MORELAND RESEARCH
from C.E. Moreland
15508 Saranac Dr.
Whittier, CA 90604

I recently bought a book called Colonial Records of Virginia. This info was originally published in 1874 and reprinted several times - the last by Clearfield.

I was always curious as to what happened to Thomas MORELAND - the one who sailed from England for Virginia in 1621 on the “Abigail” with Ralph HOODE, both being servants of Robert THESHER. This is the same Thomas who was the subject of several letters from Muster subscribers. Irene Carl said he was killed in the great massacre of 1622 - and that another Thomas MORELAND appeared in Virginia in 1624. Another said he married Elizabeth BAYLEY - this is one I have strong doubts about. Mr. Knight from Georgia said he was born on the Isle of Wight, England and died in the Grafton District of York Co., Virginia at the age of 61. We know there is a record of Thomas MORELAND buying land that once belonged to Elizabeth BAYLEY and her husband in Chiskiacke, Charles River (York) County, Virginia. The record dated 5 March 1648.

The book mentioned above contains three lists of Virginia colonists:

1. A list of names of those massacred on March 22, 1622 - 347 victims.
2. A list of those who died since April of 1622 or AFTER THE MASSACRE - 371 names.

3. A list of those living on Feb. 16th, 1623 (after the massacre) - 1277 names.

The following contains only names similar to MORELAND or names on some families that I have done research on in Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee. All names are shown in the book, but I only list the few mentioned above. Note that Thomas MORELAND’s name does not appear anywhere. He may be on later lists that I am looking for. These lists came from the first volume of the McDonald papers as copied from the Public Record of Great Britain.

Note that although Robert THESHER (THRESHER?) is shown in the list of living at Elizabeth Cittie, his two servants who sailed with him on the “Abigail” are nowhere to be found. I assume they arrived before the massacre, so I suppose they could have perished before these lists were made, but I doubt it.





“Here following is fet downe a true lift of the names of all thofe that were maffacred by the treachery of the Sauages in Virginia, the 22nd of March laft.”

WASHINGTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Death Record Abstracts
1908-1916
by Eddie M. Nikazy

This informative volume contains abstracts of death records for Washington County, Tennessee, for the years 1908-1916. Washington County was established in 1777 as a part of the territory south of the Ohio River, and is “one of the most important early East Tennessee counties.” The original county comprised almost the entire eastern half of the current state of Tennessee.

Many entries are for descendants of the original pioneer families who settled Washington County. Names are listed according to the death record number (which correspond to the official death record number on file at the Tennessee State Archives).
