Hi, I understand some of myMoxley family or their ancestors were onthe Mayflour. They came to Texas from Missouri and had married into a Fleming family there or in Illinois. Great Grandad George Milton Moxley came home from Civil War, a paid substitute, and visited kin in Mecklenburg County then returned to Missouri, then to Stephenville, Texas with loom and spimming wheel. Would like to know more about them in 15 & 1600's. He lived until I was in school. Wasn't one Moxley girl in Boston , a neighbor of Ted Kennedy's sister, found dead between her home and the Kennedy grandson's home whom she had been with that day? This was on Unsolved Misteries. It is a bigger mistery to me- the Moxley family, that is. Take care, Charles Wyly On Thu, 09 Sep 1999 13:25:57 -0400 Randal W Cooper <[email protected]> writes: >Dear Subscribers to the Southern Trails Mailing List, > >This is my first posting. > >The heart of my research involves attempting to trace natives of >Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont to the Ohio >River >Valley, in the Ohio counties of Adams, Scioto and Lawrence and the >Kentucky counties of Mason, Lewis and Greenup. > >What routes were used, whether there were short residences along the >way, or whether the migration was done in one direct step, these are >all >issues I must constantly ponder.
