- Moses A. Shelby died before September 15, 1834 when John Houston was
appointed administrator.
(Hardin Co., TN Court Minutes C/11).
A year's provisions was laid off to the widow and heirs.
(ibid 12)Thomas D. Shelby was appointed guardian of Moses W. Shelby,
Sarah Ann Shelby, Mary Amanda Shelby and Elizabeth J. Shelby, minor
orphans.
According to Johnnie's book: Evan's brother Thomas, who married Sarah
about 1784 (based on the births of the children) was born in 1750's at
Hunts Cabin, Frederick Co., MD. Thomas & Sarah had only one son. He
was Moses A. Shelby b. in 1789 in Poplar Springs, Mecklenburg Co., NC.
In the 1800 Census, Sarah is head of the house, with 1 male age 10-16.
This would be Moses A. Shelby. On 19 July 1803 Sarah is named guardian
for her orphan children, Polly, Sarah, Moses, Ebby and Betsy, in Court
Minutes of Pleas and Quarter Sessions, p. 348. On 23 Jan 1805 Moses
is bound to Evan ShelbyWylie as apprentice wagon maker, now 16 years
old (until he comes of age) in Cabarrus Co. minutes of Pleas & Quarter
Sessions. This Moses A. Shelby married Martha Washington Polk,
(according to Cass K. Shelby). So, he couldn't have been our Moses
who married Mary Ann Knox.
