"... Although their numbers increased and their communities thrived, the Shakers met opposition on all sides in these early days. Revival leaders who had received the original missionaries with a friendly smile of welcome soon denounced all Shakers as 'wolves in sheep's clothing,' and as a menace to organized religion. The Shakers, in turn, denounced their enemies in no uncertain terms. They seemed to feel resentful toward Barton W. Stone in particular, and it was recorded in their records that 'Barton W. Stone, the great preacher of spurious gospel, shut his door against us. We feel our skirts clear from the blood of the wicked Cane Ridge' [revival].
Shaker preachers were constantly in danger. They were threatened with mob violence and irate farmers shot at them as they rode along the roads. Their preaching stands and tents were set afire while they slept. One night while camping near a Danville, Kentucky, a group of Shakers was aroused by a great commotion among their tethered horses. ..." | Thomas, Elisha (I41606)

Subject: [KYBOURBO-L] Moses Thomas, PART THREE
Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2002 21:22:29 -0500
(p. 140) . . . It's entirely probable [5] Moses Thomas
may have suffered religious persecution from laws enacted by the English King. [5] Moses Thomas was known to be attending Frying Pan Baptist Church 1791 where he was quite active as shown by the records of that church which was erected 1740. No early records of this church have been found but it seems reasonable to assume he was a member of this congregation before 1791.
If [5] Moses Thomas did indeed suffer religious persecution in addition to severely high taxes imposed by the Crown, it is no wonder that we see him emerging as a "Patriot" 1782. The Public Service Claims (Virginia State Library) shows [5] Moses Thomas of Loudoun County, Virginia furnished the Continental Army 1782 with 525 pds. beef.
The Loudoun County Personal Property Tax Lists 1773 and 1775 show [5] Moses Thomas still in possession of negro slaves GEORGE, JUDE (Judy) and HANNAH. Thomas High is a tithable 1775 in his household.
Loudoun County Order Bk G:517-522 names men recommended for service in the Revolutionary War. [5] Moses Thomas is listed therein May 1778 as a Lieutenant. A copy of his Revolutionary War record shows him first appearing on the roll May 1778 and last December 1779. He served under Capt. John Peyton Harrison's Company, 2nd Virginia Regiment, commanded by Christian Febiger, Esquire. Said record indicates he was hospitalized 8 September 1778 and served guard duty 1779 (General Services Administration Record, Washington, D.C.).
The names of [5] Moses Thomas and his nephew [26] William Thomas appear on a metal tablet attached to the Bourbon County Kentucky Court House as Revolutionary Soldiers who died in Bourbon County (courtesy of Jemima Johnson Chapter D.A.R., Paris, Kentucky). Diagonally west across the street from that Court House is Duncan's Tavern, home of Bourbon County (p. 141) Historical Society, wherein some records pertaining to [5] Moses Thomas can be found.
Said Moses Thomas made oath (Loudoun Co. Va. Order Bk G:284) 1776 - 1783 he had "purchased a premption right of 1000 A. in Kentucky from William Cradlebaugh and obtained a certificate in his own name which he delivered to Major Daniel Boone. The certificate was lost". The following order (Draper Papers, Kentucky Series CC, Vol. 29:59) state Moses Thomas was in Boonesborough 1779. This fact is corroborated by Bourbon County, Kentucky Circuit Court suit #423 wherein appears a deposition taken from [5] Moses Thomas 1812 in which he states having resided at Boonesborough 1779 and Strodes Station winter 1779 and spring 1780.
The very early settlers of Kentucky were often called upon in later life to recall the happenings to which they were participant regarding land grants. There had been much competition among these early settlers to receive choice land. Many lawsuits found their way to the courts in the twenty-five year period following the issue of the land grants. A most interesting deposition was found in one such suit given by [5] Moses Thomas which provides the
reader with knowledge of first hand information concerning those times 1779 has been included (Bourbon County KY Circuit Court suit #146 Benjamin Ratcliff
vs. William Peyton). (The spelling is as it was in the original deposition.)
'The deposition of Moses Thomas of lawful age taken at an oald improvement near the many crossings to be read in evidence in a suit undit examiner and now depending in the Circuit Court of Bourbon County where Benjamin Radclift is complaintant and William Peyton defendant who being sworn deposeth and saith that in the year 1779 he came in company to this country with Enoch mith and we came out together to explore the land on the Rocky ford fork of Licking now called Strodes Creek and at the ford of the creek where I have this day showed Thomas Jones deputy surveyor for the place where I saw Charles Beall mark a tree CB near where Enoch Smith killed a buffalow and we went up a west branch to look for water and came to the place that I have
this day showed Thomas Jones as deputy surveyor Smiths camp in 1779 called for in Craven Peytons entry the time we arrived there was on Saturday evening we stayed there till Enoch Smith dressed leather and made mockasons for us. During the time he was about that business Capt. Richard Spurr and myself went out a westwardly course (p. 142) to look at land and we fell on the creek now called Green Creek we followed down said creek some time to see where it emptyed into Strodes Creek but we got tired and turned for camp and came to a place where Thomas Spencer now lives where the other spring is called for in said Peytons entry which said spring will this day be showed to Thomas Jones deputy surveyor at which spring we agreed to locate land for ourselves and I the deponant was to have the land to the south and the said spur was to have that to the northward but when we got to the office we gave out the notion and adjourned to give Craven Peyton an entry of a 1000 acres at the place before mentioned.
Question by John Tillett: Did you see Charles Beall mark the tree called for in Craven Peytons entry of 1000 acres as his beginning with the letters CP? Answer: I did, Further this deponent, saith not. Moses Thomas'
[5] Moses Thomas and some of his Virginia neighbors petitioned 5 December 1781 the House of Delegates in the General Assembly for permission to have their particular Shelburne Parish neighborhood returned to Loudoun County, VA for reason of access to the Court House at Leesburg. "Cameron Parish comprised all of Loudoun County 1757 1770 when Shelburne Parish was formed. Thereafter, Cameron Parish extended from Difficult Run on the east to Goose Creek on the west and from the Potomac River on the north to Dull Run on the south. An adjustment of the Fairfax-Loudoun boundary put it in both counties in 1798" ("Legends of Loudoun County", p. 46, by Nichols).
Said Moses Thomas was living in the area of Difficult Run 1781 on his twenty year lease from Thomas Blinco. The partial record of petition containing the signatures has been included so descendants could witness how [5] Moses
Thomas wrote his signature.
(p. 143) An order in Fairfax County given 16 September 1783 indicates Thomas Blinco is defendant in a suit with [5] Moses Thomas. Said order indicates Robert Boggess made one round trip of 45 miles from Loudoun County to testify for Moses Thomas.

"Sylvanus Deal enlisted with the original Company A, and served faithfully with the same company till the close. He engaged in farming, at which he was successful. He was elected Lieutenant and held that position to the close. In his latter days, he was much afflicted, and died some years [before 1911]. He was a faithful soldier--a worthy and honored citizen of the county."

CONFEDERATE NORTH CAROLINA TROOPS: 12th Regiment, North Carolina Infantry
12th Infantry Regiment, formerly the 2nd Volunteers, was organized near Garysburg, North Carolina, in May, 1861. Its companies were drawn from the counties of Warren, Granville, Catawba, Cleveland, Nash, Duplin, Halifax, and Robeson. The regiment served in General Garland's, Iverson's, and R.D. Johnston's Brigade, Army of Northern Virginia. After fighting at Hanover Court House it participated in many conflicts from the Seven Days' Battles to Cold Harbor, saw action in Early's Shenandoah Valley operations, and ended the war at Appomattox. This unit sustained 211 casualties during the Seven Days' Battles, 5 at Fredericksburg, and 118 Chancellorsville. Of the 219 engaged at Gettysburg, thirty-six percent were disabled, and there were 3 killed and 11 wounded at Bristoe. It surrendered 8 officers and 139 men of which 76 were armed. The field officers were Colonels Henry E. Coleman, Benjamin O. Wade, and Solomon Williams; Lieutenant Colonels Edward Cantwell, William S. Davis, and Thomas L. Jones; and Majors Robert W.
