Moses Brandenburg was a farmer his entire lifetime. An 1870 map of Clinton County shows that his farm adjoined the farms of his father, William, and his father-in-law, Harvey Gallaher in Washington Township.

Hinshaw's American Quaker Genealogy shows that Moses D. and his family were received on request into the membership of the Friends Church on February 21, 1870.

Moses lived in Clinton County during his entire lifetime, with the exception of two years, 1858 - 1860, when he resided in the vacinity of Stonington, IL. where his brother, Aaron Lived. Two of his children, Templin and Rodney were born in Illinois.

Moses Brandenburg was a member of the "Squirrel Hunters" - Ohio's Minutemen in the Civil War -- a group which responded to the call of Ohio's Governor David Todd in 1862 in preparation for what was known as the "Siege of Cincinneti". At that time it appeared that the Confederate Troops might attempt an invasion of the North. This unit was under the command of Major General Lew Wallace, later to become known as the author of "Ben Hur".
