    1. [VAFAUQUI] Moses Cushenberry and Rev. James Quisenberry, 1783
    2. Moses Cushenbery and Ann unknown are my grandparents. I descend from their son Daniel who married Sarah (Sallie) Davis daughter of William Davis of Culpeper County. I believe my Moses is a descendant of the Quisenberry family of Va and since he died 1792 in Ky and was from Va he would have been born around or before Aaron Quisenberry that married Joyce Dudley. He is older than the other Moses Quisenberry in that family. Some people in the past got the two mixed up. Since I posted below I looked at the books I have by Anderson Chenault Quisenberry. In one of them it says that Rev. James Quisenberry came from Orange County, Va and in 1783 he removed to Ky. He is the son of Aaron Quisenbery and Joyce Dudley. Rev. James Quisenberry is also the brother of Moses (not mine) and their brother John Quisenberry who was in Clark County and moved to Warren Co.,Ky in 1808. My Moses three sons, Daniel, Elijah and Vincent Cushenberry moved to Warren and Allen Co.,Ky ca 1810. Allen was formed from Warren. Seems like they stayed together and knew the same people. Also, 1783 is important. It is the same year in the Quisenberry book that says that Rev. James Quisenberry came to Ky. and 1783 is the first record of my Moses Cushenbery in Ky too. Could they have come from Va to Ky together ?

Then in that same year he bought 16 1/2 acres in the town of Washington, then in Bourbon County, but now in Mason County. 10 Oct 1787 Bourbon County, Ky Court Records Deed Book A, page 139. Then in 1787 Moses purchased 150 acres from Simon Kenton on south Fork Licking Creek in Bourbon County. Maybe that would help in finding more records as he was from Virginia and the first record found was 1783 where he signed a petition entitled " West Side of Laurel Mountains Inhabitants to the President of the Continental Congress" which was a plea for the formation of a new state. .
