannock Co, Virginia Deed Book 3, page 317): "Thomas Powell and Mary, his wife, sell to James Coghill for the valluable consideration of nyne barrells of good Indian corne as also for Divers other Consideracons 300 acres on the North side of Rappahannock River patented September 7, 1654. Mary Powell, daughter to Francis Place, doth appoint her loving friend, Mr. Daniel Gaines her true and lawful attorney to acknowledge said deed." William Wilton witnessed this power of attorney and a few days later bought the land from Coghill. This deed establishes the maiden name and father of Thomas Powell's wife Mary.

The Watts On-line Issue No. 53 October 17,1998

Sir Wm. Berkeley, etc... to Jno. Foxhall 314 acres of land in Westmoreland County in the body of the main forest betwixt the headbranches of Potomack and Rappa beginning at the line of Lt. Col. Jno. Washingtons land extending E 26 poles to a red oak a corner tree of Jno. Pipers from thence S. 320 poles to Spanish oak another corner tree of the said Pipers and thence E 200 poles to a red oak standing in the line of the land of MR. JOHN WATTS then S ? poles along the said MR. JOHN WATTS his line thence E 200 poles along the said Mr. Watts line thence S 50 poles thence W 426 poles to a red oak standing near Ned the Indians path thence N 550 poles to the place begun...23 day of October 1669.

Consequently, in the fall of 1669 John Willis, John Washington, John Piper, John Foxhall, Phillip Browne, Nathaniel Pope, Robert Nurse, and JOHN WATTS owned tracts between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers near Ned the Indian's path (possibly the same as Wariscreek or Warisquock path) and Powetridge (which was found with a variety of spellings ...I suspect that it may have been named because it was a convenient route for portaging between the Rappahannock and Potomac Rivers....

WATTS's tract at the head of Mattox Creek was orignally patented by Nathaniel Pope Sr. who willed it to his son Nathaniel (father of Nathaniel Pope alias Bridges) who sold it to Watts in 1665. WATTS then sold half of it to Thomas Wilford who died in 1666, Metes and bounds given in the patents indicate that the western boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Piper and that the southern boundary of WATTS' tract joined John Foxhall. WATTS and Willis lived within two or three miles of each other, but WATTS' land lay on the dividing ridge and was mostly in Westmoreland County where records for this tract are found.

Your petitioner bought of Mr. James Fulwood severall goods and more particularly six chaires covered with kederminster stuff white and green and fringe of the value of £1.16.- sterling mony at the first cost in England and had bound and corded up the said chaires and put them on his horses with an intent to carry them home to his plantation in Rappahannock County and finding it troublesome and illconvenient carriage, the plaintiff was persuaded by Mr. Fulwood and Mr. Thomas White to leave them with Mr. Thomas White and send for them at some other convenience. The plaintiff left the six chaires with Mr. Thomas White and Fulwood promised in case any opportunity did permitt hee would send them to Mr. Malachi Peele's plantation on Machotegue. But Fulwood not at all regarding his promise, the plaintiff twelve months after with a neighbour in company went to Mr. Thomas White's and met Mr.-White at his mill and desired him to goe home with them and deliver the chaires, but Mr. White being urgent at work about his mill and could not goe home with Berry, but gave Berry a note to his wife for the six chaires to be delivered to Berry.

Mr. Thomas Paicie marries the widdow and executrix of Mr. Thomas White, in whose possession the chaires are and of whom the plaintiff hath many tymes demanded them, and Paicie refuseth to deliver them to the plaintiff, to his damage 500 pounds of tobacco.
The defendant aledged a percell of verbal stuff in lieu of a plea as if he knew nothing of the matter, but at length the whole matter being refer'd to the Court, after several evidences produced by the plaintiff were read and all matters fully heard on both, parts, it is the Court's oppinion and judgment is granted Henry Berry for the six chaires.

Your petitioner bought of Mr. James Fulwood severall goods and more particularly six chaires covered with kederminster stuff white and green and fringe of the value of £1.16.- sterling mony at the first cost in England and had bound and corded up the said chaires and put them on his horses with an intent to carry them home to his plantation in Rappahannock County and finding it troublesome and illconvenient carriage, the plaintiff was persuaded by Mr. Fulwood and Mr. Thomas White to leave them with Mr. Thomas White and send for them at some other convenience. The plaintiff left the six chaires with Mr. Thomas White and Fulwood promised in case any opportunity did permitt hee would send them to Mr. Malachi Peele's plantation on Machotegue. But Fulwood not at all regarding his promise, the plaintiff twelve months after with a neighbour in company went to Mr. Thomas White's and met Mr.-White at his mill and desired him to goe home with them and deliver the chaires, but Mr. White being urgent at work about his mill and could not goe home with Berry, but gave Berry a note to his wife for the six chaires to be delivered to Berry.

Mr. Thomas Paicie marries the widdow and executrix of Mr. Thomas White, in whose possession the chaires are and of whom the plaintiff hath many tymes demanded them, and Paicie refuseth to deliver them to the plaintiff, to his damage 500 pounds of tobacco.
The defendant aledged a percell of verbal stuff in lieu of a plea as if he knew nothing of the matter, but at length the whole matter being refer'd to the Court, after several evidences produced by the plaintiff were read and all matters fully heard on both, parts, it is the Court's oppinion and judgment is granted Henry Berry for the six chaires.
