My 5th great grandparents are Moses Cushenberry and wife Ann unknown.
Moses was born ca 1720-1740. He was from Virginia. He was in Kentucky
in Fayette and Bourbon counties as early as 1783. He died in Bourbon
Co., Ky in 1792 where he left his inventory. The Cushenberry name has
been spelled several ways in records in Kentucky. Moses settled in the
Limestone area in the town of Washington and Licking Creek and the land
eventually became Mason Co., Ky although it was in Fayette and Bourbon
counties when Moses lived there.

It is believed Moses was a part of the Virginia Quisenbery family and
poossibly a brother to Aaron Quisenberry, Sr. son of Humphrey
Quisenberry or Humphrey's brother William Quisenberry although I am still
looking for a record to prove it. Below is relationships that shows the
Quisenberry family and intermarriages and the Traveling Church were known
to my Moses Quisenberry that died 1792 in Bourbon Co., Ky.

Moses and Ann's children are:

(1) John Cushenberry married Rebecca Dowden10 Dec 1791.
(2) William Cushenberry... had a daughter Rachel who married Richard
Brown.
(3) Elijah Cusenberry married Polly unknown..... their daughter
Obedience married
(i) Johnson Ellis, (ii) Johnson J. Cockerell.
(4) Vincent Cushenberry m. Mary Davis dau of William Davis 4 May 1791
in Bourbon Co., Ky..
(5) Daniel Cushenberry m. Sally Davis dau of William Davis.
(6) Mary Cushenberry m. Nicholas Lindsay.
(70 Elizabeth Cushenberry m. Zachariah Ross.
(8) Anna Cushenberry m. Vachel Lindsay.
(9) Rachel Cushenberry m. John F. Pullin (Pulliam).

In Fayette County, Ky. Moses sons William and Elijah Cushenbery
bought land from Rev. Lewis Craig and bounded by William Robinson of "The
Traveling Church". The Fayette Co., Ky Tax List A as an example shows
on 8 June 1787 my "Moses Coosenberry" next to Rawleigh Chinn and Smith
Darnell on each side of him with John Tandy on down on that date.

John Quisenberry was also in Fayette Co., Va in a 1788 deed bounded
by Thomas Burris and Robert McMillion and the record was acknowledged in
Orange Co., Va as well as in Ky.

Also Rev. James Quisenberry was in Fayette Co., Ky son of Aaron
Quisenberry and Joyce Dudley. He was born 1759 in Spotsylvania Co., Va and
died in Clark Co., Ky in 1830. He m. 1st Jane Burris dau of Thomas
Burris and Frances Tandy and 2nd to Chloe Shipp.

My Moses Cushenberry's children moved on to Warren Co., Ky and Allen
Co., Ky formed from Warren County. Aaron Quisenberry was also in the
1820 Warren County records. He is the grandson of Aaron Quisenberry and
Joyce Dudley.

My Moses Cushenberry son Elijah m. dau Obedience m. Johnson Ellis 31
Jan 1804 in Fayette Co., Ky. Johnson Ellis died 1814 in Warren Co.,
Ky. Elijah Cushenberry named a son Neil McCann. It should be noted
that the family of Hezekiah Ellis and Mildred Burbridge had a dau who m.
Joseph McCann and a dau Sarah who m. O'Neal McCann. Mildred m. 2nd to
Benjamin Robinson. Also Sallie Ellis married Aaron Quisenberry whose
first wife was Rachel Shelton.

The Kentuckian-Citizen, Paris, Ky dated 22 Jan 1946 states" The
McCann's Joseph and Neal were brothers of "Grandmother Cusenberry." We also
have a Dudley Robinson who married into my Cushenberry family in Ky.

Moses Quisenbery son of Aaron and Joyce Dudley was confused with my
Moses Cushenberry for several years. But my Moses was older born ca
1720-1740 time frame as he died in 1792.

So in my rsearch which started in the 1980's on Moses Cushenberry
continues. If anyone can contribute to what I have it would be very much
appreciated as the people named and the relationships are rather
suspicious. :)
