Anna Elizabeth Watkins Moss was born on January 5th, 1837 in Sumner County, TN to Lorenzo Watkins and Permelia Mourning Talley. She married Charles Cheslie Moss, Sr. sometime prior to the Civil War and was the mother of at least seven children. She was the granddaughter of Zachariah Talley, one of the earliest settlers west of Nashville, TN, who built a two-room log home in Hendersonville, TN in the 1790s. This home was on the National Register of Historic Places until it burned a few years ago. Anna is also believed to be descended from the Rev. John Talley, an early English Anglican minister sent to Jamestown, VA in 1630. DNA tests also suggest a possible familial connection to the Watkins Family who settled Boonesborough with Daniel Boone. At the time of writing, both of these connections are still being researched. Anna died in Dyersburg, TN on October 30th, 1903. She is buried in Dyersburg City Cemetery beside her husband and some of her children.
