    Moses Farris was a son of James Esom Farris (1722-1810) and Susanna Luellen (Malcom) Farris (1726-1814). He married Louisa Colter. Moses Farris was listed in the 1840 census of Kentucky Revolutionary War Pensioners , 78 yrs of age, living in Rockcastle County, and with son in law, John Newcum Sr. (1781-1859) and Daughter Mary (Farris) Newcum (1773-1869).


    Moses died 3 June 1841 and is believed to have been one of the first burials at Negro Creek Cemetery. This is supported only by oral family history. This information was stated to me by Deloy Duff. Deloy is the Great Grandson of Wilson Owen Farris. He is the Great Great Grandson of George Farris.
