• Notes

  John Moon was born about 1755, probably in Albemarle County, Virginia, American Colony, along the Hardware River -- in the part that by 1810 became part of Fluvanna County. His father, William, had land on the Hardware, adjacent to land owned by his brother, Jacob, though Jacob sold his tract and moved to Bedford County, Virginia. He is named in his father William Moon's will, among William Moon, the father, and children Pleasant, William, Archer, John, Martha, Judah, Elizabeth, Salley, Mildred and Roxey. John Moon married Martha Sampson December 19, 1782, most likely in Cumberland County, Virginia, but no record has been found outside of family history. William Pleasant Moon is found on numerous Legislative petitions, along with his father-in-law, William Sampson. He is listed in the will of Martha's father, William Sampson, which was written in 1792 and not probated until 1803, in Halifax County, Virginia. In that will, he left to "my daughter Martha Moon, all the monies due me by her husband John Moon." Some have transcribed this will as John Moor and Martha Moor, but compared to other writings by the same Clerk of Court of Halifax County, Virginia, what people often transcribe as "Moor" is "Moon." Cumberland County, Virginia, contains legislative petitions from Cumberland County, beginning in 1776. William Sampson, John Moon, William Moon, Thomas Moon, Daniel North, Thomas North, William McKinney, Gilbert North, Isham Carter, Stephen Moon and many more signed petitions. Some of these men ended up as husbands of daughters of Archibald, John, William C. and Stephen Moon, in Charlotte County, and later moving to Halifax County. A Cumberland County deeds book lists William and John Moon having bought land from Moses Arnold in 1776. That land was sold to John Ford, in 1780. John Moon is found in 1784 purchasing land with William C Moon, with part of the agreement being, "This indenture, made this 28th day of October in the year one thousand seven hundred and eighty four, between William Samson of the county of Charlotte, party of one part, and William Moon and John Moon, both of the county aforesaid, parties of the other part, hath granted, bargained and sold property including land with all woods, underwood ways, swamps, low grounds, mines, minerals and all other advantages whatsoever with the Estate, right, title and interest, to have and to hold the said parcel of land to the said William Moon and John Moon. Signed sealed and delivered at a Court held in Charlotte County the 7th day of March 1785." William Sampson moved to Halifax in 1792, as there is a deed from William Sampson to Stephen and John Moon. In 1810, in Charlotte County, Virginia., "A return of the sale of John Moon dec'd made the 17th day of December 1825." Pleasant Moon, Jane Moon, Stephen Moon, Isham Moon and Archbald Moon are listed individually as having received household furnishings, cattle, farm equipment and land. Part of the record is "At a Court help for Charlotte County the 1st day of May 1826 ... This account of sales of the Estate of John Moon, deed made the 17th date of December 1825 was this day returned into court and ordered to be recorded. Teste. Winslow Robinson."

John Moon was present in Charlotte County Census' in 1810 and 1820, but absent in 1830. He had died in 1825, with his estate ordered to be appraised, which was done Dec 1825 and recorded at Charlotte County Courthouse in Jan 1826. All of his living children appear at the sale or his daughter's husbands attended. Before Dec 1825 John has died[Will Book 6 page 40] 1810 Federal Census Charlotte Co VA 3 males 10-16, 1 male over 45, 3 females 10-16 1 female over 45 [8] 1820 Census Charlotte Co VA show John Moon with 1 M 45 and 1 M over 45, and 1 female 45 and 1 female over 45. Most likely the female 45 is Jane, who was not married at the time of her father's estate sale. He lives adjacent to Pleasant Moon, son. [9] Charlotte County Virginia Register of Death's list John Moon as the father of Stephen Moon who died 23 Apr 1856 at the age of 69, information given by his son, Nathan Moon. [10] On the same day, Nathan also reported the death of his mother, Mary Sowell Moon, and of his mother who died on Nov 12 1856 age 60, and of his sister, Mary Hamlett, wife of John A. Hamlett, age 35, who died of measles on Nov 9 1856. NOTE: Beware there is another John Moon in Charlotte Co VA in the 1820 census. In 1803 was surety for William Johnson to Nancy Brewer, widow "Know all men by these presents that we William Johnson and John Moon are held firmly bound unto John Page esquire Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia in the sum of one hundred & fifty dollars to which payment will hereby to be made to the said Page & his successor for the use of the Commonwealth we bind ourselves our heirs & firmly by these presents sealed with our seals & dated this 15th day of October 1803 The condition of the above obligation is such that whereas there is a marriage intended to be solemnized between William Johnson and Nancy Brewer (widow) Therefore, Nancy Brewer, widow, did not marry John Moon, he was the surety for the marriage but she married William Johnson (my 6th great grandfather) in 1803 as his second wife. (I have a copy of the marriage bond, but I lost the lost citation)
