Thank You Kristi, I also wanted to let you know that I found 4 "Moffett" persons when I was searching the internet a few nites ago. They were listed in Culpepper County, Virginia. The reason I think this is so interesting is that I am searching Elijah and his family in Virginia also. We have found him as a adult but not where his parental family lived. And I now found his mother also in this county...Culpeper County, Virginia. The others who I was working with on this never checked Culpeper. They kept looking in Goochland, and one was sure they were from Cumberland. I was amazed at finding the mother. I have the names of the "Moffetts" listed if you want me to send it to you.

Thanks, but I am too busy right now to work on my own genealogy unfortunately. My husband's late mother actually did a lot of work on his family, so I haven't ever even attempted his side of things, since my own family keeps me busy enough when I do get the urge to delve into family history, I just leave his alone. Also, Moffitt is actually a maternal line. Not, that it matters much, but he would be a BOULDIN if things had gone a little differently for his great grandmother.
