Elizabeth Vallette Moorsom (née Pedder)

Heir of her father James Pedder (q.v.). The Mount Sinai estate which had belonged to her father passed eventually to the family of Samuel Delpratt (q.v. under Samuel Delpratt I), a trustee whom James Pedder appointed under a codicil to his will: it is not known under what circumstances the estate was transmitted, but Samuel Delpratt I had been a partner of the Jamaican moneylender and mortgagee Edward Foord, in whose possession the estate was in 1774: the two men were likely to have been creditors of Pedder and/or his estate.

1. No will or death-date has yet been found for her by LBS. Elizabeth Vallette Pedder's husband Nathaniel Moorsom, whom she married in 1780, died a Lt Col. in the Royal Marines at Blackheath in 1833.
