    Notes:

    Joseph, the fourth son of John and Mary, was born March 20, 1750 on Deep River, Randolph County, NC. About 1770 he married Ann Brown, daughter of Grace (Thompson) Brown and Daniel Brown, a Quaker preacher. Ann was born in Virginia, January 22, 1755. Joseph and Ann had thirteen children. (Data on these families found in the "Short History of the Moon Family").

    They lived in Randolph County, NC. In 1796 Joseph and Ann and their children, some of whom had married by then, left North Carolina and went to Jefferson County, Tennessee, East of Knoxville about 20 miles, where they lived for several years. It was here that James, son of William and Jane, was born. In 1802, Joseph bought about 200 acres of land from John Chester in Jefferson Co, TN. However it was slave territory and since Quakers were opposed to slavery they moved north and formed a colony near Martinsville, in what was Highland County but is now Clinton County, Ohio.

    Two sons, Daniel and Joseph, and their families were the first to leave Tennessee, in the spring of 1808. Autumn of the next year the father and mother, Joseph and Ann, with their younger children, and two sons William and Jesse and their families went to Ohio. By 1811 the rest of the family had followed to join the colony which, with their coming, numbered 55 persons - 34 males and 21 females. They were the founders of what is now Clark Township, Clinton County, OH.

    In this colony were many artisans as well as farmers. The Moons of that day were well equipped for life in a new community, with carpenters, coopers, harness makers, blacksmiths, cabinet makers, stone masons, saddlers, plasterers, mechanics, gunsmiths included in their number. William and Jesse Moon were well known for the quality of guns they made and they did an extensive business in that line. It is likely there was a preacher in the group. We know there have been many in religious and educational work since.

    Ann Moon died August 31, 1824 and Joseph died April 14, 1832. They were buried in the Newberry Cemetery in back of the Newberry Quaker church at Martinsville, within shouting distance of the first homes of the Moons in Ohio. The inscriptions on the stones are still legible but we are told the stones need resetting.

    From 1808 until 1811 Joseph, his wife and family, eleven sons and two daughters, moved to Ohio and settled about a mile or two east of Martinsville in what is now Clark Township. In all fifty-five persons, thirty-four males and twenty-one females made the journey to what proved to be the Promised Land.

    Joseph died in Martinsville on the 14th day of the 4th month of 1838. He was 88 years and 25 days old. Ann died on the 31st day of the 8th month on 1824. She was 69 years and 7 months old. (Newborn Stone Records)
