      Rev Moses Crowson
      Birth: Oct. 6, 1778, North Carolina, USA
      Death: 1862, Lowndes County, Mississippi, USA

      In "THE LOST SOLDIERS", An Index to the Complied Service Records of VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS 1784 - 1811, Volume 1, by Barbara Schull Wolfe: Moses is listed with his father, William and brothers Aaron, William Jr., and Richard, as serving with Ensign Blair's Detachment, formed in 1794, to protect the settlements against Indian warfare South of the Ohio.

      In June 1817 the Cahaba Valley Church, of Bibb County, Alabama was constituted about three and a half miles west of Brierfield by Moses Crowson and William West, with twelve members. This makes it one of the oldest Baptist Churches south of the Tennessee River. (Baptist of Shelby County, by Ray M. Atchison, page 80, from the 1840 writings of Hosea Holcombe, minister. It is interesting to note that the Holcombes and Crowsons many years later intermarried, and their descendants still live in the same areas.)

      From the "History of Shelby County, Alabama M, by E.B. Teague, Chapter 6 comes the following: "In the same neighborhood with Moses Johnson, (North of Montevallo, Shelby County, Alabama ) were the Harlesses, Crosses, Hawkins and Crowsons, Rev. Moses and Richard."

      The year 1818 witnessed continued strides in the more through organizations of Baptist Churches in the Alabama Territory, Cairaba Organization organized in 1818. The organization took place with a Cahaba Valley Church, within what became Bibb County. Ten churches were represented at this meeting: Mulberry, Bethel, Enon, Ebenezer, Bethel (Tuscaloosa), Cahaba Valley, Unior Alamabe, Clater, Shiloh, Salem and Canaan. Moses Crowson was the first moderator and Willie Davids, the first Clerk. There were 259 members in 10 churches". (Info: Kenneth R. Crowson)
