01. Louis DeMoss
was born probably in Maryland in abt. 1690. His will was dated 17 Jun
1743 in Orange Co., colony of Virginia. He wed to Catherine
in Deer Creek, St. Johns Parish, Baltimore, MD. Birth and land records of
Baltimore Co MD, (now Harford Co.) prove that the Louis DeMoss family
first settled in Maryland before going to Virginia. The earliest DeMoss
record found in America is in Harford Co. MD, the earliest date being
about 1700. The first land records naming Louis (Lewis) DeMoss is in
Baltimore Co. ND, 20 Sep 1717. Louis DeMoss had left Harford Co. MD
in 1735 and moved to Orange Co. VA. He and a son built a mill on Mill
Creek where it emptied into the Opequon River. He is thought to be buried
in the churchyard of Morgan's Chapel on Opequon Creek where he attended
church. Burial place has not been proven, and there has been some
controversy over this matter. (Source)
