About Elizabeth Moorman

Parentage disputed; Either-

  • (1) Christopher Reynolds and Elizabeth [NO]
  • (2) Thomas 'Renalls'

--------------------------------------------

Charles Moorman married Elizabeth Reynolds. There is some dispute as to whether she was the daughter of Christopher Reynolds and Elizabeth, or the daughter of Thomas “Renalls”, the recorded baptism dated 15 of March 1690-1691. The Louisa County court records simply identify Charles’ wife as Elizabeth. She died in 1763.

CHILDREN OF CHARLES MOORMAN & ELIZABETH (REYNOLDS):

  1. Thomas Moorman - born 04 Sep 1705; married Rachel (Clark), daughter of Christopher; died 10 Nov 1767.
  2. Anne Moorman - born in 1708 in Hanover Co., Virginia.
  3. Achilles Moorman - born 26 Oct 1713; married Elizabeth (Adams), daughter of Robert; died in Nov 1785.
  4. Judith Moorman - born in 1714; married John Douglas.
  5. Charles Moorman - born in 1715; married Mary (Adams), daughter of Robert; died in 1778.
  6. Mary Moorman - born 1716 in Green Springs, Virginia. (Anthony Roots & Branches list Mary as having married William Ballard whose 2nd wife was Rachel (Clark) Moorman, widow of Thomas. She lists their children as Thomas, Frances, Byrum, Delphia, Moorman, and David. Other researchers insist that William Ballard's first was Mary Byrum or Byrom, therefore I have not included this information.

Research Notes

from: Dick Baldauf's OBSERVATIONS edited by Linda Sparks Starr MAY 1996

First generation is Samuel SNEAD and Alice; they had three children (second generation) -- (1) Samuel who appears on the Pamunkey River 1664 as a neighbor of Wm. BASSETT; (2) William b. 1630; and (3) Susan who married by 1652 Thomas REYNOLDS.
Susan proposes that this Thomas and Susan (Snead) REYNOLDS had a son Thomas who was father of Elizabeth Reynolds who married Charles "M" MOORMAN (himself father of Thomas MOORMAN who married Rachel CLARK.) [Dick apparently found the Susan Snead marriage to Thomas Renalls by 1652 in _The Sneads in Fluvanna County_. I've asked for specifics <grin> Thus, without reading my REYNOLDS update, Susan came up with the same _probable_ father of Elizabeth that I did AND added yet another generation! Needless to say, this differs from Tillman's REYNOLDS genealogy and the general MOORMAN legend. LSS]
Susan, writing about earlier family connections with "our" bunch: "Susan Sneed who wed Thomas Renalls also becomes an integral figure. Note that the daughter of Capt. Christopher Clark and Penelope Johnson -- Rachel "M" born in 1714 married as her first husband Thomas Moorman in 1729/30. Thomas Moorman was the son of Charles and Elizabeth (Reynolds) Moorman. Bet this Elizabeth Reynolds is a descendant of Susan (Sneed) Renalls and her son is named after Susan's husband, Thomas Renalls...
