Notes:

The scrapbook of his grandson John Blackburn Moyers says that he
"was of German extraction, read that language fluently, and was fond of books. He emigrated from Culpepper Co., Virginia when my father was about 21, to Jefferson Co., Tenn, and settled on Long Creek. where he built one of the first grist mills of the county. He planted a fine orchard. And the Milbeur apple tree and the August pear of superior flavour was brought from Virginia and flourished in his orchard from which Tennessee has been richly supplied; this was about the year 1790.
He was an industrious farmer, an upright and honest citizen but never professed religion."
and that
"Grandfather lived to be about 75 and grandmother about 99 years. They both lie buried side by side in their orchard."
