• Moses was a Civil War veteran who transported cook stoves to Salt Lake City in 1867 after leaving the military without official leave. Though he did not cross the plains with a Mormon pioneer company, he was in Utah before 1868 and was baptized into the Mormon faith. He married Mary Melissa Hamilton on 27 July 1868 in Midway, Utah.
