COUNTY COURT JUDGEMENTS
8/8/1765
Cabell vs. Bowen.--Augusta, ss: This day Malcom Allen came before me, John Dickison, one of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the county aforesaid, and on his oath sayeth that he went with Moses Bowen to Dr. William Cabell, and that he, the said Allen, informed Dr. Cabell that his instructions from said Moses Bowen's father was to make a certain agreement with said Doctor, viz: How much his charge must be if he performed a cure upon Moses Bowen, and his much his charge will be if he missed making a cure, and said Dr. William Cabell answered and said that as said Moses received his wound in defense of his country and in his Majesty's service, the country would pay him, the said Doctor, and that his, the said Mose's father, not mother, nor uncle, nor aunt, had anything to do with it: and I said: Then I had nothing more to do with it, and some time afterwards, said Moses came to my house and I went with him down to the Doctor, and the Doctor informed me the charge was L15, some shillings and pence. (Signed) John Dickison, 18th Marth 1767. Same witness continues, 19th March, 1767: Moses Bowen informed me in his lifetime that Dr. Cabell yoused him very kindly during his continuance with him, and also that he in that time, by the Doctor's direction, went to the river to wash his wound, but instead thereof he swimmed over, and upon his coming back the waters went into his body, and was in danger, but was preserved by the help of a canoe. Said Moses was of age when he went first to Dr. Cabell; to the best of knowledge he was of age the April before he went to said Doctor. (Signed) John Bower (from CHRONICLES OF THE SCOTCH-IRISH SETTLEMENT IN VIRGINIA, EXTRACTED FROM THE ORIGINAL COURT RECORDS OF AUGUSTA CO. 1745-1800)
"In the meantime, his four brothers, John, Arthur, William and Moses moved out from Augusta to find homes in the country west of New River. John settled at some point in the Holston Valley; Arthur located in the present Smyth County, four miles west of Marion; and William and Moses took up their abode in the Clinch Valley, but in what immediate locality is now unknown. When Dunmore's War came on the three brothers, Rees, William and Moses went with Captain William Russell's company on the Lewis expedition to the mouth of the Kanawha River; and were prominent figures in the eventful battle of Point Pleasant. Moses Bowen was then only twenty years old; and on the return march from the Kanawha, he was stricken with smallpox, from which frightful malady he died in the wilderness."
