Moses was the son of Adam and Barbara Yerian.
He married on February 28, 1832, Logan County, Ohio, to Mary Shaw born ca.1806 in Ohio.
They were living in Columbia City, Whitley County, Indiana, at the time of the 1860 census.
Like his father, Moses was a gunsmith. At one time he had a gun shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
The plat map of original land entries shows that Moses Yerian owned several properties in 1837; one for 120 acres in Thorncreek township and the other for 80 acres in Smith township.
Birth year shown above is approximate.

Improvements.
It is with great pleasure that we notice several new buildings being erected in our pleasant little city. Our old friend Alf. Bainbridge is erecting a fine dwelling house in the south west part of town, which, when finished will be an excellent building.
Moses Yerian, is putting up a fine business house in the west part of town, on North side of Van Buren Street, which begins to show off finely.
The First Presbyterian Church at this place, has just finished a nice little home for worship, in the North part of town.
Henry Beeson, Jacob Slesman and "Father" Jay are finishing off their new buildings, besides other improvements going on in this city. This is the right spirit gentlemen, pitch in, Columbia City can be something yet. Working bees always drive out the drones – a fact.
