    1. [VAAUGUST] James Moffett
    2. Just wondering if anyone knows who these Moffett girls married? I will never be able to prove a wife for John Callison, son of James, but the Callisons, Moffetts and Ledgerwoods lived in the same vicinity. My thoughts are that John was possibly married to an Elizabeth. Two of James Mitchell's children married two of James Callison's children so since he was executor of this will -- the families must have known each other. Robert Callison, brother to John, witnessed the will in 1810 of James Moffett Page 334.--25th June, 1757. James Moffett's will, farmer--Sons, John and James Moffett, the plantation to be divided between them by a line beginning at middle of Wm. Ledgerwood's pasture, cross the Hasle Bottom, thence to James Carr's land; to daughter, Elizabeth; daughter, Mary; son-in-law, John Berryhill, and his wife, Rachel Berryhill; son James is infant; daughters, Martha and Elizabeth; daughter, Jane; to son-in-law Wm. Campbell and his wife Margrett; to Ann Miller, 1 dollar. Executors, Wm. Ledgerwood and James Mitchell. To son-in-law James Berryhill. Teste: Wm. Edmiston, Arthur Hamilton, Robt. Alexander. Proved, 26th March, 1764, by Edmiston and Hamilton. Executors refuse to execute and James Moffett is granted administration, who qualifies with Arthur Hamilton and Walter Smiley. John Callison was probably married by 1765 or so Not sure but it looks like one of William Ledgerwood's daughters married a Moffit-- I can cross LEDGERWOOD off as a potential wife for John Callison. <smile> Needles in haystacks. Page 509.--15th June, 1782. William ( ) Ledgerwood to his daughters Martha Pattereon and Jean Moffett, gift of negroes. Teste: James and Elizabeth Moffett. **************Start the year off right.
