    • Prince William County, VA, Deed Book L, p. 21. Moses Quarles acknowledged he had received from Col. Thomas Harrison L35, 18s, 2 1/2d which was Moses' part of the estate of John Quarles. John Quarles died about 1729 [Stafford County, VA Tithables, 1730]. John's wife Anne married Thomas Harrison about 1731 [Five Generations of the Family of Burr Harrison of Virginia, John P. Alcock]. The money Moses acknowledge receiving was his portion of his father's estate, which his stepfather Thomas Harrison had held until Moses reached twenty-one.

    • Land patent (date uncertain). Moses acquired 88 acres on Red Oak Run in northern Brunswick County, VA before 1755. Among his close neighbors were James and Hubbard Quarles. Hubbard had descendents named Moses. The parents of James and Hubbard are unknown. It is even possible that they were cousins, rather than brothers, and cousins of Moses [1728-1801]. James and/or Hubbard provide a fairly strong argument that the older Moses [ca 1695-1734] actually did have a first marriage.

    Property  1764  , Granville, North Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [2] 
    • Granville County, NC Deed Book G, p. 360. Moses sold his Granville County land in 1764. No wife signed away her dower rights on the last deed, legally indicating Moses had no wife when he left Granville. The practice of a wife signing away her dower rights was sometimes ignored in colonial NC, so while there is evidence that Moses was a widower in 1764, the evidence isn't conclusive. The span of years between the birth years of Moses' last two known sons, David [1760] and John [1773] suggests Moses' first wife did die before 1764.

The site was believed to be in Mecklenburg County, NC at the time of the grant, 1765. When the error in locating the NC/SC border was discovered. Moses and his neighbors successfully petitioned King George to have their grants made valid in Craven (later York) County, SC [See Mecklenburg County, NC Deed Book 3, p 149-150; Colonial Records of NC, Vol IX, pp 1260-1263 and Vol XI, pp 250-254]. Kings Creek was, and still is, a good site for a colonial sytle water wheel.

After Moses QUARLES dies, David QUARLES sells this land and wife Anne/Anna also signs the deed.
    Property  1799  Spartanburg County, South Carolina Find all individuals with events at this location  [8] 
    • Moses bought 100 acres in Spartanburg County, South Carolina, along the Pacolet River in 1799. Spartanburg Deed Book F, p. 299. The circumstances of this land purchase and return to its original owners after Moses died suggested that he leased the land for his declining years. The land was almost surrounded by the land of his son, David. Moses' son John and daughter-in-law Elizabeth also owned land within several hundred yards.

Knap of Reeds Creek has silted up and become sluggish in the 240 years since Moses owned land along this waterway. It had a flow large enough to operate a waterwheel mill in Moses' day. The same can be said about Red Oak Run in Brunswick County, VA, the site of Moses' earlier holdings.
