Good luck to you in your search, sorry I have nothing to add. One note that may be of interest to you or that you may already know is the reason for the variations in spelling. My great grandmother was Alice Quisenberry, daughter of James H. Quisenberry (he was great grandson of Aaron Quisenberry) and she married my grandfather William Grant Berry. My aunt who is 89 years old remembers hearing her say that "she left her cushion at home" when she married and became a Berry and no longer a Quisenberry(pronounced Cushion-Berry). I think these personal anectdotes are always interesting. Again, good luck!

He was from Virginia but I don't know where. I found a new record on him today. I am trying to put the land records together. His first record I can find is 1783 where he signed the petition for the formation of a new state from Virginia. Then in 1786 he signs the Petition for a new town called Washington in the Limestone Settlement. His sons Elijah and Vincent sign it as well as Miles Conway and Simon Kenton. In 1787 the second petition to Virginia from the settlers of Limestone was signed by Moses and Daniel Boone, Jacob Boone, Miles Conway and Simon Kenton. About 1787 Moses purchased 16 1/2 acres in the town of Washington , then in Bourbon county (now Mason County). He bought it from Simon Kenton. ' to have and to hold natural lives of Moses and his wife Ann (maiden name unknown.) 10 Oct 1787 Bourbon County , Ky. Court Records Deed Book A, p. 139. In Dec 1789 Moses purchased 150 acres from Simon Kenton on South Fork Licking Creek, Bourbon County. Witnessed by Josiah Dixon, and sons Elijah and Vincent Cushenberry. The record I found today is another petition 27 Oct 1790 from Bourbon County for Inspection for tobacco at the town of Hopewell and there were many signatures and among them were James Kenny, Moses Chrisenberry, Elijah Cusenbary, ANSON CUSENBARY (I don't know who ANSON is ), William Cusenbary, A. Eastin, John Cousenberry, Ovid Boone, and William Crisinberry. In the Fayette County 1787 Tax List it names Rawleigh Chinn and Smith Darnell with Moses Coosenberry with John Tandy on down from him.. In 1790 Moses and Ann were "dism'd" from Bryan's Station Church Minutes 1798-1898-, p. 20 They then were listed as members at Coopers' Run Baptist Church. Moses son John Cushenberry married Rebecca Dowden and she is a sister to Rebecca Dowden who married Simon Kenton making John Cushenberry and Simon Kenton brother-in-laws. Then in 1792 Moses died leaving no will and the court oversaw the estate in May of that year. It was recorded in June 1792. Moses estate was granted to his wife Anne Quesenberry who came to court and qualified with Nicholas Lindsay (her son-in-law) and William Qusenberry (her son), her securities and gave bond. There was a problem with the estate as a suit was advertised in the Kentucky Gazette 15 Sep 1800 in Bourbon County, Ky. James Kenny filed a complaint against John, William, Elijah, Vincent and Daniel Cushenberry( an infant under the age of 21 years) , and Lindsay and Mary his wife, Rachel Cushenberry (under the age of 21 years) , Widow (Ann) of said Moses deceased. Miles W. Conway and Simon Kenton were defendants. I do not know why this action was taken or the reason for it except Moses wife Ann was deceased at this time and two children were under 21 years of age.. The article was incorrect as Betsy Cushenberry married Zachariah Ross and Anna married Vachel Lindsay. Moses wife Ann Cushingbery, Daniel (my next grandfather), Elijah and Vincent was last in the 1800 Fayette County Census. . About 1810 the sons moved to Warren County and Allen formed from it with Vincent going on to a adjoining county of Logan except William Cushenberry who had bought land from Lewis Craig in Bourbon County on the waters of David's Fork of Elkhorn, being part of a tract of land of 1,000 acres granted to John Craig, Sr on a treasury warrant, bounded by Hormbuck's plantation and the heirs of William Robinson, dec;d. This was dated 8 Sep 1802. . Through the years Moses and his family were close both in Fayette and then to Warren County, Ky with the Rev. James Quisenberry and his bother John A. Quisenberry with John A. moving to Warren County, Ky in 1808. In saying all of this I am trying to learn the geography and history as I know Bourbon was formed from Fayette and Mason was formed from Bourbon. The first record of Moses is 1783 and Kentucky County, Virginia was split in 1780 to Lincoln, Jefferson, and Fayette counties. So, in trying to find where Moses came from in Virginia it is hard to find another record because of the division and formation of counties and Virginia to the State of Kentucky in 1792. Any suggestions where to look for anymore records on Moses would be appreciated. I might make mention the different spellings of the surname makes it hard to find records I hope this record on Moses Cushenberry's life will be of value after myself as it will now be in the Archives for future researchers if I can't come to a conclusion myself of his parebtage which I believe points to the Quisenberry family of Virginia about the generation of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr that married Joyce Gayle Dudley or before. Moses would have been born ca 1720-1740 with a death date of 1792. This is my last posting unless a new record can be found on Moses.

On Moses Cushenberry, my grandfather, there is a military one that is in the office of the Adjutant General of Ky and is in the care of the Historical Society. It is entitled, " Index to Military Certificates, 1787, Etc, Register of the Ky Historical Society. All it says is : CRUZENBERRY (?) E. (that could be Elijah, Moses son).. and then CRUZENBERRY, M, p. 52.(for Moses) It is in a old leather bounded manuscript which is in the War Records room there. The Vol. is marked as Military Certificates No. 1, and on the fly leaf in this inscription it says "Certificates of Military Service performed in 1787 &c. , under THE LAWS OF VIRGINIA... therefore , while no doubt a majority of these Certificates were issued for services performed under Clarke's and Logan's expeditions of 1786 and 1787, it is evident that a few at least were for previous service. That is all I have on it and I don't know if there are more military records to Moses Cushenberry or not. Would anyone have any kno! wledge on these military records. Marianne Dillow

My database for Kentucky (Baptist church members) is very limited, compared to my work for Illinois, but I show that Simon Kenton was one of the members of the Limstone (Washington) Baptist church, in 1785. BTW, our daughter married a Quisenberry from Kentucky, but I don't know how they fit in (and am not really into genealogy).

Yes they were at Limestone Thanks for the information. In fact going through more records of mine I just found that Moses Cushenberry purchased 16 1/2 acres in the town of Washington, then Bourbon County, Ky which became Mason Co., Ky. and he bought the land from Simon Kenton about 1787. 10 Oct 1787 Bourbon Co., Ky.

Well, it looks like John Cushenberry (son of Moses Cushenberry, my grandfather), and Simon Kenton were brother-in-laws. I never knew that before. , Martha Dowden and Simon Kenton 16 May 1787 Rebecca Dowden and John Cushonbery 15 Dec 1791... Moses Cushenberry's son. Bourbon County, Kentucky Marriage Records, 1786-1800 Elizabeth Cushenberry and Zachariah Ross, 10 Jul 1795 ..... Moses Cushenberry's daughter. Simon Kenton was born at the headwaters of Mill Run in the Bull Run Mountains, in what is now Fauquier County, Virginia (birthplace was part of Prince William County at time of his birth prior to formation of Fauquier in 1759) to Mark Kenton Sr. (an immigrant from Ireland) and Mary Miller Kenton. And Moses Cushenberry was at Bourbon Co., Ky. Village of Washington and Settlement of Limestone in 1786-1787 when Miles W. Conway and Daniel Boone were Trustees and Simon Kenton was there.

Marianne, and all, This link may help you narrow your records search. I find it especially useful in following the Virginia to Kentucky Co., Virginia (1776) formation, then the Ky Co., VA changes until 1792 when 9 counties separated as the state of Kentucky. Click on this link, _http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps.html#county_ (http://www.familyhistory101.com/maps.html#county) then scroll down to Virginia's state link. You can now click on the year where you would like to begin, and then use the next/previous boxes to see the county changes. You can also click on the Kentucky state link which begins with Kentucky Co., VA (1776/1777) and continues through to present day. Hope you find this useful. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks a lot. I have been looking at the Ky Secretary State Office that has records of early settlers but I'm not getting anywhere right now with that. I have been doing genealogy since 1982 and I think this is the first time I have been caught in the cross hairs of changing states and trying to find records. The other lines I have researched were already changed by the time I found records and was established.

Okay, that means it was in Bourbon county. Cooper's Run Church, near Paris, was organized in 1787, by Elders Augustine Eastin and James Garrard (who later become Governor of Kentucky), with less than twenty members, and united with the Elkhorn Association the same year. Five of the original members were killed by Indians during the first year of its existence. Elder Augustine Eastin appears to have been the first and only pastor of this church.

My notes indicate that Bryan's church was organized by Lewis Craig, with eight charter members, and that Ambrose Dudley was pastor at Bryan's from 1786 (shortly after its constitution) until 1825. His son, Thomas P. Dudley, was then called and served until his death in 1886. The church divided before 1820, but not as early as 1790. Not sure I have anything on Cooper's Run.

I apologize for my previous garbled posting. I am having some computer problems. I hope this posting can be read better.... Marianne Dillow I sure am getting a history lesson. LOL !! And everything goes back in a circle to what I thought over 28 years of genealogy research on Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. I have always thought he goes back to the family of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. and Joyce Gayle Dudley in Va and the generations before but could never find a record to prove it and still can't but everything points to it.. I think my Moses is either a brother, uncle or nephew, cousin, etc to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr... something !! . Rev. James Quisenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr and Joyce Gayle Dudley 's son is Rev. James Quisenberry who left Va to Ky in 1783 the same year my Moses Cushenberry has his first record in 1783 in Bourbon Co. Ky signing the petition for the the state of Kentucky to be established from Virginia. Rev. James Quisenberry's brother John A. Quisenberry was in Ky and left the Fayette / Clark County. Ky area to Warren County, Ky in 1808 and my Moses three sons, Elijah, Daniel and Vincent went there too in 1810. Elijah and my Daniel went to Warren and Allen formed from it while Vincent went to Logan County, Ky. close by after he left Allen.. Rev, Ambrose Dudley was a minister of Bryan's Station Church in Ky where my Cushenberry's were members. He is the son of Robert Dudley and Joyce Gayle and married Anne Parker. Ambrose is a brother to Joyce Gayle Dudley who married Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. who died ca 1795 in Orange Co. Va. Aaron Quisenbery, Sr's line is : i. John Quisenberry and, Sr and Ann Pope ii. Humphrey Quisenberry and Elizabeth Mothershead...... he had brothers John and William Quisenberry iii. Thomas Quisenberry and Caroline Rawlings then Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. born ca 1725 in Caroline Co., Va and died 11 Mar 1795 in Orange Co., Va. Children: (1) Moses (who was mixed up with mine who is older than him ) and married Mary Gatewood; (2).Aaron JR who married Sarah Ellis (3) William who married Agnes Morton (4) John A. who married Rachel Henderson (5) Rev James Quisenberry born 13 Jul 1759 in Spotsylvania Co., Va who married (1) Jane Burris and (2) to Chloe Shipp. (6) George Quisenberry who married Jane Daniel .. she is the dau of Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion who are also my grandparents but through a Daniel.. Vivion.. Smith.. Thacker... Conway.. Eltonhead .. grandparents of my Mother that is a different line than Moses Cushenberry. LOL !! (7) Winnifred (8) Mary married William Cooper (9) Elizabeth marries Rice Pendleton My grandfather William Davis who came from Culpeper Co., Va daughter's Sally married my Daniel Cushenberry and his dau Mary married Vincent Cushenberry, sons of Moses. William Davis was very close with Benjamin Robinson and it looks like he came with Rev .Lewis Craig's Station on Gilbert Creek in 1782 with my William Davis. They were in Garrard Co., Ky before coming to Fayette Co., Ky. William Davis died in 1823 in Fayette Co., Ky. Benjamon Robinson married Mildred Burbridge and 2nd to Hezekiah Ellis. Elijah Cushenberry son of Moses dau Obedience Cushenberry married Johnson Ellis with Elijah as surety 29 Dec 1807 with consent of parent in Fayette Co., Ky. Johnson Ellis is the son of William Ellis and and Elizabeth Shipp dau of John Shipp and Sally Johnson.. thus Laban and Colby in Fayette County 1787 tax list A with Rawleigh Chinn, and John Tandy with Moses Cushenberry. And the other line of my Mother's is Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion who are my 4th great grandparents. Vivion died 1803 in Clark Co., Ky. and who was born in Middlsex Co., Va. One of his daughters named Jane married George Quisenberry ( Jane a sister to my next grandmother)...... I think I am done. :) Marianne Dillow Illinois

I sure am getting a history lesson. LOL !! And everything goes back in a circle to what I thought over 28 years of genealogy research on Moses Cushenberry that died in 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky. I have always thought he goes back to the family of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. and Joyce Gayle Dudley in Va and the generations before but could never find a record to prove it and still can't but everything points to it.. I think my Moses is either a brother, uncle or nephew, cousin, etc to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr... something !! . Rev. James Quisenberry son of Aaron Quisenberry, Sr and Joyce Gayle Dudley 's son is Rev. James Quisenberry who left Va to Ky in 1783 the same year my Moses Cushenberry has his first record in 1783 in Bourbon Co. Ky signing the petition for the the state of Kentucky to be established from Virginia. Rev. James Quisenberry's brother John A. Quisenberry was in Ky and left the Fayette / Clark County. Ky area to Warren County, Ky in 1808 and my Moses three sons, Elijah, Daniel and Vincent went there too in 1810. Elijah and my Daniel went to Warren and Allen formed from it while Vincent went to Logan County, Ky. close by after he left Allen.. Rev, Ambrose Dudley was a minister of Bryan's Station Church in Ky where my Cushenberry's were members. He is the son of Robert Dudley and Joyce Gayle and married Anne Parker. Ambrose is a brother to Joyce Gayle Dudley who married Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. who died ca 1795 in Orange Co. Va. Aaron Quisenbery, Sr's line is : i. John Quisenberry and, Sr and Ann Pope ii. Humphrey Quisenberry and Elizabeth Mothershead...... he had brothers John and William Quisenberry iii. Thomas Quisenberry and Caroline Rawlings then Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. born ca 1725 in Caroline Co., Va and died 11 Mar 1795 in Orange Co., Va. Children: (1) Moses (who was mixed up with mine who is older than him ) and married Mary Gatewood; (2).Aaron JR who married Sarah Ellis (3) William who married Agnes Morton (4) John A. who married Rachel Henderson (5) Rev James Quisenberry born 13 Jul 1759 in Spotsylvania Co., Va who married (1) Jane Burris and (2) to Chloe Shipp. (6) George Quisenberry who married Jane Daniel .. she is the dau of Vivion Daniel and Elizabeth Vivion who are also my grandparents but through a Daniel.. Vivion.. Smith.. Thacker... Conway.. Eltonhead .. grandparents of my Mother that is a different line than Moses Cushenberry. LOL !!

Thanks Robert. That would fall in line with Moses Cushenberry 's death in 1792 in Bourbon County. I am having to learn history of the area I think. LOL !!
