The Moffett family came to America some time during the upheaval among the 
dissenters that followed the restoration of the Stuarts to the throne of Great 
Britain.  Henry Moffett, one of the original members of the family from 
Scotland, was born in 1705.  He located in the beautiful valley of Carter's Run, 
in Fauquier County, Va.  He was the father of Rev. Anderson Moffett, a pioneer 
Baptist divine of great local note.

Rev. Anderson Moffett was imprisoned and persecuted during the Revolutionary War 
because of his belief and strong religious influence.  Henry Moffett had one 
other son name Daniel.  He died in Fauquier.  Henry Moffett was accopanied to 
this country by three brothers -- Daniel, Jesse and John.

Henry Moffett was twice married -- first to Mary Anderson and afterward to her 
sister, Elizabeth Anderson.  One of the descendants of Rev. Anderson Moffett 
married a Bryan.
