Birth-Saysay 1838 John Chesterfield Moffett was born say 1838. 
  Interestingly, a group sheet filled out in Margaret's own name does not list John as a sibling, but it also omits her brother Mathew who is well documented. 
 The second group sheet that included John's name was submitted by Charles Shirey who was the widow of Marietta Moffett Shirey (who would have been John's sister).1 
  Group sheets completed by other members of this family did not mention John. 
Deathbefore 1840 John probably died before 1840 as his presence is not indicated on the 1840 or any later census. 

Research Comment:

Research Comment: The inclusion of this child is based on two family group sheets submitted to a family surname organization around 1907. The first form bore the name of Thomas Moffett and had been typed by the group organizers with additional information added by Thomas's daughter, Margaret Jane. John is listed as Thomas's first child on this chart although it appears his name was typed on a separate piece of paper and pasted over the original form. It is impossible to know who added John's name or when.3
