>From Marsha Moses,

------- Forwarded message follows -------
I just finished sealing the packet containing DNA samples from the
inside of my husband's cheeks to send back to FamilyTreeDNA in Texas. The
actual taking of a sample is soooooo simple and takes approximately 2
minutes. I hope that we will have lots of male Moses participants in the
next few months!

In case you have forgotten how to order your own kit or a kit for a
family member, here is the URL for our ordering site:

If you have questions on any part of the research project, please e-mail
me or the list with any of your questions! Steven Perkins is on this
list
and he has lots of answers--and I am happy to look up anything that you
might want to know as well.

My husband's earliest documented ancestor is Archy Moses who fought in
the
Civil War. Some other lines that I expect to match with my husband's
DNA
samples are:

Moses lines who descend from the Samuel Moses b. circa 1755 who fought in
the Revolution and is found in Augusta County, Virginia circa 1782.

I also expect to find matches among lines who descend from the William
and
Samuel Moses who are found in Nelson County in the census of 1810.

I also expect to find matches among some descendents who are still
living in the Putnam County, WV area who descend from Thomas Moses b.
1809/10. I believe that Thomas is a brother to my Archy. Thomas and his
wife moved away from Montgomery County, Virginia with Thomas's sister,
Mary and her husband William Best while Archy was still quite
young--before the Civil War.

I think that there will be matches with descendents of Jacob B. Moses who
is found in the 1850 in Montgomery County, Va census with children
Elizabeth, Susannah, and John in the home.

I think that there will be matches with descendents of William H. Moses
living in Montgomery County, Virginia in the 1879 census with the
following children in his household: William, Otey, Sarah, John, George,
Melvina, Mary, and Samuel

I think that there will be matches with descendents of John Lewis Moses
who married Sarah Jane Moore and had the following children: Mary, John,
James Henry, Louise, Charles, Elizabeth, Bernardine, George Edward
Alberton, Bertie (children born between 1854 and 1885)

I think that there will be matches with descendents of Alexander Moses
living in Roanoke County, Va from 1833-1911 with children: William
Joseph,
Mary Elizabeth, Henry Adam, John Harrison, Andrew Jackson, Paulina Ann,
Charles Edward, Archibald Luis, Walter Fleming and Virginia Alice
(children born between 1859 and 1880)

I think that we may be surprised to find some matches that we do not
expect to find--indicating that there was a family relationship between
some Moses men that we thought were totally unrelated. So it would be
extremely helpful if we had participants who do not expect to match any
of
these people. We want every Moses male possible to participate. It
would
be wonderful if we had some Moses males in Germany or England or Ireland
or wherever as well. So everyone put on your thinking caps and see if we
can find all sorts of Moses men who will help us decide the most likely
direction in which to look for our earliest immigrants.

Please pass the information on to anyone that you know who does Moses
genealogy. Even if they do not carry the Moses name, they may have
cousins, Uncles, other family members whose DNA could represent their
lines DNA results.

I hope to hear from lots of you. Marsha in WV
