Moseman was born in Hinkley, Summit County, Ohio, where his mother was living, and where his father relocated in 1844. His family continued to reside in Hinkley for approximately the next 15 years, and returned to West Richfield, Summit County, Ohio, to the original Oviatt family homestead in the early 1860's, as noted in The History Of Summit County Ohio 1881. The first two children of Moseman and Elsie were born in Richfield, before Moseman relocated to Kasson Township, in Leelanau County, Michigan, sometime around 1875. In 1878, a post office opened in Oviatt, a small berg, likely named for Moseman, the only Oviatt family living in the area. Records show the post office closed by 1889. By 1885, it appears the family relocated to Green Lake Township, in Grand Traverse County, where the death record for son Howard shows they were living in Monroe Center. The family relocated again to Traverse City, before 1887, where Moseman remained until after 1910. By 1913 Moseman is selling insurance and real estate in Aberdeen, Washington, where he died in 1916. Records show Moseman worked as a blacksmith, merchant, and later in life as a Realty Dealer.
