Introduction
Mobley ~ First Generation
| The
first known generation of the Mobley family commences in
Oxfordshire. Data has been extracted from information
supplied by the Oxfordshire Family History Society,
Ancestry and Findmypast. The first named couple are Samuel MOBERLY and Ann, whose surname was most likely FRANKLYN. See the Marriage Bond record for Sam Mawberly [sic], of Dadington, 1706, to Ann Franklyn, of Dadington, Oxfordshire (ref fmp). Samuel was born approx 1680, based on the birth of his first child in 1706. There are several possible sets of parents, being Samuel and Elizabeth (who had a Samuel in 1677 at Deddington), and William and Jane (who had a Samuel in 1682 at Deddington), and Nicholas Moberly and Dorothy Whetton, (who has a son Samuel bap 13 Jan 1688/89 at Deddington).. The second is more likely and is followed in FamilySearch. Probable burial of Ann (as Ann Mobile) 28 Aug 1729 at Deddington, Oxfordshire (ref Ancestry). Samuel was buried on 18 Nov 1752 at Deddington, Oxfordshire, his residence being Hempton (a village near Deddington) (ref Ancestry). His Will is transcribed below. I have been unable to locate his granddaughter Ann Harris. Trees going this far back are by their nature subject to possible error and may be revised later with more up to date information. There are a huge number of other Mobleys in Deddington at this time, particularly the ones descended from Nicholas and Dorothy.
