• Notes

  Moses Chitwood, likely son of Richard Chitwood and his wife Winney, was probably born in Cumberland County, Virginia, in about 1755. In the 1770s, many member of the Chitwood family moved south to the area that is now Rutherford County, North Carolina. In 1779, he, along with Shadrack Chitwood, was convicted of treason by the Superior Court of Salisbury. They were both sentenced to death, but they were recommended for clemency on 18 October 1779.[1] No later record of him has been found.
