I94906: MARY BERKELEY (ABT 1500

Notes

"William, mariner was of age by 4 Jan 1692/3 (Pr. Anne Deed Bk 1:30-31):
mentioning that their land was part of 12 Oct 1641, 640 ac land patent in Linhaven, Princess Anne Co. by their grandfather, John Gookin. It explains how his daughter, Mary #701 married first their father Capt Wm Moseley, but now their stepfather was Lt Col Anthony Lawson. on 4 Mar 1695/6 his cousin Wm was called "Wm Moseley Sr, son of Arthur" in Pr Anne DB 1:117, and likewise his DB1:225 will Jul 1699 he calls himself "Wm Moseley Jr son of Capt Wm dec'd".

Pr. Anne Co DB 2: 79 Aug 1711 calls him "son and heir of Capt Wm Moseley decd".
In DB1: 225 will he names his children for the first time in this order: first Mary, then Wm, then Richard, and finally Elizabeth. So I compiled them in that order. In 1691 he gave Mary land in Norfolk Co VA DB 5: 144, (p.299 Blankenship book).

Va Patent book 8: 64 of 21 Apr 1690 says Wm Moseley Jr got patent of Richard Poole's adj. Geo Poole etc by virtue of having married Poole's sole heiress.

SOBERING Essex Co. Moseleys: p.262 of Thos. B. Moseley Vol 2 says in 1678
Richard Poole was involved in document saying "427 acres which I lately purchased from Capt. Wm Moseley who had moved from Lower Norfolk to Old Rappahannock County."

Children: The will says Mary was born to 1st wife Blandina, and it gives mother's effects to Richard strongly hints he also from Blandina as 2nd wife was alive and using her effects. Also D Bk 2: 184-6, Dec 1713 says Blandina bore 2 sons and 1 dtr and states that Wm was older than Richard.

His widow Mary, (not their daughter Mary) married Adam Thorowgood.

Pr. Anne Abstracts: Anne E. Maling, Princess Anne County, Virginia Land and Probate Records Abstracted from Deed Books One to Eighteen 1691-1783 (Bowie, MD: Heritage Books, 1995), page 62: 4DB541 5 Jun 1734: Depositions of Edward Moseley (73)[#705], John Moseley (64) [#703], and Margaret Sayer (59) [#6456} that Thomas Walke [#5060], merchant who came from Barbados married Mary [#506] daughter of Anthony Lawson [#6452] and had three children - Thomas, Anthony [#5147], and Mary.

Princess Anne Deed Bk. uses Capt. 1714 deed (Norfolk Deed Bk 10:306) from Blandina to mariner Richard Moseley of Princess Anne Co.: land at Lamberts Point.

His will 27 Mar 1699, 01 Jul 1699. 1 DB 225. Legatees: Malachy, son of William Harper and Elizabeth his wife. Florents, son of James Porter, minister and Mary his wife, and godson to "my beloved deceased wife Blandina; daughter Mary Moseley; daughter Elizabeth Moseley; son William Moseley; son Richard Moseley; my 2 fathers-in-law Col. Anthony Lawson and
Major Francis Sayer (in modern language, his stepfather Lawson and father-in-law Sayer); brother Edward Moseley; brother John Moseley; sister Margaret Thoroughgood; sister Elizabeth Lawson; Mr. Josias Mackie (?Presbyterian minister of Norfolk & ?Princess Anne Co: see Norfolk Co Book 9: p.540, Mackie's 1716 will, Col Ed Mosly coexec); the children of my brother Walke Moseley and his wife Mary. [is Walke and wife, Mary Lawson parents of
#5147 Anthony Walke, Mary being the stepsister or other step kin of Wm1Wm2Wm3 by his mother's first marriage before his mother, Mary Gookin married a Moseley]

Adventurers of Purse and Person 1607-1625, 3rd ed. 1987 revised and edited by Virginia M. Meyer and John Frederick Dorman:

The original document explains WHY so much emphasis on brother Walke--Wm3 was Executor and had assets of brother Walke in his possession and says in will that Wm3 is in
failing health and worried that brother Walke's assets lost if Wm3 didn't emphasize protecting them. There was no Walke Moseley!

Abstract book of the will is in ERROR in naming widow as "Elizabeth", because his widow "Mary" is correctly named in original will.

!SOURCES: Blankenship, pages 297-317; Combs, pages 1-26; Walter charts.
Princess Anne Co VA court Min Bk 1: 403 on Jan 7, 1704/5 court preparing to give their portions now to two? Children of Capt Wm Moseley, dec'd, so age 18 or 20.

CHILDREN: His will in Pr Anne D B 1:225 mentions that Mary was child of his 1st wife blandina , and Pr Anne DB 2 : 184-6 of 7-8 dec 1713 Richd Moseley selling land mentions that his mother Blandina had 2 sons, 1 dtr: Wm older son and Richard younger son. Wm got maternal grandpa Richd Pooles land by primogeniture but sold it to Richard by deed in Pr Anne County. THERE IS NOTHING IN P. 184-6 that might justify Mrs. Walter's chart citing it next to an asserted marriage of dtr Mary to Benj Moseley. Mary is not even named on p.
184-6, just "daughter"."
