Passing on a short article in KY Explorer Nov 1995 p99 taken from an old
scrapbook of 1890's, author unknown:
"Hugh MOSS was commissioned Captain of militia in Goochland Co. in 1760 and
Major in 1770. He served in the Rev. War and died in 1780 from the effects of
wounds received in battle. He was married by the Rev. John Clay (father of
Henry) to Jane FORD, daughter of Thomas and Katurah Wynne Ford. His father,
James Moss, came from England abt 1719 to Va., where he married Elizabeth

Yes, I know it is confusing but I typed it just the way it appears. As usual,
I know nothing more about these folks....Regards, Barbara
