Lt. Robert Moseley was in Kentucky by October 1782, when he served with Capt. Samuels, under Genl. George Rogers Clark, on an expeditiona gainst the Indians. (Margery Heberling Harding, GeorgeRogers Clark and his Men Military Records, 1778-1784, 1981, p 168)
The earliest record I have for this Robert Moseley in PrinceWilliam County is in 1765, when he appears on the tithables list. He doesn’t appear on the tithable lists in 1751/52, 1754, 1760, 1761/62, or on the list of landowners in 1762
Ohio Co, KY Deed Book A, pages 22-23 Robert Moseley in 1799 confirms that he sold his land in Prince William County, Virginia to John Kincheloe in 1791. His wife Sarah relinquished her right of dower

Lt. Robert is my 4th great-grandfather. In a deposition, given in an Ohio Co., KY equity suit it was said that there were only *five* children who living ca 1800 and that his father might have had more children who died in infancy, but he didn't remember them. The children's names were John, Robert, Elijah, Pressley and Jesse. In some local DAR papers in the Owensboro, KY library, the person transcibing part of that lawsuit transcribed the son Jesse's name as Sep, apparently because of the old fashioned s's. This error has been repeated by others in books. (The Taylor family, who lived near them had several Septimuses, so someone must have changed the error Sep into Septimus.
