>Jan, thanks for the e-mail response to my query. You and one other person
responded.
>I have received through the mail, a 70 page packet of information compiled
by other Moseley families and their relatives; along with a report from a
lady hired to do a professional research for someone in the family wanting
to apply for a membership in the DAR. This information, along with other
familes genealogy was used to publish a book on the Moseley family.
>I have not had time to go through all the information but have a page, The
History of The Moseley Family. She typed the following:
>Lord Moseley defended and offered his castle as an asylum to King Charles I
before he was beheaded. For six months he was a resident of Lord Moseley's
castle. Later on it seems that Lord Moseley had no male descendants and had
but two daughters. These daughters married an their husbands regained their
wives names. The oldest daughter, as was the law then in England, became
the possessor of all of the property. She was the forerunner of the present
Moseley
>family in England, the latest of whom is Sir Ogden Moseley, who is a
present a member of Parliament representing the Socialist Party. This
research was done in 1980.
>
>1. There were no dates given. I assume it would be in the 15th or 16th
Century?
> How would one find the information on the men the two girls married. ie.
> The men's names, birth, death etc.
>
>2. How would one find the names of the two daughters?
>
>The report states further: The younger sister was the mother of three boys.
Those three boys, being independent, and not wishing to live on the money
granted by their aunt in 1637 migrated to Virginia and settled in Jamestown,
Virginia U. S. A..
