Was it Moses Ayers, of Allegany County who married Dorcas Ayers or Moses Ayers, of Franklin County who married Susannah Anne Annae /Payne Laws Ayers
Disputed origins
Which Moses Ayers was the Moses named in the 1777 Will of Nathaniel Ayres, of Halifax County
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ayers-42
I believe Moses Ayers is the son of Nathaniel Ayers of Somerset County, New Jersey [sic: not the one born 1728]. Nathaniel Ayers was a witness to the will of Phillip Cox, father of Dorcas Cox, in Somerset County, New Jersey.
"I am not sure who Moses' father and mother was but it is not the Nathaniel and Rhoda Ayers that died 12 Feb 1777 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Yes this Nathaniel had a son Moses but he went to Franklin County, Georgia, I believe there is a possibility they were related to our Moses. I found this out by working with a descendant of this other Moses. Need to do more research and see if we can find the father in western Maryland, Pennsylvania or New Jersey. So the Nixon Family Memorial book is wrong on who the father was." --unknown
I keep seeing arguments that this Moses cannot be the son of the Nathaniel Ayers, 1700-1777, who is also listed in the "Treman Family" books[5] (public domain as it is over 75 years old) with the same information as in the Nixon books it seems, but I have never seen this claim with any source at all. I myself have not seen the Nixon book. The Treman book doesn't list it's sources, at least not well nor often. I've seen warnings that all sources written after the Treman book could have used it as a source (Treman 1901 and 1905, Nixon 1970). However, we have two published genealogies vs. nothing. Note that this Nathaniel Ayers 1700-1777 is/was connected as father for this Moses Ayer before I made this commentary. I would love to see any original sources that confirm or deny either theory. --McClure-3513 14:57, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
