The Moorman family is first found as early as the 16th Century in the person of Thomas Moorman b. circa 1593. Other than that he arrived in this country aboard the Nova Bona no other information has been found on this family’s background. No mention of his wife or children has been found in Colonial Histories of Virginia.[1]

The Magazine of Virginia Genealogy published a list of 92 indentured servants sent to work the Virginia Company’s public lands on the “Bona Nova” in 1619. The ship sailed 10 August and arrived in Virginia 4 November 1619.

Indentured passengers include:

89 Thomas MOREMAN, age 30, grocer from Warwickshire
21 John JOHNSON, 32, husbandman from Nottinghamshire
55 John CLARKE, age 33, butcher from Oxfordshire
A year later, Thomas petitioned The Virginia Company for his freedom in the Virginia Company court[2]
