Classification: Query
Surnames: Woosley - Youdaley-Youdaly-Youdale
Summary:
I believe I have found the legendary Moses Woosley in Amelia County Virginia in the mid 1700's in land records where he is named Moses Youdaley/Youdaly (presumably pronounced "Oodley" as a variant of Ousley/Oosley).
Records also show a Delman Youdaly/Yudale who would presumably be Moses father or older brother.
As shown below, these records are later linked to the name Moses Woosley, presumably either this same gentleman or the Revolutionary War veteran his son by proximity to the same individuals and/or surnames.
Comment: All earlier extant records had seemed to apply to a Thomas Woosley who is now referred to in most generalogies as Thomas Senior or Thomas "Moses". I am exploring the possibility (with others) that the famous "Thirteen sons" of Moses or Thomas Woosley might have been the combined list son sons of the two gentlemen surviving the Revolutionary War. (I've also recovered records where a grandson of Elijah Woosley, Thomas A,, said his grandfather was the youngest of seven sons, five of whom were patriots, in 1910.)
Background: In land and tax records of Amelia Co. VA as available OL and transcribed into books in the library, I have made the following connection:
1790: Moses Woosley, paying taxes living on or adjacent to the property of John Tabb.
1776: John Tabb sells land adjacent to Moses Youdaley.
1769: Thomas Tabb and Moses Youdaly sell to Wm Johnson 100 acres adjacent o Paulin Anderson.
1756: Delman Youdaly sells 150 acres next to Pauling Anderson to Thomas Tabb.
1745: Delman Youdale purchases 100 acres next to Paul Anderson from John Mulden.
