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.
