About us
Many American Moormans claim descent from the family written about in 1972 by Lorrand V. Johnson in "The Ancestry of William and John Johnson."
As with most published family histories there were errors and omissions in the publication. His assumptions have been passed down and around so much that they appear to be facts. He also influenced William Wade Hinshaw's Quaker publications. A number of major changes were reflected in the 1988 edition with the Terrell Family Intermarriages.
The R1b-Family ZZE (Olive) Group has some of the original Johnson DNA test subjects and others that match them.
The Olive Group page at Jeffrey A. Bockman - Olive Group (google.com) has a further discussion of the research issues and descendant reports for the current family groups of the members based upon DNA and research.
My interest in the Moorman family is primarily with the descendants of Zachariah Moorman (1620-1702) in early Virginia that inter-married with the Johnson Family.

I am descended from James Seneca Johnson and Millie Moorman that were married 1 Sept 1779 in Bedford, now Campbell, Virginia
