Joseph Parsons, of Henrico had 1 child between the ages of 0 and 15 years old.
Tip: Correct the birth date of Joseph Parsons, of Henrico (born 1629) or the following child:
Judith Mosby

What information is there about Judith Mosby?

Yes, agree Judith Mosby is not making sense as daughter of Joseph Parsons of Henrico

But I don’t have a good solution, because she’s sourced as half sister to Agnes Jane Wynne

Is it possible that Joseph's birth date is incorrect?

Is it possible that Sarah was married to Joseph Sr?

Good reference but this looks like a later Parsons family. Who are you related to?

I am related through Judith. I cannot find anything but family trees that either don't give a birthdate or give 1629 as a birthdate. But many of them do not list any parents. The reference I posted earlier referred to her as Joseph's daughter in his will but does not list a birthdate for her.

Also could Judith be this Joseph's sister?

Could Judith be a Robert Woodson's Daughter that later "adopted " by Joseph?

The reference I posted sort of infers that.

Looking at her sister Agnes's profile I am totally confused.

I removed Joseph Parsons of Henrico and Agnes Jane Wynne as her parents at this time due to that cannot be proven and dates do not make sense.

https://ancestors.familysearch.org/en/9J47-PHB/judith-parsens-1629-...

lists the following as her parents

Joseph Parsens
1600–1660 born in England

Sarah Isabelle Winston
1590–1659 born in England

That could work almost but is it documented?

Notes for John Stith:

Major John Stith married Jane, widow of Joseph Parsons and had issue per Supplement to Tuckahoe and the Tuckahoe Randolphs, Note E, published in Genealogies of Virginia Families from Virginia Magazine of History and Biography.It shows their children as: …

JOHN STITH married JANE (Gregory)(Parsons) who was twice widowed before she married John STITH. Maiden name of Jane believed to be RANDOLPH or MOSBY. Five children born to this union(Additional information shows she was Jane Drury, widow of Thomas Gregory, widow of John Parsons.) …

4. Agnes STITH, Md Thomas Wynn ….

Note: Agnes and Jane have been added per the posting of "THE WILL OF MAJOR JOHN STITH, SR. WHO DIED IN 1694" By Jess B. Scott …

But we know that Agnes (Stith) Wynn was actually the posthumous child of Joseph Parsons, and he died in 1659 or so. John Stith adopted her after he married Jane.

Our problem is that Parsons is a common name, so we want to make sure Judith is from the same Joseph Parsons.

but they are both born in 1629?

I believe there might have been two different Judiths?

Forget birth dates in this era, there are few records. I should erase them all to not confuse you with bad estimates. :).

Look at this now:

page 155.

Judith Parsons is a minor in 1664. First in care of Edward Mosby (step mother’s father). Then in care of John Stith (step mother’s new husband). Nothing further is known after 1666. Maybe married Daniel Llewelyn.

Edd Mosby’s only son was Richard Mosby (1626–1706), who came over from England
with his father. Richard Mosby returned to England, but later came back to Virginia
when colonist Richard Ballard paid for his passage to return. In 1659 Richard married
Judith Parsons (1629–____), a Scotswoman, and in 1660 their only known son,
Edward Mosby (1660–1742), was born in Henrico County. Edward Mosby was the first
of six generations of my Mosby forefathers who were born and lived in Virginia.

Yes. Two different Judith Parsons.

Great minds thinking alike.

Looks like Margaret Wade doesn’t belong either. The curator note for Richard Mosby says:

Richard James Mosby, was the son of Edward Mosby and wife Hannah. He was born in England c.1626 and died in Henrico County, Virginia in 1683. He married Judith Parsons. One known child, son Edward.

I believe somebody conflated two different Judiths.

I’ll see If I can undo merge. If not I need to make a new Judith daughter Parsons and move over documents,

Ok. Let me know if there is anything I can do. :)

Write good bios for your Mosbys.
