MOSIAS JONES. (d. 1808 KY) [posted by E.W. Wallace 2004)
There is limited information concerning Mosias Jones. In Vol. 7 of the Lineage Book of the Daughters of the American Colonists, p, 277, Mosias Jones was married 1st to Lucy Foster and 2nd to Elizabeth (--), and he was the father of Foster Jones, later of Madison Co., KY.
Tradition in the Harris family of Albemarle Co. is that the wife of Foster Jones was Mourning Harris, daughter of Major Robert Harris and his wife Mourning [Glen?]. No documentation is presented in the DAC book, but some dates were given. (Lineage of Mrs. Virginia Field Walton Brooks, born in Jonesboro, Arkansas.) Foster Jones is reportedly the son of an older Mosias Jones who married 1st Lucy Foster (1697-1750)
Mosias Jones was a neighbor of Christopher Harris the elder in Albemarle Co., VA ca. 1751. He was a witness to several deeds in 1762 and 1763. but earlier there is this processioning order:
At a Vestry Held for Fredericksville Parish ye 23rd Sept. 1751 [present was Robt. Harris as one of the vestry)
Pursuant to an Order of Louisa Court dated ye 27th Aug. 1751 it is Ordered that the parish of Fredericksville be divided into precincts for Processioning as follows
(p. 35)
Ordered that Mosais Jones and Christopher Harris do procession all the lands on the upper side of Buck mountain Creek and a Cross Moormans river to the Coty. Line and up the Same to the raged [Ragged] Mountains and under them to Brown's road and down the Same to Buck Mountain Creek.
(Rosalie Edith Davis, FREDERICKSVILLE PARISH VESTRY BOOKS, 1742-1787, Vol. 1
[Manchester, MO, 1978] p. 38)
A similar order involving both men was again ordered by the court dated ye 24th day of June 1752.
(ibid, p. 51)
Albemarle Co. was formed from Louisa Co., and in Louisa Co., we find that Mosias Jones patented land:
Patent Bk 31-231: Mosias Jones, 400 acs. Louisa Co. on both sides the S Fork of Rocky Cr.; 24 Oct 1752. 40 Shill.
(Virginia Genelaogical Society, MAGAZINE OF VIRGINIA GENEALOGY, Vol. 31, No.
2, p. 146)
Albemarle Co. DB 3-158:
13 May 1762 Christopher Harris to Saml. Karr, Augusta, for 65 pds., 331 acres both sides S fork Rockey Creek adj. Henry Bunch, Morias [Mosias?] Jones.
(Rev Bailey Fulton Davis, THE DEEDS OF AMHERST COUNTY, VA, 1761-1807, AND
ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VA, 1748-1763. [Easley, SC: Southern Historical Press,
1979], p. 54)
A subsequent deed, same deed book, pp. 132-133, dated 21 Nov 1768, Christopher Harris to Thomas Grubbs, both of Albemarle Co. The tract of land was 77 acres on both sides of Moremans River. Fairly exact measurements are given. Witnesses were Mosias Jones, Higgason Grubbs, Tyree Harriss, Robt. Harriss and signed by Christopher Harriss Senr Agnes Harris relinquished her dower rights at Albemarle Sept court 1769.
(Ruth and Sam Sparacio, DEED ABSTRACTS OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA
1768-1770 [McLean, VA: 1990], p. 69)
We suspect Mosias Jones who migrated to Madison Co., KY is a younger Mosias Jones whose abstracted land patent reads:
Land Patent Book 24, p. 304 Mosias Jones, 200A, Pr. George Co., N. side of Stoney Crl, above Cedar Island to Chamberlaynes Bed (p. 305) 25 Jul 1746.

His wife was Lucy Harris, but she seems NOT to be of the same family of Christopher Harris the elder of Madison Co., previously of Albemarle Co. [by] E.W.Wallace)
**********************************************************
From "History and Genealogies", by W. H. Miller, Kentucky, 1907, Press of Transylvania Co., Lexington, Kentucky :
Oct. 1, 1796. Mosias Jones executed a power of attorney to his son, Thomas Jones of Greenbrier County, Va. to convey 130 acres to James Kincaid.
Jan. 8 1808, Mosias Jones' will probated, May 2, 1808, children: William Jones given land on Otter Creek, adjoining Isaac Newland, Lucy Maupin, Mosias Jones, Foster Jones, Frances Harris, Elizabeth Daverson, George Jones, Ann Gamison, Thomas Jones, Roger Jones, Sarah Curroum, and John Jones, witnesses, Martin Gentry, Moses Bennett and John Maupin.

"The Richmond Cemetery Inventory of Burials has no listing for a Mosias Jones (1721-1808). If he is indeed buried in the Richmond Cemetery he would have had to have been reinterred after 1856 from another cemetery. This is because Mosias Jones died 48 years before the first burial occurred in the Richmond Cemetery in 1856. Most of the early records of the Richmond Cemetery are lost. After the Battle of Richmond Confederate soldiers broke into the cemetery office during their two month occupation and stole or destroyed the cemetery records up to August 1862. In early 1895, a fire in the cemetery caretaker’s house destroyed the cemetery records from 1862 to 1895. The locations of unmarked graves from 1856 to 1895 have therefore been lost. If Mosias Jones was re-buried in an unmarked grave in the Richmond Cemetery after 1856 its location would today be unknown."

Suggested edit: After moving to Kentucky, Mosias marries Lucy Harris.
Wm. Mosias had several children:Mosias, Foster, George, William, Roger, John, Thomas G., Elizabeth, Roert H. , Rebecca who married a Garrison, Rebecca marries Henry Burnham, a hard shell Baptist preacher.
