It was apparently the closest parish church to his family's home in Fawn Twp., York Co., Pennsylvania, Maryland.12

     He was a farmer and stock raiser, accumulating by purchase and entry about 900 acres. In addition to farming he operated a sawmill for eight or ten years.2,16 The 1850 census of Tazewell Co.G, enumerated 2 Sep 1850, provides a snapshot of the farm he left at his death. He had held 200 acres of improved land and 100 acres of woodland, valued at $4,000, plus $150 worth of implements. He had 7 horses, 9 milch cows, 4 working oxen, 3 other cattle, 13 sheep, and 14 swine. He had produced during the prior year 150 bushels of wheat, 4,000 bushels of Indian corn, 240 bushels of oats, 30 lb. of wool, 50 bushels of Irish potatoes, $40 worth of orchard products, 300 lb. of butter, and had slaughtered animals worth $75.17
     David died on 9 Jul 1850 at age 51, of cholera, after being ill three days.8,9,10 He was buried in Mooberry Cemetery, Tazewell Co., IllinoisG.11

Narrative:

William Mooberry was born on 18 Sep 1752 in Chester Co., PennsylvaniaG.1,2
      On 28 Mar 1768 William obtained a warrant for 140 acres of land in Fawn Twp., York Co., PennsylvaniaG, adjoining lands of John Ralston and William Fullton.7
     William was in the colonial army during the Revolutionary War, serving as a baggage master. According to family lore, afterwards he was expelled from the Quaker Church because he would not admit that he had done wrong in going to war.1,8
     He was a farmer.1 He appears on the 1785 tax list for Fawn, York Co.G, when he was taxed on one horse, valued at £120.10s, for a tax of £1.3s.9 He appears on the 1787 tax list for Fawn, York Co.G, when he was taxed on 200 acres of land, two horses, and three cattle, valued at £149, for a tax of £1.15s. In 1789 the same land and horses, but 2 cattle, were valued at £191, and taxed £1.3s.9p.10,11
     William appeared on the 1786, 1793, and 1800 septennial census of Fawn, York Co., Pennsylvania, which do not contain information about any other members of the household.12,13,14
     William married Elizabeth Ramsey on 16 Oct 1788 in PennsylvaniaG.3,4
     He appeared on the 1790 Federal Census of Fawn, York Co., PennsylvaniaG, with a household consisting of two males over 16 (himself and someone unknown), and two females (wife Elizabeth Ramsey and daughter Nancy), and two slaves.15
     William appeared on the 1800 Federal Census of Fawn, York Co., PennsylvaniaG, with a household consisting of four males under age 10 (sons William, Alexander, and David and one unknown), one age 26 to 45 (himself), and one female age 26 to 45 (wife, Elizabeth.)16
     It appears that the family lived in southern York Co., Pennsylvania, but they took their children some 20 miles to St. James of My Lady's Manor, on the border between Baltimore and Harford Counties in Maryland, to be baptized. Presumably that was the nearest parish church.17 Their two daughters, Jane and Nancy, died in childhood. Nancy was scalded to death on the day of Jane's funeral.1
     William and Elizabeth and their sons William, Alexander, David, John, and Samuel moved to Franklin Co., OhioG, in 1806, becoming one of the pioneer families there.1 They cannot be found in the 1810 and 1820 census records because most of the 1810 census for Ohio was destroyed in a fire, and the 1820 Franklin Co. census also has not survived.
     His wife died on 27 Aug 1822 in Franklin Co., OhioG.5,4
     William died on 28 Jan 1829 in Franklin Co., OhioG, at age 76.5,6
