• Notes

  "!" Information on this family has been obtained from photocopies of files from the George West Maffett. John McCue (He remarried Ellen Douglas) - A son of that marriage was James McDowell Moffett McCue. Extensive Farmer; Pre siding Justice in Augusta County Court; Representive of county in Legislature. Parents: Rev. John McCue and Elizabeth Allen; Grand- parents John McCue and Eleanor Mathews. A letter to George West Maffett of Lawrence, Kansas written about 1908/09 from Aurelia P. McCue Norvell: "The home place of Col. Geo. Moffett about 8 miles from Staunton, Va., called "Mount Pleasant" is in the best state of preserva- tion. He built this house as a fort. I am sending you some work -- you can see I am an enthusiastic Moffett Ana. I organized here in 1906 (I believe) the first chapter of the D.A.R,s; It was named for my Great grant grandfather andin my honor -- The Colonel George Moffett Chapter; I compiled this piece to read to the Chapter. I am so very anxious to know more of my ancestors. There is no known picture of him and nothing much known about the forefathers. From Waddells Annals of Augusta Co (Mr. Addison Waddell still lives in Staunton, Va.) You can glean as much as we know about Col Moffett and his father, John Moffett, also "Presbyterian Church" Staunton, Va. (Copies can be gotten I think from Anita Hage, Staunton, Va). There is a sketch of Col. Moffett in the Pamphlet. Mrs. W.M.Marshall can gain access to the old Bibles N.B.A.H. McCues, Fishersville, Va and also the Bible at my brother's James McDowell Moffett McCues. (N.B.A.H. McCue is the son of Squire John McCue and his second wife Ellen Douglass. He had a brother Hal McCue of Penn) From B.Miller McCue Insurance, Richmond, Va, Mrs. Marshalls' brother you can secure a picture of Hannah Winters Moffett, daughter of James McDowell Moffett and Grand daughter of Col. Geo.Moffett. Hannah W. Moffett married John McCue of Long Meadows, Va. a son of the famous Reverend John Mc.Cue. I am deeply interested in your pro- ject. The blue prints sent me before were never received or I should have with pleasure filled them out. Mr. Norvell and I have been off on a trip and I was delayed in attending to these. Our home and many of my family papers were burned in 1907--- at present, we live at Hotel. Cordially yours, (Signed) Aurelia P.McC. Norvell Appearently there is a further Moffett conection in that the following infor- mation was furnished on the McCues.
