Samuel Moffet (M)
Pop-up Pedigree

     Samuel was born at Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland. Samuel Mophet of Ayr, Scotland, who became involved in the Convenanter uprising against the King in 1679, at Bothwell's Bridge, and had to flee to Ireland. According to James R. Moffatt's history of William & Barbara Chestnut Moffatt, published in the 1930s, Samuel Mophet was the great grandfather of William. Because of his participation in the Covenanter uprising against the king at Bothwell's Bridge on 22 Jun 1679, Samuel had to flee from Scotland to Ireland. His wife and son William remained in Scotland. He remained in Ireland a generation; then he and probably his son William and grandson Samuel emigrated to Woodbridge, NJ. Is it possible that they were encouraged to do so by another Moffat already there? One Jean Moffat was "transported" from Scotland to Woodbridge in 1685, arriving on the "Henry and Francis of Newcastle" which sailed from Leith; it is recorded that he left a letter protesting his banishment. Excerpt of Moffattana by George West Mofat "The Moffatts originated at Moffatt, Scotland. The first mention of the name was in 1066, when the Norwegian Knight, William de Moffett came over with William the Conqueror, into England. Nicholdi de Moffett became Bishop of Glasgow in 1268. In 1296 Robert de Moffett and Thomas Moffett of Dumfrieshire did homage to King Edward I of England. In time of war the Moffatt Clan served under King Robert the Bruce 1274 - 1329. From 1547 to 1587 as shown by Parliament records, the Moffatts had become a numerous and powerful border Clan of Scotland. Upon the muster rolls of Ulster about 1630 there where seven Morphets and one Moffett. In 1650 Margaret Moffett was executed for witchcraft. As the Moffatts were Presbyterians or Convenanters during the persecution along 1680 and 1690, they were driven from Scotland into Ireland. In less than fifty years after this, they began emigrating to America. From 1729 to 1780 on account of high rents, bad crops and religious unpleasantness, many more of them came to America. Many Moffatts came over direct from Scotland and many from England. David Livingston married a Moffatt and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller was a Moffatt." If Mrs. John D. Rockefeller was a Moffatt, her maiden was not, nor I have found any indication that she was even a Moffatt descendant. He was the son of Samuel Moffat. Information that Samuel and William were brothers was provided by Elizabeth Dickey. Samuel died at Ireland.

William Moffet (M)
d. 1710
Pop-up Pedigree

     William was born at Dumfriesshire, Scotland. While his father was forced to flee from Scotland to Ireland because of his participation in the Covenanter uprising against the King at Bothwell's Bridge in 1679, William remained in Scotland with his family throughout his life. This William is indicated in the account researched by the descendants of grandson William Moffatt and Barbara Chestnut, who state that he was the great grandson of the Samuel who fought at Bothwell's Bridge. However, the descendants of Rev John Moffat leave out this generation, claiming that records indicate that John (brother of the Wm who married Barbara Chestnut) was the grandson of Samuel. He was the son of Samuel Moffet. William died in 1710.
