Mosey/Gibbs Family History

MOSEY FAMILY OF LONDON

The earliest Mosey ancestor I can find is Robert Mosey, painter and glazier in Devon, listed as the father of Philip Stephen Mosey on the latter’s second marriage certificate.  I’m now actively searching for more information about the Mosey roots in Devon, perhaps among the Moyseys there, as that version of the name seems to be used interchangeably with Mosey.
