Notes:
The reason for my post is that the name Moseley/Mosely has been transcribed as
Morley. The correct name on page 2, is Elijah Moseley, who is also mentioned
as Bro. Moseley. His wife is Susannah W. Moseley, his father is the Robert
Morley (should be Moseley) on page 4, under new members on Dec. 24, 1808. His
brother Benjamin Moseley is also present with his wife Mary. Your attention
to the matter will be appreciated. I am,

son of Martha Moseley Bean
