Posted on: Jefferson County Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Mo/Jefferson/334 Surname: Moss ------------------------- I am looking for specific information on William Moss, who arrived in Jefferson County (Sandy Creek) about 1796. He apparently migrated from VA to MO and was of "English stock". I would love to have information on his parentage and where in VA he came from. He was also involved in the War of 1812, but I can't seem to unearth anything on that either. Thanks. Barbara
