The info below indicates her maiden name is unproven.

Samuel Tatum "I"

Born: Estimated 1635 into early 1640's

Died before 12 July 1715, before his wife Mary

Married: Mary __

Parents: Nathaniel Tatum, the immigrant (1599 – 1674/75) + Ann __ Recommended reading on the immigrant is found in the book, "Tidewater Virginia Families," by Virginia Lee Hutcheson Davis, 1990, with reprints.

Family records: None identified at this time (27 October 2011)

Will: No, but had estate administration

Mary __

Born: Various estimates, but best 1640's and unconfirmed report born in South Somercotes, Lincolnshire County, England

Middle name sometimes reported to be "Elizabeth,” but no record mentions Mary "Elizabeth" Tatum. Believe "Elizabeth" confused with another Samuel Tatum's wife. Reported maiden name of Moore needs review.

Recorded in 1711, 1715 and reaffirmed within a 1718 deed

Died after husband but dates confused; probably on or before January 1716 in Prince George County, Virginia
Parents reported or suggested to be William Moore (~1592 England) and Katherine (maiden name unknown).
