John is found in Iredell Co. in the 1820 census, but I have not found Moses. We think either Moses or John fathered a John who founded the Wooten Pottery in Washington Co., Va. It the father of John the potter that we are trying to verify. I do not know if this helps you, but I would suspect that your roots would go back to Richard in Surry Co.
