I’ve been given an undocumented statement that a John MORELAND, wife Ann and a Jesse MORELAND were all in Jefferson Co., Georgia in 1802 and that one of the men appeared on
jury duty there in 1797. If this is accurate, I believe this would be John MORELAND, son of Wright MORELAND of Goochland Co., Virginia. John married Ann OGILVY 16 Nov. 1775 in Goochland Co., Virginia and
their son Jesse Ogilvy MORELAND was born 18 June 1777.
I found the following in census and tax records:
1794 Warren Co., Georgia: John MOORELAND
1830 Wilkinson Co., Georgia: Jesse MORELAND
1830 Oldham Co., Kentucky: Jesse MORELAND, John MORELAND, Walter A. MORELAND
1830 Jackson Co., Tennessee: Jesse MORELAND, John MORELAND, John MORELAND
1832 Jackson Co., Tennessee: Jesse MORELAND, John MORELAND
1830 Wayne Co., Kentucky: Dudly MORELAND, Jacob MORELAND, Jesse MORELAND, John MORELAND
Does anyone have any additional information about Jesse, John and Ann MORELAND in Georgia or elsewhere?

Dear
Nona:
Response to my letters of inquiry
to persons you suggested was disappointing. While they were most generous in sharing
information with me, either I already had the information they sent or it did
not pertain to the branch of the family I am seeking. One exception was land records for Evan Moreland reported by Marietta Lord, Promise City, Iowa.
However, finding many of the same
MorLAns
and Bransons (intermarried with my MorLans)
in both Hawkins County, Tennessee, in 1830 and Putnam and Parke Counties, Indiana, in 1840 and 1850, 1 decided to concentrate my
search for Evan and Dolly MorLan there.
The Hawkins County Historical Society suggested I write a Shirley
Straley in Clinton, Indiana, descended from Benoni, of Hawkins County, Tennessee, and Parke Co., Indiana. She sent
records of the Rocky Fork Baptist Church in Parke County, Indiana, to which Evan and Dolly belonged, along with my father's maternal grandparents and
their families and my grandfather's first wife.
Early in my search for my Morelands I found a
record of the marriage of Benjamin Morland and Kesiah
Harvy in Bedford County, Virginia, on 6 September 1794, Evan Harvy, surety. Evan Morlan, born in East Tennessee in 1804 of
Virginia parentage, had a daughter named Kesiah. The church records Mrs. Straley sent list Benjamin Moreland and Kesiah
Morelan
as members, but they were identified as dead before 1863; the other Morelands
left to start a new church in 1853.
According to census records Benjamin
was 40-50 in 1830 Hawkins Co., Tennessee) but 60-70 in 1840 (Parke Co.) I think there is a
link, but how can I prove it? I'll try
to find a will in Indiana.
Mrs.
Straley sent a copy of a 1989 letter
from a Sheilagh Morlan, who lived in Seattle.
She must have married; I've been unable to locate her. She is also a descendant of Evan and in 1989 was also pursuing the Evan-Benjamin connection.
Sincerely,
Barbara

Memoirs of Louisiana
Honorable
William F. MORELAND, planter, was born in Putnam
Co., Georgia September 26, 1816, and, past the age usually
allotted to man is in possession of a competency. He was the seventh in a
family of eleven children. The father of these children, Isaac MORELAND, was born and reared in
Dinwiddie Co., Virginia, and was a son of Thomas MORELAND who owned the land where a portion of
Petersburg now stands. The MORELAND
family were originally from England. The mother of the above mentioned children, Nancy (TURNER)
MORELAND, was born in Dinwiddie Co.,
Virginia, and was a classmate of General Winfield SCOTT in his early educational career. Experience
has been Mr. MORELAND’s school and
that he has made the most of it can not be questioned. He was thrown upon his
own resources, practically taking care of his own affairs at the age of
fourteen, and came to Claiborne Parish in 1853 locating where he now lives. He
was first married in 1839 to Miss Susan
L. FERRELL, daughter of Bennett FERRELL of Jackson Co., Florida. She died in Macon Co., Alabama in 1849. In
January 1852, Mr. MORELAND was
married to Miss Elizabeth WHITE, daughter of James WHITE, of Sumter Co., Georgia, and unto them were born six children. (1) Sidney T. MORELAND (now a resident of Lexington, Virginia, and professor of physics in Washington and Lee
University of that place). (2) Isaac N.
MORELAND (a resident of Claiborne Parish). (3) William W. MORELAND (married and residing on the old home place).
(4) F. Kate MORELAND (at home). (5) Ida S. MORELAND (also at home) and (6) Lelia M. MORELAND (now Mrs. James
G. MEADOWS of Tennessee). Mr. MORELAND
has been a conspicuous man in the interests of his Parish, and was elected to
the legislature in 1859, serving four years. After the war he was re-elected to
the house and served until the reconstruction. He was again elected to that
position and served one term. In 1879 he was a member of the constitutional
convention, and since that time he has declined office of any kind. He was for
many years an active member of the Masonic fraternity, and has been a worthy
member of the Methodist Episcopal church South circa 1840. He is progressive in
his ideas and tendencies, and has been a representative man in the community.
