Research Notes

• Note from old, unconfirmed research on her daughter Rebecca Johnston Moseley's sources. Hoping to confirm this information through other sources.

Note: From an email ~ Rebecca Johnston Moseley's parents were William Johnston and Rebecca Moseley. William and Rebecca had four children that I know of. 1. Amy Johnston who married first a William Garrett and second to Edmund Gilbert. 2. Malcolm Johnston who married Catherine Davenport 3. John Johnston 4. Rebecca Johnston who married a William Moseley. Rebecca Moseley Johnston( the mother) outlived her husband William Johnston. They had moved to Hancock/ Greene Co Ga after the Rev War. When William died she returned to Charlotte Co VA. She then married a Richard Davenport. I suspect that this Richard Davenport is in the same family as her daughter in law, Catherine's family. Rebecca's daughter who is also named Rebecca (child 4) returned with her mom to VA and married a William Moseley.
