    Notes:

    Edward Moss was the first Moss to emigrate to America. His name was first
    recorded in the York County, Virginia Court in 1625. However, other references
    give a much later date of 1644 for is residence in York County, Virginia. The
    most logical explanation for the difference in dates is that Edward Moss, being
    only 15 when first coming to America, may have returned to the colony of
    Virginia during the English Civil War (1642-1649), where he lived only a short
    time before his death.

    Little else is known about Edward Moss except that he was a member of the
    Anglican church.

    The exact number of children born to Edward and Ann (Belt) Moss is uncertain.

    On 20 November 1654, the sons of Edward, the immigrant, -- William, Thomas, and
    Robert - were given a grant of 800 acres in Old Rappahonnock County (now
    Lancaster), Virginia, for transporting 16 persons to the Virginia County.
