In 1754 the area where the Moberlys and Richard Hill lived became Bedford Co., VA. The tithe list is really a tax list and contained heads of families and males 16 years and up. Sons would come onto the list with their fathers when they reached the age of 16. We can say that Benjamin Moberly was born about 1732, Mordecai Moberly and Hamon about 1734, William Hill, son of Richard, about 1734. Note in 1748 there is two Richard Hills, and is one the father of Richard Hill that married Dorcas Moberly.
