NameApril 1729As of April 1729, Elizabeth Haley Moffett was also known as Elizabeth Haley Cornelius.1
Nameabout 1752As of about 1752, Elizabeth Haley Moffett was also known as Elizabeth Haley Strauhn.6
MemoMemo: "The Moffett family is of Scottish extraction and there is a parish of that name in Annandale, Scotland. A broad plain stretches form the head of the Annadale River to the foot of the Hartdfell Mountains, known to the ancient Celts as "Mor Fad". It was a very ancient border family, influential and powerful as far back as the time of Wallace, and conspicuous for the deadly feud which existed between them and the Johnstones (Johnsons) for several centuries.

From the 12th to the 16th centuries, the Moffetts (or Moffats, Scottish spelling) were minor barons , bishops and freeholders in this area of south Scotland and fought with King Robert I, "The Bruce, " in the Clan Wars against the English in 1315. The following data is taken from THE STEEL BONNETS by George MacDonald Frazer copyright 1971. It is about the boundry between England and Scotland between the above mentioned time. Each side was divided into three segements, Eastern March, Middle March and West March. And it appears that the West March was the worst. It was in this March on the Scottish side that the Moffitts Clan was located. These clans that lived in the Marches were called Borderers.
"Probably the fullest comtemporary description of sixteenth century Border life is that given by Leslie, Bishop of Ross. The Borderers, he writes, assumed to themselves the greatest habits of licence.... For as, in time of war, they are readily reduced to extreme poverty by the almost daily inroads of the enemy, so, on the restoration of peace, they entirely neglect to cultivate their lands, though fertile, from the fear of the fruits of their labour being immeditely destroyed by a new war. Whence it happens that they seek their subsistence by robberies, rather by plundering an rapine, for they are particulary averse to the shedding of blood; nor do they much concern themselves whether it be from Scots or English that they rob and plunder" .
However according to the above Leslie "that having once pledged their (Borderers) faith, even to an enemy, they are very strict in observing it, insomuch that they think nothing can be more heinous than violated fidelity".

In the early 16th century, The Moffett Clan assembled for a meeting in a large building which was set afire by trhe Johnstones. As the Moffetts fled the burning building, their leaders were killed: since 1560, the Moffett clan has had no recognized leader: it was absorbed as a sept of the Douglas Clan and Moffett descendants may wear the Douglas tartan. The Moffetts were Covenanters and the family scattered during the upheaval among the dissenters that followed the restoratin of the Stuarts after the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603. Some branchses of the family settled in Laudedale, Scotland, Hertfordshire, England - Ulster, Ireland and America.7
Will (fam)22 December 1777She signed a will on 22 December 1777 in Kent, Maryland, United StatesB. The will was proved 17 Mar. 1784 (Kent Co. MD Wills 1781-1798, Liber 7:52). This will named Isaac Cornelius, son of Elizabeth as Executor, and recipient of all real and personal property, except of a horse or 30 pounds to be paid to their grandson, James Strauhn VanZandt (son of Isabella and John VanZandt) at the age of 21. With this exception the real and personal property was left to Elizabeth's youngest child, Isaac. Witnesses were: Jacob Riley, Benjamin Palmer and Bartley Palmer.6
