biographical and/or anecdotal:
Moses Ferguson Sr. was born in Baltimore, MD in February of 1762.
Records from his General Service Application concerning his birthdate state
that this was recorded in his father's Bible, but it was destroyed when
Tories injured his father, killed his mother and burned their house.
Revolutionary Records state that Moses enlisted in Feb. 1781 and served
as a private in the first regiment of the South Carolina State Troops
under Lt. Andrew Alexander, Capt. William Alexander, Major James Rutherford, Colonel Wade Hampton and General Sumpter.
He was at the taking of Fort Granby and Fort Orangeburg and fought in the Battle of Eutaw Springs. He left the service in Nov. 1781.

notes or source:
Have Moses FERGUSON (maybe Jr.) b. Lincoln Co, NC, 1809; m. Rebecca SIMMERMAN in 1841 in Johnson Co; d. 1863 in Johnson Co. May have been married before. In 1860 census he was in Jackson Twp with 8 children: George Alexander, 22; Missouri J., 18; Francis M., 16; Melvina E., 15; Amanda C., 11; Nevada E., 4; Mary V., 2; baby girl, 2 mo. Also in Jackson Twp 1840-1860 were several other Ferguson/Furgusons who may have been brothers: Aaron, John Cox, William, and Samuel. These were probably all sons of Moses Ferguson, Sr., who was also in Johnson Co about 1840 and apparently died about 1845. They all came from Lincoln Co, NC and settled in Rhea Co, TN, before moving to Johnson Co, MO.
