The "marriage" of Rene Laforce and Agnes Moseby is listed on Page 139 of The Douglas Register as 27 Aug 1756, but they were married earlier. The Family History Library cautions that "The dates shown for the couples on pages 98 through 149 are not marriage dates but a 'presumptive' marriage date. The dates shown on pages 98-149 are the birth dates of the oldest child of the couple, as found in the birth and baptism section starting on page 150 of this book."

Pages 232-233 of The Douglas Register list the following births of children between Rene Laforce & Agnes Moseby.

27 Aug 1756 - Robert 14 Aug 1758 - Ann 10 Nov 1760 - Agnes 8 Sep 1765 - Judith 21 Jul 1768 - Monsire

Other records indicate other children born prior to 1756.
