Further info via Diane Cheuvront chevie@wi.rr.com Moses Elsworth Cheuvront was the son of Joseph Cheuvront III and Hannah Rouse. He was born on November 6, 1846 near Ravenswood, Jackson County, Virginia (now W.V.) He died June 19, 1919 Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska. He is buried at Wyuaka Cemetery in Lincoln, Nebraska. (see photo of headstone) Moses was a substitute Volunteer in the Union Army. He was paid to take the place of one William M. Kline. Moses served in Co. A 7th West Virginia Infantry Volunteers from March 3, 1865 and was honorably discharged from service on June 27, 1865(3months, 25 days of service). He was at Appomattox Courthouse when General Lee surrendered to General Grant. Moses signed his last name as "Chevront" on all of his correspondence with the War Department, pension bureau. This is the way that the government spelled his name on all his forms, so he apparently went along with it in hopes of not causing confusion with the paper work. . After the war he immigrated to Nebraska following his Uncle Lemuel Cheuvront I . Moses married Vilena Alice Carey on September 10, 1874 in Cass County,
Nebraska. Vilena was born September 6, 1858 in Iowa. She died December
13, 1910 in Lincoln, Lancaster County, Nebraska and is buried at the Wyuaka
Cemetery.
