MOSS -
Hello! So far, in California libraries, I cannot find proof that Triplett MOSS served in
the Am Revolution. He had been born 1752 in Prince Wm Co. but the only word that he actually
served comes from Joseph BOBO's Va Rev pension application (maybe # S.6678) Therein Joseph states
that "The draft was made the last of Sept 1780 at Dumfries. ... Six men constituted a mess and
he, Benjamin Reeves, ---, ---, ----, ---, were the mess. He also remembers ----. etc. , and
Triplett MOSS from his part of the country." I would love to find Triplett eligible for
inclusion in DAR's patriots.

COOK, CRADDOCK -
I am looking for information on the parents and siblings of Thomas Elmore Craddock, born
1781 somewhere in Virginia. By 1808 he was in Warren Co., KY marrying Hannah Cook. About
1816, they moved to Madison Co, Missouri. I have been told that when Thomas Elmore
Craddock moved from Virginia to Kentucky, he came with his brothers and their wives. The
names of William and Edward or Edmond have been suggested as the names of his brothers. Those
names have also been mentioned as the possible name of Thomas' father. Some Craddock
relatives also are reported to have moved from Kentucky to Missouri. After Hannah Cook
Craddock died, Thomas Elmore Craddock, and several of his grown children and
grandchildren, and possibly some other Craddock relatives, traveled to California about
1859. Thomas died in Yuba Co., California in 1869.

CARTER, FUSTON, HARMON, KING,
McPHERRON, SIMPSON -
Henry Simpson b. 1806 VA is the only information that I have. He owned land that was owned
by John Simpson in 1797. Henry sold this land to a John Simpson in 1831. He was an
orphan in 1817 according to Greene Co., TN Court minutes and indentured to James
McPherron, but in 1818 he was released from his indenture if he would leave the county. In
1827, he returned at age 21, if he ever left, and married Anna Carter with John
Harmon, Jr. signing his bond of $1,250. for security. He owned 125 acres of land at age 23
which has been traced to Ellis King, who bought 75 acres from Jonathan Fuston who
bought it from Thomas Fuston in 1802. This land was the north 75 acres of land owned by John
Simpson in 1797.

My g-g-g-g-grandfather, James Turner was born in Virginia ca 1775. The only thing that I
can find re his father is that he "was an Englishman and settled on a little island in Virginia
known as Turner Island and there died." Does anyone know where Turner Island was, I would guess
about the latter part of 1700? Or even better, who this Turner Englishman was. I have
followed James from Virginia to North Carolinia to Tennessee to Arkansas, where he died in 1844
and his son, my g-g-g-grandfather, James E. Turner on to Louisiana. Shirley R. Porter,
