BY

GEORGE AND ADAM MOFFETT

ASSISTED nV DTHEKS OF THE NAME

The data ot the families living in England and Ireland was furnished by

Rev. Joseph Moffctt and Frank J. Moffctt, Esq.

1908

as-;/

EXPLANATION.

The number following the name in this work is the number of the gener-

ation to which the person belongs, which can be traced by referring to the

outline pages at the beginning—the first one of the name that we have anyrecord of being taken as generation No. 1 . Blank pages are for any data that

you may wish to record in regard to the names on opposite page. At the

back are pages for records of births, marriages and deaths, and we ask that

you keep a record of your family here as complete as possible as it may be of

assistance to some in the future, who may wish to bring this history up to a fu-

ture date.

Copies of this book can be had by addressing Dr. Geo. Moffett, 30't'

PREFACE.

In preparing this brief history of the Ballybay, Ireland, branch of

the Moffett family, we have endeavored to make it as complete as pos-

sible with the facilities we had at hand. We worked with the hope thatsome member of the branch with more time and means at their command

might be able at some future time to make it more complete, which may

be done by continuing the history of the families given, tracing those not

given and by searching old records of land t ties. leases, army records,

church records, etc.. in Ireland, and thereby trying to trace the family

farther back than where this history begins.

There are many different branches of the Moffelts in the U. S..

many of whom came here between 1 600 and 1 700. The spelling of

the name differs slightly in the families and we also find that the spelling

sometimes differs among members of the same family. We find all the

vowels used in both the first and last syllables giving us many combinations.

Some of the most striking spellings are Maphet. Miffit. Morfot.

Mophat. Muffat, Moffette. Mofht. Maffet. Moffal. Maffitt. etc.

But no matter what the spelling, they are all supposed to come from

the same origin. Almost every family has some tradition as to the origin

of the name. There are two principal theories as to the origin; onethat

the name and family carrying it originated near the present town of

Moffat. Scotland, the other that it came from Italy with the spread of

the Christian religion up through France. Normandy. England, and thence

into Scotland.

It is supposed that the forefathers of our branch came from Eng-

land to Ireland about the time King William conquered the northof

Ireland. But the fact is not certain.

Martha Moffett. 4. daughter of James Moffet. 3. was the first of

the Ballybay branch to emigrate to America, coming about 1835,to

Central Illinois.

In preparing this work we tried to get the same facts from each

one so as to have the biographies about equal, but foundit hard to do.

Some were reluctant to send in what they could, and some couldnot

send in what was required, from neglect of having kept theimportant

dates in the lives of their parents and grandparents. Othersresponded

Willingly and were glad to do all they could to help along, forwhich we

are very grateful, and to one and all who have aided us in anyway we

—3—

want to here express our thanks and appreciation of their aid. We hopethat the next who tries the work may find in this some records that mayhelp him.

We cannot help but feel the mistake that we all make in not keep-ing a record of the important dates in our lives when we undertake awork of this kind. This work may contain some mistakes, but we have

tried to get the data as near correct as possible, and have put the material

in just as received from the parties sending it in.

A tradition gives the oldest mention of the name (Moffett) as in1 066, when the Norman Knight, William de Moffette, came with theinvading force of William the Conqueror, into England.

Authentic church records show that Nicholde de Moffat, Archdeacon

of Tivotdale, became Bishop of Glasgow, in 1268.

There is a genealogy in preparation of all the Moffat Clan in

America, by Geo. W, Maffet, of Lawrence, Kas., as editor and his-torian in chief, aided by several other branch historians. The above work,

if finished, may contain a copy of this work.

Yours,

GEORGE MOFFETT,ADAM MOFFETT.
