Charles MOORMAN (1767-1830) of Georgia By Douglas Tucker NOV 1998 The whereabouts and family of Charles Moorman (1767-1830), second son of Benjamin and Lucy Haley Moorman, has been a bit on an enigma. According to Quaker records (Cane Creek and Wrightsville) Charles went to Georgia with his widowed mother and three sisters in 1786, four years after Benjamin died in Richmond Co., NC. Charles Moorman was unmarried when he applied for 200 acres of headright land on 4 Dec 1786 Washington Co., GA. (His patent, listed in the records as "Charles Moman" was listed adjacent to one by William Massey -- same date, same location.) If Charles had been married he could have applied for 300 acres. Charles acquired additional headright land in Washington Co. in 1801 and was a participant in a land lottery in 1805 which indicated that he was both married and had children as of that date. Laurens Co. was split from Washington Co. in 1807 and the land in question fell in Laurens Co., just south of Present-day Dublin. Charles Moorman was married at least twice and the age-spread of his children suggests that he may have had three wives. The only wife I have a name for was his last wife, Elizabeth Nichols, who Charles married in 1819 in Dublin, GA. However, based on Charles Moorman's 1830 will, he had three older sons, Benjamin who was born before 1800, William B.(1800-1864) and Thomas Jefferson (1818-1849). I do not think Thomas J. was a son of Elizabeth Nichols, but the timing is close. However, I also do not think that Thomas J. was the son of the same woman who was the mother of Ben and William. Willliam was 18 years older than Thomas. Elizabeth and Charles has three daughters after they married in 1819. They were Roxanna Jane Moorman, Lucia Ann Haley Moorman, and Amanda Moorman. There may have been other children, but the above are the only ones mentioned in Charles' will, and probably the oly ones still alive in 1830. I have yet to find the names of some of the spouses of Charles Moorman's children and grandchildren. Those that I do know are listed below. The published sources are marriage records of Washington, Johnson and Laurens Cos. GA, and cemetary records for the same three counties. My information on the descendants of David J.

Sowhere in this gagle of Laurens Co., Georgia Moormans there also must be room for a Rebecca Moorman (probably 3rd generation) who married William G. Wright in 1849. She appears to have been a descendant of Charles' son Benjamin whose family remains a mystery. Maybe someone can add to this list. Doug Tucker dougtucker@erols.com
