NOTE.

In 1858 Mrs. Mildred Campbell, the mother of Charles Campbell, the Virgnian Historian, and I examined the papers of our common ancestor, Colonel Willam Aylett, of "Fairfield", King William county, Va. Col. Aylett represented his county in the House of Burgesses from Feb. 10th, 1772 to May 26, 1774, and was a member of the celebrated Convention, which met in Williamsburg, in May, 1776. On the 22nd of that month, he resigned his seat, to accept the Commission of "Deputy Commissary General of the Forces in Virginia". He was promoted, and died, when about thirty-eight year old, in the service of the United States, as "Deputy Commissary General of the Southern Department". He was taken suddenly sick in Yorktown, and made his will the 12th of April, 1780; and died that day or the next.

Mrs. Campbell and I found among Col. Aylett's papers a packet containing the above will of Mrs. Macon, the will of her father, Col. Augustine Moore, of "Chelsea", and a memorandum in the handwriting of Col. Aylett, which reads thus: "Collo. Augustine moore of Chelsea was the son of a sister of Basil, the son of Thomas Moore who married a daughter of Sir Basil Brooke". _______________________________________________________ (1)Bartholomew Dandridge m. 1st Elizabeth Macon, eldest child of Col. James and Elizabeth Macon. Col. Augustine Moore mentions in his will, dated 20th January, 1742, his grand- daughter Elizabeth Macon. Dandridge married 2nd Mary, daughter of Julius King Burbidge. QUARTERLY V., p. 36, VI., 250. His daughter Anne by the first marriage married William Dandridge Claiborne.
