WILLIAM (BILL) MOSEBY. As to the will, if it went to the Apr 1852 Court, it meant is was proved. As for the land that was bequeathed to NANCY and her "youngest children," it MAY have been remanded to HENRY's eldest son by SUSANNAH if NANCY could not have afforded to post bond for it...OR, if she WAS Cherokee, then she may have not have been allowed to own the land, as in some states it was illegal for Indians to own land (i.e. MO until 1924). Since HENRY's eldest son from SUSANNAH lived and died very near, if not on, the same property, it's very possible he was given the land instead. Another factor could have been that NANCY was unable to work or take care of the land with such young children and being a widow. Another thing to consider, too, is that KY was a "border state." So, she may have left with the rumors and happenings leading up to the Civil War. In any case, she was not enumerated in 1860 in KY that I have been able to find. And interesting note: One of her MOSBY children ended up in Haskell Co, I.T (OK), where MANY Cherokee families lived.
