A Biography by Harley Walker, Jr. (4x Great Grandson)
Moses Amos Lawson was born in about 1765 in Halifax County, Virginia.
He enlisted in the Surry County, North Carolina, militia during the American Revolution. He served a three-month tour starting in July of 1780 and was in the Battle of Kings Mountain on 7 October 1780 under the command of Captain Joseph Cloud. Moses then continued to serve a six-month tour under Captain Henry Smith or Captain Meredith to South Carolina. He was in a battle at a place called Briar's River or Creek and other tours ranging after Tories or British sympathizers. Moses served other tours with *William Lewis Wolf and *Jacob Helsibeck (*Pension Department referred to these individuals.)
After the Revolutionary War, Moses returned to his home in Halifax County, Virginia, meeting his soon-to-be wife, Elizabeth Bradley, a daughter of James Bradley Senior. Bradley was a Private in the 4th Virginia Regiment Continental Army line during the American Revolutionary War.
Moses and Elizabeth crossed the state line into Caswell County, North Carolina, to be married on 6 December 1788. Shortly after their marriage, they moved to Surry County, North Carolina, which later divided to form Stokes County in 1789.
Moses lived another 24 years, passing away on 26 October 1813, according to the widow's pension filed by his widow Elizabeth. Moses and his wife are buried in graves marked by faded stones in the Lawson Family Cemetery now in modern-day Lawsonville, North Carolina, on land on the old Moses Lawson property at the end of Brandon Lane near the old Peters Creek township.
