This is my 3rd great grandfather.
Husband of Charity Ann Cobb, Agrippa Moseley and his family left South Carolina, after he sold his last land in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA in 1834, to settle Dirtseller Valley that straddles the Alabama/Georgia state line between Broomtown, Cherokee County, Alabama, USA and Lyerly, Chattooga County, Georgia, USA, where they arrived in abt 1834. Moseley Springs/Creek that feeds the valley are named after him. Listed in a full page article from The Summerville News, Thurs., Sept. 4, 1969 are most of his descendants. Notably missing from the article are his wife, Charity Ann Cobb (born 1790 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died 1860 in Lyerly, Chattooga County, Georgia, USA), her parents, Humphrey Ransom Cobb (born 1768 in Pendleton, Anderson County, South Carolina, USA & died 1842 in Cassville, Bartow County, Georgia, USA) and Levissa Williams (born 1770 in South Carolina, USA & died 1845 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA), and at least two daughters, Mary Moseley (born 1812 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died in Cherokee County, Alabama, USA) and Elizabeth Moseley (born 1816 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died in Cherokee County, Alabama, USA). I have found all three sons mentioned in the article in the 1880 United States Federal Census, along with their families, one in Cherokee County, Alabama, USA, Joel Moseley, my 2nd great grandfather, (born 20 Mar 1815 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died 30 Jun 1890 in Broomtown, Cherokee County, Alabama, USA) (Find A Grave Memorial# 86020050) and two in Dirt Seller, Chattooga County, Georgia, USA, John Moseley (born 16 Apr 1820 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died 4 Dec 1888 in Lyerly, Chattooga County, Georgia, USA) (Find A Grave Memorial# 85997309) and William "Bill" Magee Moseley (born 1833 in Greenville, Greenville County, South Carolina, USA & died 1899 in Cave Spring, Floyd County, Georgia, USA) (Find A Grave Memorial# 6449130). Agrippa was originally buried in the old Pickle Cemetery, but my grand aunt, Inez Moseley (buried alongside her parents, my great grandparents, Miles Andrew Moseley (Find A Grave Memorial# 130952773) and Maude Mueller Wedgeworth (Find A Grave Memorial# 130952864) and her sister, my other grand aunt, Louise A. Moseley (who married Claude A. Dean), at Forest Hill Cemetery in Birmingham, Jefferson County, Alabama USA), who never married and moved to Birmingham, and then back to Dirtseller Valley in her retirement, had him reinterred at Oak Hill United Methodist Cemetery in Lyerly, Chattooga County, Georgia, USA, with a new headstone, as well as she did for new markers for her grandparents, my 2nd great grandparents, Joel Moseley and Elizabeth Ann Mosteller (Find A Grave Memorial# 86020363) (i.e. the "Grandma" reference on Elizabeth Ann Mosteller's marker).
