• Notes

  William Moss came to America in 1644 with his father Edward and his three brothers Edward, Robert and Thomas. They settled in York County, Virginia. William returned to England to be educated at Oxford University. William returned to America in 1653 with his brothers Robert and Thomas. They were given a grant of 800 acres located on the south side of the Rappahonnock River in Old Rappahonnock County, on November 20, 1654 for transporting sixteen persons to the colony of Virginia. William gained additional property in Old Rappahonnock County. At the time of his death, William owned approximately three thousand acres of land. On April 21, 1685, William wrote his will, naming his son as executor of his estate. He gave 1600 acres of land to his son, and much land, slaves, animals, and household furnishings to his two daughters. Elias Wilson, Thomas Neu and William's brother Robert signed William's will. ---------- Reference: RootsL, Scott A. McElfresh, 1994.
