Subject: Can Rule Out James SKipper....

Searching for info on Elizabeth Moseley. The only thing I know about her is her name. She m. John Ivey(1750-1815). They lived in Wayne county, NC, and were the builders of the Ivey home there. I do know that Elizabeth married secondly to James Skipper, also of Wayne county, NC.
Any info on her would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Terri

This info from Terri isn't inconsistant with what we all ready know about James Skipper. Elizabeth Moseley married John Ivey (1750-1815) first and then would have married James Skipper after 1815. Based on one of deeds in the Noah Rouse collection, James Skipper was married to a daughter of John and Ann Mozingo before Oct 1772. It's still within the realm of possiblity that James' first wife was a Mozingo since a second marriage of his had to happen after 1815. SMM

15 Aug 1812 Richard Ivey and Robert Ivey Jr.; Joshua Ivey, and Sally Ivey by their guardian, Graddy Herring; Edy Ivey and Elizabeth Ivey by their guardian Robert Ivey Sr.; John Ivey and Turner Ivey by their guardian Robert Ivey Jr.; the children and heirs of John Ivey, deceased, late of Wayne County, �died intestate�assignment to Elizabeth Ivey, the widow of the said John Ivey, for one-third of the land of said John Ivey, deceased, that was laid off by commissioners to her for her lifetime as her dower. Witness: John Elmore, James (x) Skipper. Signed by: Robert Ivey, Richard Ivey, Robert Ivey gdn of Edy & Elizabeth Ivey, Robert Ivey gdn of John & Turner Ivey, Graddy Herring gdn of Joshua and Sally Ivey. [Wayne County DB 9, p440.]

In consideration of the above assignment, Elizabeth Ivey, the widow of John Ivey, releases unto Robert, Richard, Sally, Joshua, Edy, Elizabeth, John and Turner Ivey, the children and heirs of her late husband, all her claim to his lands in both Wayne and Lenoir Counties. Same witnesses. Signed Elizabeth (x) Ivey. [Wayne County DB 9, p440.]

6 Jan 1813 Deed: Elizabeth Ivey of Wayne County, deed of gift to her son James Miller, and to her daughters Penny Miller and Purcey Miller. Each child given a slave (named David, Robert, and Lewis respectively) and �one feather bed and furniture�. Note at end of deed reads �I shall keep the negroes until my children, son and daughters, comes of age and then they may have them.� Signed Elizabeth (x) Ivey. Witness: Cholly (?) Totewine, Percy Edmundson. [This deed of gift is recorded twice, in Wayne County DB 10, p97 and again in DB 12, p315.]
8 Oct 1819 Deed of gift of �furniture� from Henry Skipper to his cousins Elizabeth Skipper and Kelsy Skipper, both daughters of James Skipper and Elizabeth Skipper, his wife. Witness: Major Stanley. James Skipper. Wayne County DB 11, p219.

Elizabeth evidently had children by three husbands: Miller, Ivey and Skipper � cementing the idea she was a relatively young widow when she married John Ivey.

17 Aug 1819 Deed: Sheriff of Wayne County to Robert Ivey, for $25, James Skipper�s interest in the land allotted to his wife, Elizabeth Skipper, the late widow of John Ivey, deceased, as her dower in the lands of said Ivey. Sheriff directed to seize the property of James Skipper, Barnaby McKinne (in the hands of his executor) and Robert Ivey to pay a debt. James Skipper had a lifetime interest in the land by his marriage to Elizabeth Ivey. Sheriff sold the lifetime interest in the land at auction November 1818. Robert Ivey the high bidder at $25. Sheriff now makes a grant of interest in the land during Elizabeth Skipper�s life to Robert Ivey. Witness: Robert Ivey, Isham Cotton. Wayne County DB 11, p221.

This is the son of John Ivey. His uncle Robert Ivey is in Georgia by now.
