Reva, I could not locate a biography of Moses Kimbrough in the 1884 History of Randolph and Macon Counties. However, I did find mention of Moses Kimbrough on the following pages: p. 96 - Listed as Old Settler of Randolph County p. 117 - Listed on the First Grand Jury of Randolph County p. 161 - Listed as Old Settler of Prairie Township I also find Moses Kimbrough in the Database of Randolph County Deaths as compiled by Larry Sumpter on the Randolph County Rootsweb Genealogy website as follows: Kimbrough, Moses -- Heirs: Rhonda Hylton, Susan Roan, Patsy Maggard of Rand. Co, the children of Jarvous J. Kimbrough, names unknown, Sena Donalds\o TX; signed: Joel Hubbard; p. 11 Jan 1851 The link to Larry's website is as follows: http://www.yggdrasill.net/mgen/sumpter.html Larry did a huge favor for all of us by accumulating this information (you will note too that he has references to obituaries, probate records, and publications such as the 1884 History of Randolph and Macon Counties among various other records he has cited)! Reva, I was curious if you know how Moses Kimbrough is related to James Kimbrough who married Mary Ann Goodman? Mary Ann Goodman, daughter of James Goodman and Mary (Alexander) Goodman, was a niece of my gg grandfather John Alexander (who by the way, was a brother-in-law of Joel Hubbard) and she was also a niece of my gg grandmother Catherine (Goodman) Stark.
