A Facebook post I just made on my recent research!

Ann Redman info: according to the book “Invention of the white race” Ann had a child and took this child with her when she ran away from the Lloyd plantation in 1696.

I believe this child of Ann’s is my 7th great grandfather also named Thomas Lloyd, he’s the one who died in 1740 in Isle of Wight County Virginia!

This is an AI image I had made from ChatGPT: to represent Ann Redman and her father Edward Mozingo in 1697 the year she was freed from service of Thomas Lloyd. Above is the record that freed Edward in 1672 and below is a record showing Joshua Lawson giving part of his plantation to Ann Lloyd, whom I suspect to be Ann Redman. Although she apparently took the Lloyd name she likely never married Thomas Lloyd, only that he most likely fathered a child with her, that child is likely my 7th great grandfather also named Thomas Lloyd!

I made this image using Artificial Intelligence on Facebook called MetaAI. It’s meant to represent the African servant Edward Mozingo holding a fiddle. Edward was a carpenter and he made his own fiddle!

I made this image with MetaAI, it is to illustrate what Ann Redman probably looked like in 1697, when she so famously took Thomas Lloyd to court for her freedom.

It’s my belief Ann got pregnant with Thomas Lloyd’s child, a son born around 1695 and named after the father, Thomas.

It’s my belief Ann is a daughter of Edward Mozingo, the African servant freed in 1672. It could be Edward interacted with Ann’s mother Jane who was a servant to William Lloyd, Thomas’s father, either prior to his freedom say around 1670 or after around 1673. Edward’s master was John Walker and he died in about 1669.

So, this is my family story, like that of Roots.

My 8th great grandparents

Thomas Lloyd: he was a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses. He fathered my 7th great grandfather with his mulatto servant Ann Redman and it’s my belief Edward Mozingo is Ann’s long lost father!

New blog post on Thomas Lloyd having land near Pantico Run where Edward Mozingo lived….1698!

By Shawn Vernon Lloyd

From this I gather that Thomas fathered my 7th great grandfather with his mulatto servant Ann Redman and that Ann is a daughter of the African servant Edward Mozingo, making him my 9th great grandf…

In 1701, Samuel Bayley inherited land next to Edward Mozingo, then in 1718 Samuel appraised the estate of Ann Lloyd whom I believe to be Ann Redman. My theory is her father is Edward Mozingo!

I’ve been doing more Genealogy research, found another link in my theory that tells a story…..Samuel Bayley 1691-1727 helped appraise the estate of Ann Lloyd in 1718. This Ann Lloyd I believe…

Here’s an important graphic I made illustrating the connection I made, it shows how Ann Redman could indeed be a daughter of the African servant Edward Mozingo!
