     William S. Moss was born in 1842, son of Howell Richard Moss and Dionitia Tempe Davis, in Warren County, North Carolina.³
     He also is reported to have been born on 7 December 1834. The problem with his memorial page is that is shows his father as Frederick Moss 191783-1859) and Eleanor Jennings Duke Moss (1797-1857).⁴

     William S. Moss moved to Christian County, Kentucky.¹

     I am not confident that the following information actually is the same person as William S. Moss, son of Howell Richard and Dionitia Tempe Moss. The problem with this is this William Samuel Moss states he was born in Kentucky in the 1880 census. Therefore, the marriage to Serina and everthing after he moved to Christian County, Kentucky is incorrect.

     William S. Moss married Serina J. Truett, 14, daughter of William R. Truitt, on 22 January 1862 in Warren County, Kentucky.⁵

     After Serina's death in 1865, he married Esther Crabb (1848-1915).⁴

     Due to a need for men to serve during World War I, the United States instituted a draft. Obviously, not everyone who was registered for the draft was drafted or served in the military.
