Moses Ayers, Patriot
"Moses Ayers first settled in
Virginia where he fought in the French and Indian War under George
Washington. After service in the Revolutionary War he moved to North
Carolina, and then to the Reed Creek District of Franklin County,
Georgia, now Hart County. He was married three times, his last wife
being Abigail Payne, and raised a large family." -- [Source: "The
History of Stephens County, Georgia 1715-1972" By Kathryn Curtis
Trogden]
"Moses has been accepted as a soldier-patriot in the Revolution by
the Daughters of the American Revolution and his grave was marked
with an historical marker in June of 1976. He took an Oath of
Allegiance in Pittsylvania County in 1777; he was on the list of
Charles Kennon's Militia Company in 1778, and he submitted a claim
for reimbursement for supplies and services provided to the militia.
In March 1781 the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in North Carolina
occurred about 50 miles from Moses' farm in southern Pittsylvania
County, Virginia." -- [Source: Henning, Frank A., "Some Ayers and
Heirs," March 1981.]
