I did donate my books to the Whitley County Historical Society. Any copies can be requested through them and any proceeds go to the Society. But my concentration was mostly on (1) the early history of Joshua Moses prior to his coming into Whitley County, Ky., (2) the results of the YDNA project and the Family Finder project, (3) Joshua's descendants. I did include some information on John and Samuel that I had gleaned from other researchers over the years. I credited those researchers in case someone wants to follow up with any of them. I have been taking a closer look at John these past couple of months. While I was in SC in September I stopped at the Historical Society in Cheraw (thanks to my longsuffering husband.) They did not have as much material as I had hoped, however, I did dig up one very valuable record. I already had a land record for a Robert Moses that put him on the Wateree River during the time that my Joshua was taken prisoner by the British while he was on leave during the Rev. War. In his pension statement Joshua told the clerk that 'I asked my captain for permission to go into South Carolina and whilst I was on the Wateree River I was pursued by British Dragoons and taken prisoner.' I always thought that Joshua had to have been there visiting Robert Moses. The land record that I turned up in Cheraw was a record for John Moses that put his property also on the Wateree River during that same time frame. His property was in fact adjacent to Robert's land. So now we have John Moses! and Robert Moses living next to each other on the Wateree River at the very time that Joshua Moses was taken prisoner by the British. Too much of a coincidence not to be connected. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
