Christopher Moyers was born in Virginia, and served as a first Lt. in the Revolutionary War. He served at Valley Forge. The record of proof can be found at: revwarapps.org/VAS806.pdf
He received a land grant of 2666 acres after the war and came to the area that is now White Pine Tn which is in Jefferson Co. TN. Before being named White Pine it was called Dandridge Crossing. Christopher had a grist mill and orchards and left a will in Jefferson Co. and lived all of his life there after the war. In his will he names all his children.
Christopher Moyers settled on the Long Creek, on the north side of present day White Pine. He built one of the first grist mills in that part of the county and was a very industrious farmer; upright and honest citizen, never professed Religion, though. His wife's name is recorded only as Susannah in his will recorded in 1815 in Jefferson Co., TN
