John and Ann Moberly
John Moberly b about 1657-8 England died 1727 Prince George's Co, MD. John may have been from the Parish of Mobberley in Cheshire, England perhaps by way of Barbados. The births of his five sons are in the records of All Hallows, South River Parish, Ann Arundel Co MD as early as 1688 and moved to Prince George's Co, MD by the early 1700's, where John and Elizabeth were members of St. Barnabas Church. A Deed of Gifts of branded or otherwise marked livestock is reported to have been made in March 1708 to Elizabeth Roberson/Robinson and third on Feb 28, 1716 in Prince George MD to Mrs. Susannah (Hyatt) Scaggs, widow of Aaron Scaggs. Susannah was married third on Nov 6, 1728 in Prince George Co MD to Henry Boulton. The second and third marriages of John and the third marriage of Susannah are recorded in the Prince Georges Co MD, Queen Anne Parish Original Register 1686-1777.
Ann b about 1666 died 1699-1707 MD,. It has been suggested that Ann, the first wife of John Moberly and named as the mother of his sons, bore the given names of Elizabeth Ann and was the Elizabeth Woods who married John Mobberly in Frodsham Parish, Cheshire England on Oct 21, 1686. Positive evidence that Elizabeth (Woods) Mobberly wasthe same person as Mrs. Ann Moberly of Ann Arundel, MD is desired.

Edward Moberly, b May 13, 1696 All Hallows, South River Parish, Ann Arundel Co MD, died Fairfield Co SC. Birth date based on his being the son of John Mobberly and Ann.His death date has been reported as late as 1787 with uncertainly remaining that Edward Moberly, son of John and Ann Mobberly, the same person as Edward Moberly, father of Clement Moberly. Edward may, instead have been the son of Edward Moberly, the schoolmaster, and his wife Rachel. This Edward, together with sons and sons in law are found in tax lists in Lunenburg Co VA 1748-52. The family moved to Craven Co, SC between 1756 and 1760. According to evidence reported in Mobley's in America, Edward was probably married three times, his first wife being the unknown mother of probably all of his children except the youngest two. Edward's first wife died before 1741, and he married second Anne (d between 1747 and 1751, probably in Luneburg Co VA), probably the mother of Elizabeth and Keziah. Edward was married third between 1747 and 1751 to Susannah DuVall (b 1702MD d June 14, 1769) Fairfield Co Camden District SC (Chapman Family Bible) It has ben suggested that Susannah was the daughter of Lewis DuVall and granddaughter of Huguenot immigrant Mareen DuVall. However, unverified sources indicated that Susannah, daughter of Lewis DuVall, never married. Edward married first about 1718 in Prince George Co, MD.
