IT WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS!

We Came, We Saw, We Aspired to Better Things!

Many thanks to those who answered the call to A First-Ever Reunion of the Descendants of Andrew Moffett and Anna Reid Moffett! There is already talk of another!

We have set up a Flickr Album as a Clearinghouse for Photographs of the Reunion. Click HERE  to go the Flickr Album where you can upload your photos, and download photos taken by your cousins. Those photos include:

The Old Citadel

Charleston, South Carolina, October 21 - 24, 2016

Many thanks to William F. Trimble, Professor of History of Auburn University

The author of Admiral William A. Moffett, Architect of Naval Aviation, published by the Smithsonian Institution Press, Professor Trimble delivered a Keynote Adress about perhaps the most famous descendant of Andrew and Anna, RAD William Adger Moffett.

As reflected in the matrix above (which is a work in progress - click HERE for a full-size view of the matrix), Andrew and Anna had 9 children, one of whom (Elizabeth Reid Moffett) died in infancy. Of the eight others, at least 4 had children: Margaret Hall (who married an Adger), John Reid, George Hall, and Alexander Moffett.

Soon I will post a group photo and other photographs of the Reunion (I am, ahem, waiting for someone to send me such a photo).

In the meantime, some articles about various family members can be accessed by clicking HERE.

Here is a map showing the approximate location of the Clan Moffat ancestral seat in Scotland, not far from Moffat, and Dumcrieff:
