- Moses and Mary Ann Knox married before the 1810 Mecklenburg Co., NC
Census and probably 1804 the time of the birth of Winfield.
Moses Shelby is listed in the 1810 and 1820 Mecklenburg Co., NC Census,
but not in any other thereafter. His last child was born in 1825. (MCM - 2003)

Shelby, Moses: 4 males under 10, 2 males 10 - 16, 1 males 26 - 45, 1
female under 10, 1 female 26 - 45. (These would be 7 males: Moses, Winfield, Smith, John Rufus, James Madison, David Daniel, Samuel
Norton, 2 females: Mary Ann, and Elenor Selina.
In Mecklenburg Co., NC Deed Book 323, page 104: 9 Jun 1823, Charles
Mitcheal sold to J. R. (John Rufus) Shelby 200 acres on Beaver Dam
Creek. This is probably the same 200 [less 27 acres] his grandfather,
Evan, sold to James Ross in 1783, for the monies willed to his son,
Evan in 17)
In Mecklenburg Co., NC Deed Book 23, page 466: 9 Oct 1835, James M.
(James Madison) Shelby representing John R. (Rufus) and James B.
Shelby transact (?) for 200 acres on Beaver Dam Creek. (I believe
James Madison Shelby bought back for John Rufus and James B. Shelby
the land that originally was owned by their grandfather, Evan)
In Mecklenburg Co., NC Deed Book 2, page 406: Jan 1849, James M.
(James Madison) and Mary Ann Shelby, et al, sold land to James M.
Henderson. (I think this was a 100 acres on Beaver Dam Creek from the
1835 transaction)
Mecklenburg Co., NC Deed Book 3, page 48: Jan 1850, Mary Ann Shelby
sold to M. D. Johnson 100 acres on Beaver Dam Creek. (This was, more
than likely, the other 100 acres bought in the 1835 transaction)
Samuel Shelby, son of Moses Shelby & Mary Ann Knox, had a grandson,
Joseph Alexander Shelby. These are from notes written by Joseph
Alexander Shelby:
"Sons of Moses Shelby of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.

2. Winfield Shelby, buried at Elizabeth Church, Sumter County, Ala.;
3. James Madison Shelby. Moved from Perry County, Ala. to Tyler,

7. Joe Shelby, never married. Died young in Dallas County, Ala.;

Raleigh's State Archives... there are a bunch of estate papers for Jane re Allison and Mary Ann Knox's husband Moses Shelby is the administrator/exe. of his estate...
(I have been unable to find these papers. They do not seem any longer to be in the Archives. MCMordecai-2004)
It is possible that Moses is buried in Sugaw Creek Cemetery, near Charlotte, NC or Bethel Presbyterian Church Cemetery in Huntsville, NC (6 miles outside of Charlotte, NC.) in an unmarked grave. Johnnie M. Johnson, in her book, states that he is buried 6 miles outside of Charlotte. I was unable to find him listed in the records. (MCM - 2004)
