Note: Sometime after the 1850 census of Columbus County, NC, Moses bought large acreage in Marion County, SC and moved his family there. Moses had a dispute over some land with John Adkins resulting in a lawsuit. For some minor infraction, Moses was arrested and was out on bail. David Gibson, security for Moses appearance for trial, heard that Moses was planning to leave the state. Gibson asked Evan Rogers and Ashley Leggett to assist him to take Moses to the courthouse. Moses agreed to go and started with his son Aaron behind him on a horse. At one point, Moses jumped from the horse and ran. Rogers followed and a fight broke out. Moses fell and Rogers took his knife and stabbed Moses and then Rogers walked a few feet and dropped dead, most probably from a heart attack. Anyway, Moses was tried and found guilty of murder on 15 October 1854 and was to be hanged 29 June 1855. Moses escaped from jail 22 April 1855 and went to NC. He would slip back to see his family at night as was caught a second time after being badly wounded. His son Aaron was with him and he told him to escape and save himself. This time Moses was hanged on 5 June 1857. The state of South Carolina confiscated all of Moses property and Lucinda moved the family back to Columbus Co., NC and was living next to her brother Aaron Gore in 1860. Lucinda was married to Mr. Wright after the death of Moses only to discover that he was already married. She had one child, Frances Ellen, by him.
