Moses Stevenson is historically (family history) believed to be the tenth of twelve known children of William ("Little Gabriel") Stevenson (1725-1809) and Mary McLelland (McClelland?) Stevenson (1730-1811), both born in Ireland, came to Pennsylvania with their families, married in Pennsylvania in the mid-1750's, and moved to North Carolina in c1762.

Moses first married Ann (Fanny or Annie) Ewing (1782-a1820), who married c1800 at North Carolina. Fanny was the daughter of Nathaniel Ewing (c1747-1822) and Rebecca Osborne (1747-1815). The family, along with Moses's brother James Stevenson (1768-1850) (and his family) and James' brother-in-law, Andrew McKensie and his family, along with a large party of emigrants, crossed the mountains and settled in Christian County, Kentucky in c1814. Moses and Fanny were the parents of seven known children, namely:

1. Cecilia Stevenson Dishman (???-1822)
2. William Mortimore Stevenson (1802-1831)
3. Mary Caroline Stevenson McKenzie (1804-1838)
4. Miles Ewing Stevenson (1806-1836)
5. Jane Amelia Stevenson Stevenson (1808-1893)
6. Nancy Melissa Stevenson Nichols (1811-1856)
7. Sophia Elizabeth Stevenson Lacy (1815-1863)

After Fanny died, Moses remarried to the widow, Mrs. Sarah "Sally" Watts Ewing (1782-c1869) on 01 Jun 1820 at Christian County, Kentucky. Sally was the widow of James W. Ewing (1777-1818) and the daughter of William Watts (1754-1819) and Rachel Davidson (1756-1858). Moses and Sally were thought to have had two additional children, namely:

8. Martha Stevenson (???-???)
9. Adelaide Ewing Stevenson (???-???)

Were they twins? Were they born after Moses died? Did they die young? Nothing is known of them.
