Biography

Born
William Mobberly, usually considered the oldest son of Edward Mobberly, was born about 1718 in Maryland. In 1741 or 1742 in Prince George's County, Maryland he signed a petition to have the county split into a new Parish (and new county). His brother Clement and their father Edward also signed the petition.[1][2] In order to sign the petition, both William and Clement had to be at least 21 years of age.[3]

Died
20 December 1766, Fairfield, South Carolina, USA.

Moberley-27 and Moberly-486 appear to represent the same person because: William Moberly is in my family tree that has been passed down a few generations. It looks like the name has some variation. There are three variations in my tree. My tree shows him married to Ann Osborne born around 1725. I think this is the same person.
