2. Samuel MORELAND, b. abt. 1850 – Missouri– living in California when parents died
2. Thornton MORELAND, b. abt. 1855 – Missouri – living in California when parents died
According to (cemetery?) records my mother saw in the early 1970s, Richard MORELAND’s parents were James MORELAND, b. Virginia and Nancy CROOKS, b. Virginia.
Related, but I’m not sure of exact relationship to Richard MORELAND (b. 1814 Virginia), are the following two men:
Thornton MORELAND, b. 1800 in Virginia; d. 1872 in Van Buren Co., Iowa. Cemetery record states that tombstone was purchased by “his brother Richard MORELAND.” This Thornton is listed as living in the household of Richard and Sarah MORELAND in the 1860 Scotland Co, Missouri, census, and the 1870 Van Buren Co, Iowa, census. (I have not seen earlier censuses as yet.)
1. Edgar W. MORELAND, b. abt. 1831 in Kentucky.; (My mother has a letter from one of Edgar’s grandsons stating that Edgar W. MORELAND was the brother of Richard MORELAND (b. 1814 – Virginia) and that Edgar W. MORELAND was b. in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky.) (But, if Thornton & Edgar were brothers, there is a 31 year gap between them. I’m wondering if Thornton (1800-1872) was Richard’s uncle instead.)

ch. include:
2. Nancy Ellen MORELAND, b. 26 Jun 1865 – Missouri; d. 25, July 1939 – Farmington, Iowa; m. John HASSLER
3. Margaret HASSLER; m. Stanley HOUSEHOLDER
3. Vern HASSLER
3. Lynn HASSLER
3. Christina HASSLER
2. Fannie MORELAND, b. abt. 1873 - Missouri
sp. 2) Joanna (ALFREY)
In the 1860 Miller Twp. Scotland Co., Missouri, census, Richard & Sarah SMITH MORELAND, and Thornton (b. 1800), and Sarah’s parents & at least some siblings are listed. Living nearby is an “Edgar MORELAND” with wife Martha and five children. I believe this is the Edgar W. MORELAND who was the father of Nancy Ellen MORELAND HASSLER.
Deeds in Van Buren Co., Iowa, note that Richard MORELAND made several land purchases before 1840. According to the ages & birth places of their youngest two sons, Richard & Sarah SMITH MORELAND were living in Missouri by 1850. (Van Buren Co., Iowa, borders Clark and Scotland Counties in Missouri.)
Richard, Thornton (1800-1872), Edgar W., Richard’s son Samuel, and son-in-law, Daniel BUSHELL are listed in censuses as being “carpenters” or “plasterers.”

Early Morelands in Maryland: A Book
Hi NonaI ordered a batch of back copies of the Moreland Muster earlier this week and they arrived on Saturday! What fast work! Thank you!I have noticed in some of the older copies that there are errors here and there on a line that I have been studying. There is a new book available on the early Morelands of southern Maryland that other researchers might be interested in. Morelands were in Maryland from the end of the 1600's onward and many left Maryland after the Revolutionary War because land was pricey and taxes were high. Many of them went to Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, Ohio, and Missouri. This book can be purchased by mailing a check in the amount of $19 [includes postage] to Ralph Smith, 4238 S. Peninsula Drive, Port Orange, Florida 32127-6618. It is extremely well-documented and covers the Morelands in Maryland and DC up until about 1800. He is currently working on Vol.II which will show their migrations from Maryland to other states. It's a "must-read" for Moreland researchers!Just thought I would pass this information along,Sharon Myers
