The info I have is from my Grandfather's sister Bessie DeMoss info that had been passed down through the family.She says: The first DeMoss in this country ran away from France and settled in Virginia.The woman he married was kidnapped from Ireland and sold as a redemptived slave.We do not know her kname.She was married twice.Her name was Kelly when she married DeMoss.In 1812 they emigrated to Ohio.Afterward they moved to Darlington, Wisconsin.
Some of the info they passed down was not totally correct.I found slight errors in some of the info such as number of children or names being correct.I think the above info is correct in the people but I don't think they were first born Americans.All of the info I have been about to verify through census sheets or Internet.Let me know what you think.
