From Edward Moss-6215’s profile: "Edward Moss wrote his will in 1715 & it was proved the following year in York Co. In it he names his son Benjamin as his executor & mentions Benjamin's son, Benjamin, his grandson. Other children named were sons Wm & John; and daughters Elizabeth Tabb & Ann Phillips. Wm Armistead [William Ellison Armistead-122 (6/13/1671-1715 Eliz. City Co., VA0] was named as his son-in-law, with his wife Rebecca [Rebecca Moss-1024 (c.1672 - c. 1755); Rebecca Moss-5218 (1675-1758)] & their child, Moss Armistead. witness were John Chapman, Wm Gordon [William Gordon; connected to Lancaster Co., VA merchant James Gordon?], John Chisman & Edward Wright.”
Connection of John Miller (1736-1782) to James Miller (D-1656 York Co., VA) & Robert Miller (D-1693 Eliz. City Co., VA) via Edward Moss and Armisteads:
My 4th great grandfather, John Miller's (1736-1782) 2nd wife was Anne Armistead (1746-1772). Anne’s mother, Jane Moss was the granddaughter of Edward Moss (1637-1716). Jane Moss’ mother was Elizabeth Moore (1678-1737) whose father was the brother of Augustine Moore, Jr. (1650-c.1705, both in Eliz. City Co., VA). Robert Miller (D-1693) noted Augustine Moore, Jr. as his God-son in Robert Miller’s will.
Anne Armistead (1746-1772) was also related to Edward Moss (1637-1716) on her father’s side. Anne’s grandparents were William Armistead (1671-1715) & Rebecca Moss, the daughter of Edward Moss (1637 -1716).
Noted link below, Edward Moss, William Pattison, and John Hothersall appraised the estate of York Co., VA merchant, Johnathan Newell in 1672. James Miller, Jr. notes John Hothersall as one of the persons overseeing his will; and William Pattison (as “sonn”) is noted in James Miller, Sr.’s 1656 will (so I assume William Pattison may have married one of James Miller, Sr.’s daughters (sister to James Miller, Jr.).
