I found the following online - if Thomas moved to Caroline, he must have continued to keep a residence in Louisa Co. Perhaps they did not move as early as suggested.
About 1746 Thomas and Rachel moved to Caroline Co where they were members of the Golansville Monthly Meeting. In 1762, Thomas bought 200 acres on Tomahawk Creek and moved there.

They transferred to South River Meeting: "Thomas and Rachel Moorman having removed from under our care and within the verge of your Meeting, requested a recommendation to you. After due care we do not find but that he has settled his worldly affairs to satisfaction and they have always been esteemed as orderly persons and held in good unity among us." Signed in behalf of the Meeting by Samuel Hargrave, Clerk.

Thomas Moorman's Will was dated 2 Jul 1765, witnessed by Henry Tate, William Anthony, and Christopher Anthony. Executors were wife Rachel and sons Zachariah and Micajah. His death was recorded in the Friends records.

Buried South River Quaker Cemetery.
