notes

From Fulgham-Fulghum Family Database

John MOONE (c.1600 - 1655) He came to Virginia in the "Returne" in 1623 and was listed in the muster of James Citye on 30 January 1625. (It is noted that a ?Captain Moone?, perhaps a kinsman, skippered the Swallow in the Third Supply to Jamestown in 1609.) He was a member of the House of Burgesses in 1652. He bequeathed his plantation called "Red Point" to his daughter, Mary, and, through her, it came into the hands of her husband?s family and, ultimately, Thomas GREEN. His will was recorded 12 August 1655.

According to the Albemarle County Historical Society in Virginia, Stephen's father was Abraham Moon. Abraham was living in Gloucester County in 1654.
