Jas L. Mosley heir; Elbert Mosley; Benjamin Mosley; Dewit Mosley; John Wade Mosley;
Martha F. Booker; Sally Munford (or Mumford); Mary Page; Lucy Ann Frierson [or Friesen];
Littleberry Mosley, who first assigned his land to Merrit H. Booker. NOTE: The name of the
soldier is not stated in this document but related ones in Folder 2, Items 23-25, say this is
Littleberry Mosley of Powhatan Co., VA, and give two more children: Edward (who had no
interest in the claim) and Elizabeth Truehart, deceased. However, an initial scan of Powhatan
records, while having both Mosby and Mosley in their records, seem to indicate that this was
Col. Littleberry Mosby. However, the names Mosley and Mosby may still have been used
