2nd Marriage to Mozingo

It is unknown whether Selah and Booth/Boothe had any children together.

From property records, she was still married to Simon House after 1810:

JOHNSTON/DOBBS/LENOIR COUNTIES GRANTOR INDEX - BOOK 24, LENOIR County, Creech, Williams & Wife to Celia House, p 347.[citation needed] - as cited by Samie Melton.

And, by 1820, she was married, and apparently widowed, by Mozingo:

Some ascribe the following children to Booth and an unknown spouse:[citation needed]

  1. Lewis Mozingo (ca. 1775-1831)
  2. Sarah Alley Mozingo (ca. 1780-1850)

Selah Parrot was b/ca1770, daughter of John Parrott d/1791 and Elizabeth Oxley Parrott.

Selah was b/ca1770, daughter of John Parrott d/1791 and Elizabeth Oxley Parrott.

They moved from Bertie County to Dobbs County in the 1760's. John got a land grant of some nature for fighting in the Revolutionary War. Selah 1st husband was Simon House who died before 1817, and her second husband was Boothe Mozingo.

She had a daughter Elizabeth who married an a Waters. Daughter Penelope who married a Benjamin Creech. Son Joshua House. Daughter Celia who married a Harrison. Daughter Susan who married a Canady I think his first name was Joshua. I am not sure of the maiden names of the daughters. But, I can not agree with James Creech that Louise Mozingo married Benjamin Creech, since Selah's will spells out a Penelope Creech. Her will does not even mention a Louise as a daughter. So Louise could have been a middle name and her favorite name. Three of John Parrott's sons and brothers of Selah went to Darlington County South Carolina and settled there. One brother, Jacob, went back to the Kinston are of N.C. with his family. Don
