Person:Moses Quarles (1)

Parentage

This Moses Quarles, according the the following Genealogy.com Message Board Post was the son of Hubbard Quarles, as follows:

There is a inventory (without will) for a Moses Quarles in Bruswick County which states at the end of it..."returned by Court by Constant Quarles, his adminstratrix", 27 July 1801, in Brunswick County. There is also something I have seen, which indicates there may be a Bastardly Bond, which might suggest the reason this was in court in the first place. So, it is possible that this Moses did have children maybe not by Constant Fisher. Second this Moses who does marry Constant Fisher is the son of Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick. I also know that by reading the inventory. Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick willed to his son Moses a slave named Harry in 1779...Harry is found in this Moses' inventory. Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick had a daughter named Catey who married a man named Lanier. A William Lanier is one of the people who proved Moses' inventory. So, the Moses who marries Constant Fisher is the son of Hubbard Quarles of Brunswick.
