Re: MOFFATT families from Cornwall

jasper88 — 2009-11-10 18:16:10Z

Greetings,

Lucy Moffatt's sister, Ann, married George Thomas and they immigrated to the USA. George was a mine captain in the 1860s at the Cliff mine in the upper peninsula of Michigan and they later farmed in Indiana. She seems to have died 3 Nov 1915 in Barton, Missouri. There seems to have had been a number of grandchildren so likely there are descendents today from her line.

Re: Moffatts (Moffetts) from Saintfield County Down Ireland

EdithGoodrich1 — 2009-09-30 16:02:28Z

My Moffatts (Moffetts)according to my mother came from Derry Down.I have wondered if they came from Saintville as their son Thomas Moffatt, settled in Saintville Ont Canada, he married Rebecca Ireland. Thomas B 1833 Liverpool came to Toronto Canada abt 1838/38 with his parents both born Ireland Bristow Moffatt(shoemaker)& Mary Ann Young (Yonge).Their son Richard Ketcheson Moffett was a soldier in the Spanish American War and settled in Rochester N.Y. His grandson Richard Moffett did a DNA with only a Match to the Barnum Family. Have you tried this Route?

Re: William and Barbara Moffatt

EdithGoodrich1 — 2009-09-29 19:38:03Z

Hi Kathy
The Burnham Moffatt Genealogy is of interest as my Richard Moffett cousin's DNA relates so far only to a Burnham Family, his GGGrandfather born 1809 Ireland was Bristow Moffatt and came to Canada 1838/39,all our family of 6 children have been named after relatives except we were never able to find out who our oldest sister Barbara was named after.
Maybe you can help tell if there is any connection shown in your flimsy's

Sincerely Van Goodrich

prettypatti1 — 2009-09-22 19:16:22Z

Am searching for my Grandfather's family. Charles was born in Bear River, Nova Scotia 8-3-1870. His Parents were Wallace Moffatt and Mary McCauley,or McCulley. I have found this family in the 1871,81 census. I have not been able to find any info on Wallace or Mary's families ie: parents brothers, sisters etc. Also no info on where these 2 come from before they show up in Digby, Nova Scotia. Charles had several brothers and sisters Irene, James, George, Alfred, Emma, Sarah, and Aurthur. Any information, ideas, or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for your help.

windyview — 2009-09-10 14:55:32Z

Hi.. I dont know if you are still active on here or not as I see the posts were made quite some time ago but I am interested in knowing more about your George Moffatt. My great grandfather's name was George Moffatt and he was married to Bridget O'Connor.They were supposedly married on a boat coming to America. An 1880 Colorado census shows a George (36)and Bridget(35) Moffat in Denver with 2 children who were born In Iowa. Mary who is 3 and Kate who is 2.
My grandfather Junius Flagg Moffatt was born in 1885 in Denver. In later years when his daughter (Evelyn Marguerite) was born in Craig Colorado they mention him as a cousin to Patrick Moffatt who was a well known rancher in the Colorado area.
I am very interested in knowing if there is some connection with the Iowa Moffatts?
Please let me know windyviewlady@hotmail.com

Good evening, Mr Viens,

I know you posted your message in 2000. I hope it can still find you!

I am myself looking for information on the Moffat family side of Celina and alvina. James Moffatt was my great-great-great-grand-father and I am looking for any information on him and his father.

Let me know if you have anything.

Greetings,

My gg-grandfather was Lucy's brother, Thomas Henry Moffatt. Great to hear from you. Thomas Henry I suspect died of TB in Redruth in 1873. Only two of his children lived to be adults. His son, John, seems to have stayed in Cornwall and had one daughter. I'm descended from his Thomas Henry's son, also named Thomas Henry, who immigrated to Negaunee, Michigan.

Mary Moffatt

wilding143 — 2009-03-18 22:15:33Z

Hello,

This is a long shot I know, but does anyone recognise a Mary Moffatt who had a connection to the Griffiths or Allmark families in Milton Street, Chester. Especially Robert Griffiths and his daughter Annie Griffiths(my grandmother). My grandmother always used to refer to her as Auntie Mary Moffatt in Scotland. We believe she had two daughters - one of whom came to live in Gresford near Wrexham N.Wales and could possibly have married a Price and lived in Pykie Hall near the Flash in Gresford.

I'm sorry to be so vague but I really don't have any leads on this so any help would be very welcome.

Hi!

I just searched the LDS microfilm #928487 Index to Complete Court Records.

I found the following entry for my 4th gr grandfather Francis Moffatt.

page 209 Moffat, FranB vs. S.H. Green page 180 Bk. M page 541.

I don't have any more info on this case. This is the first time I have seen the middle initial B. Also, the name Moffatt has been spelled many different ways. I'd be glad to correspond with anyone on this family.

Re: Moffat or Moffatt etc. in Airdrie, Coatbridge, Monklands, Glasgow area of Scotland

fionaonthegreen — 2009-01-18 02:59:02Z

I have been researching my Moffatt ancestors and have got back to my Great-great-great Grandfather David Moffatt who was born in Indea street in Glasgow in 1836 and died in West ham London in 1891.
I cannot find him on the 1841 Scotland census but he appears again in the 1851 census as a baker in Marylebone London. He married an Elizabeth and had a number of children including Cuthbert my G-G grandfather, I have other names and dates relating to these Moffatts if anyone is interested and would also be grateful if anyone has any information on the parents of the above David Moffatt.
Thank you.

Re: Missing Moffatt siblings

rcmick — 2008-10-20 21:35:09Z

With what you tell me I can't say yes or no. I know a lot about William but not much about beginning of his life. The two things I have on County Longford are his enlistment papers when he joined the Union Army for the Civil war and his Naturalization papers. Also his marriage certificate where he says his father is Robert Moffett and Robert was a weaver.

Missing Moffatt siblings

rcmick — 2008-10-20 17:27:22Z

My GG-grandfather was a William Moffatt who was born in County Longford, Ireland circa 1820-21. His father was a Robert Moffatt, a weaver. No idea who the mother was nor is there any knowledge on siblings. If you are a Moffatt descendant from a Moffatt family who had a child named William who left Ireland before he was 28 could we talk?

Re: Missing Moffatt siblings

PLANTINGA — 2008-10-20 18:43:48Z

Robert, are you sure about the county? I have a Robert Moffat who was married to Mary (last name unknown), who had a daughter Elizabeth (Bessie) Moffat, baptized 11 Feb 1814 in Parish of Donaghenry, and a son William Moffat. There were other children, but I don't have their names -- one might have been George. Don't have any information on William, but do have a lot on Elizabeth. BUT, they were born in County Tyrone. It is believed, but I have no proof, that George emigrated to Canada and became an official in the Canadian government.

Re: Missing Moffatt siblings

PLANTINGA — 2008-10-21 15:42:24Z

I guess we don't have enough information to make a match. I'll keep you in mind when I research this family and will let you know if I ever come up with anything. I hope you will keep me in mind also.
Good luck in your research!

Hi Robert!

What a wonderful surprise to hear from you! I just called my grandmother to tell her we finally found our Moffatt relatives (or you found us really). She was really excited to hear that you are the great-grandson of her grandmother's brother Alexander. Please drop me a line at russdlentz@aol.com.

We also descend from Mary Jane Bodinnar and her husband William Barry - my husband's relatives live in Griffith NSW but I know of some descendants in Victoria also. If you'd like to email me at mitchkells@virginbroadband.com.au I'd love to hear from you.

Re: MOFFATT families from Cornwall

Jamben6 — 2008-03-03 09:47:31Z

Hi,

We are Moffatt descendants living in Australia - Lucy Moffatt born 1823 in Breage Cornwall and her husband Stephen Bodinnar migrated here in the 1850's. Lucy is a daughter of John Moffatt (b 1786 Breage) and Jane nee Strike, John a son of William Moffatt (b 1751) and Mary nee Rowe, William a son of John and Anne. I think this line goes back to Adam Moffatt.

I'm happy to make contact with anyone interested.

My gg-grandfather was a brother of Lucy Moffatt. He was Thomas Henry Moffatt, chr. 9 Jun 1835 in Breage. He died in 1873 in Redruth, probably from TB.
