Judith Moon is cited in James Reeves Will of 1781. Therefore due to the age discrepancy and that she is cited in the will of James Reeves. I do not believe THIS Judith's parents are Mendenhall. This is a direct ancestor for me so I would be happy to see sources that prove.
I questioned the validity of the Mendenhall relationship back when I first edited the profile

If you have sources so we may get the profile correct I can add you to trusted list

Please correct this profile when you have a moment. She should also be merged with Reeves-586.

(There's no souce for her death I can find other than Ancestry trees.)

Regarding the source "A Genealogy of the Descendents of Elijah Mendenhall [....]," does the specified chart on the specified page state that Judith Mendenhall married Simon Moon? It doesn't seem like anyone has a real source for her maiden name.

Also, I know that the Quaker Encylopedia of Genealogy has her birth year as 1753, but I wonder if that's an error. Her oldest child was born in 1767. Very unusual for a Quaker woman to marry and procreate at such a young age.
