live where Daniel and Margaret, our ancestors, lived. A lot of old records were lost in a fire In Louisa County COurt House, also during the Revolution. We know of the continual connection of the family and Mr. Moriah Church. There are some graves in the garden about 50ft N.E. of the old house site. My brother's house was the second one on the same site the first being destroyed by fire. Foundation shows the old timbers. This could possibly be Daniel's home site. Merritt Maupin, my gr grandfather was the first person buried at Mt. Moriah cemetery. I have the land grant from King of England to Charles Moorman dated 1738. This is another indication that this was Daniel's home.
