Dear
Charles,
I
noted with interest your excellent analysis of the two(2) John MORELANDs
in The Moreland Muster, Volume VII,
Issue 3, Summer 94. You asked for some
feedback.
At
long last I have had an opportunity to take a personal look at the various
Census records involved, and wanted to let you know that I agree with your
conclusions 100%. I am convinced that it
was not Dudley's son John that married Nancy Swanger in Carter County, Tennessee and have corrected my database accordingly.
I
did get into the National Society of the Sons of The American Revolution
through Dudley MORELAND. Several BRUMITs
have such service, but at this point I have not been able to establish connection.
That
is about it for the moment. Kind
personal regards and all good wishes.
Cordially,
Joseph
L. Brumit

NOTES OF LOUISE PAYNE
There
are records of several MORELANDs who
came to America from England, Ireland and Scotland. They very likely came from
a single line, entering the British Isles at earlier date. Thomas MORELAND (1602) came to the colony of Virginia in the
“Abigail” in 1621. John MORELAND of England came to Prince George Co., Virginia about 1720. He or another John MORELAND of England was
a clergyman and the ancestor of many of the Georgia MORELANDs. Joseph MORELAND of Petersburg, Virginia went to Putnam Co., Georgia and some of his descendants came to Louisiana.
James MORELAND of Glasgow, Scotland came to New York and later to Norfolk, Virginia. Andrew MORELAND of Belfast, Ireland had a son, Andrew, who came to the Ashley River section near Charleston, South
Carolina. Of this
line is Rev. William Hall MORELAND who was a bishop for 47 years, retired as
Bishop of Northern California, Thomas
MORELAND.
Since
the parentage of William Capers MORELAND has not been definitely established it is not
known to which, if either of the above lines, he belongs. His middle name Capers may have been for Bishop CAPERS of South Carolina. There was a William B. MORELAND living in or near Salem, Georgia from 1822-1834 according to deed records in
the record book M, pages 297-8, 373, 514; book O pages 34, 35 and book Q page
283 at Clarke County Courthouse, Athens, Georgia. His
home place was sold in 1834.
W.
H. Paxton, D.D. has this to say of William
C. MORELAND in his History of the
Baptists in Louisiana: William C.
MORELAND was born in Clarke Co., Georgia, September 30, 1824. At age 12 he
was converted and joined the Methodist. He had a call to the ministry. In 1845
he was ordained and joined the Methodist Conference and traveled for three
years until ill health and removed to Louisiana. He
entered land in Twp. 21, Range 6 of Claiborne Parish in 1843-49. He taught
school in Homer, Louisiana in 1858 during his pastorate of the Methodist Church
there.
The
parents of William Capers MORELAND
are not known, he was born 30 Sept. 1824 Clarke Co., Georgia (two other births
given elsewhere as 1796 and 1812) died 8 August or 9 Nov. 1888 age 92, buried
Mt. Lebanon, Louisiana; married 24 Dec. 1824 to Annie Thornton WILLISwho
was born 18 Mar. 1825, daughter of Joshua
WILLIS.
Sally Thornton MORELAND born 31 Aug. 1845; married 1 Dec. 1872 to Charles Wesley HANNER.
Joshua Fisk MORELAND born 6 Nov. 1846, think he married first a GLOVER,
second a WOODS.
Joseph Pliny MORELAND born 31 Aug. 1845 or 1848; married a GLOVER.
Kitty MORELAND born c1852; died 1891; married Lorenzo B. HAMMER.

settled in Prince George Co., Virginia. John MORELAND also lived in Prince George Co., Virginia. His
