The DeJarnette book above made an error regarding the Moorman family. The author stated that Judith, wife of John DeJarnette, was the daughter of James C. & Judith Moorman. This is wrong. She was the daughter of Andrew & Judith Clark Moorman. Her sister Elizabeth married James Haden Moorman, a cousin of theirs. James C. Moorman was a brother to Judith and Elizabeth, and his wife was Jane Robinson.
