Desc. of Edward Mozley of Va. and Ga.

I am aware of a John W. Mozely who testified on a deposition for a Civil War pension for children of my G.G. grandfather, Andrew J. Rose, in Johnson County Illinois. He claimed that he knew my ancestor most of his life, probably starting in Maury County Tennessee and later, in and around, Vienna, Johnson, Illinois, from 1840 till his death in 1876. In my research, which I've since lost, I found that the Mozely families came to Illinois by oxcart from Tennessee. Not sure exactly when. I was contacted some years ago by a descendent of this Mozely family.
