William Moseley

(29 Mar 1733 - )



William was baptized 8 Apr 1733, Christ Church Parish.

Married Keziah Overstreet, 18 Nov 1772, Goochland
Married Ann Lewis, 1775 Goochland
It is obvious that William did not marry both of these ladies - there were two William/Will Moseleys at St. James Northam. Births of the children overlap. I do not know which William was the son of Marvel - the alternate William who married Ann Lewis, could have been the son of John Moseley Jr who was born likely a year or two after John Moseley married Ann Williams, 1751.

There was a deed in 1780 that states "William, son of Marvel" and goes on to cite his wife as Keziah.

Children baptized at St. James Northam, Goochland:
William Mosely & Keziah Overstreet, daughter Betsy, born 10 Jan 1773 and baptized 3 May 1773

Not only was the son of Will & Ann named Edward born in October 1776 but Will & Keziah were have a daughter born in December of 1776. Also both couples named a daughter Betsy.
