Researching the family of William and Elizabeth MOSS, will dated Sept. 30,

of New Kent County. Their daughter Ann is said to have married an Oslyn.

Another daughter Tibitha married a Stovall. In addition to James there was a

son Thomas and a William. I wish further information regarding each of these

family members. Any help appreciated. Arlina
