Third Moss Generation

Little is known about Richard Moss (5) other than he was born, married, and died in England.  Recent genealogical findings indicate that Richard was probably born in Lancashire County, England around 1580.  He married Ann Sherratt (6) in England around 1605 and there were three sons from this marriage.  They were Robert (7), Richard (8), and Edward (9).  Information about Richard (5) is found in  http://wicasta.com/genealogy/getperson.php?personID-I2554&tree-1.

While Richard (5) lived and died in England, all of his sons came to America around 1630s.  Information from George Green’s book “Early Immigrants to Virginia 1623-1666” suggest that Richard (8) may have been transported from England to York County, VA in 1651 by Arthur Price.

Perhaps of some interest is the observation by some researchers that Richard Moss was known as Sir Richard Moss.  So far this has not been officially established.  See comment in Generation 5.
