Confirmation from Arlene (Channell) Swecker family group record on Moses and
Margaret. Arlene notes that Moses died of cancer at the home of his daughter,
Eva Jane Channell, near Valley Head, WV. He became ill while in jail for
shooting Jefferson Simmons. Moses and Margaret had four children before they
married. Margaret died when her daughter Margaret Alice was born. The
children were raised by friends and relatives and were never close. Moses, Sr.
was married to Margaret's mother so they were living in same household for
some time. This area was in the mountains near Valley Head, not too far from
Swecker Ridge. Jefferson Simmons is a brother of Chesley Simmons who married
Moses' sister, Sarah Elizabeth Arbogast.

According to Jean (Snyder) Loudin, the family blamed Jefferson Simmons saying
he caused the shooting by Moses. If Moses had only shot him once he would have
been acquitted, but the fatal second shot was the reason for his conviction.

Moses married Margaret Eva Channell on 27 Apr 1874 in Beverly, Randolph Co., Wv. Margaret was born in 1857 in Randolph Co., Va; died on 23 Apr 1882 in Valley Head, Randolph Co., Wv. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
