Al, Yes, please print my query! I would never deny that to anyone!!! You say: "Justin's Moss family are descendants of John "The Carpenter"." Do you know something I dont??? Basically this is what I do know. John Moss + Mary Pulley Died 1734 Will (Surry Co) 1734 I John Moss + **MARY** Died 1761 Died 1775 Sussex Co Sussex Co ** A woman I have been working with on this family (her husband was a Pennington descendant, of another line) says that this MARY's ,who married John Moss, maiden name is PENNINGTON. She is looking to see where she got the information. But she hasnt found it yet. I Henry MOSS + Susanna Greene d 1782 Sussex Co I I I---------------------------------------------------------------------------I Joshua MOSS m. Sarah PENINGTON Edmund MOSS m. Edith BARNETT I descend from Edmund and Edith MOSS, NOT Joshua and Sarah Penington MOSS Thats why I am trying to find the maiden name of MARY ?? MOSS died in 1775, husband of John MOSS. Thanks Again, Justin
