1765 Act. This Act established a ferry from New Windsor to Augusta.
"By The same Act a ferry was established from the ferry of Moses Kirkland to
the opposite shore on Saludy River, so spelled in the old printed Act. The same
Moses Kirkland became somewhat celebrated in after years as Agent of the British
and Tories, acting in concert with John Stuart in rousing the Cherokees to attack
their borders settlements at the same time the attack on Fort Moultrie was made."
[Chapman. p. 16]
Moses Kirkland was the most notorious of the brothers. Moses was "naturally
acquisitive and hardriving, Kirkland was not above selling rum to the Indians and
dealing in fraudulent land warrants, he soon accumulated numerous tracts of land in
the interior, built a sawmill, ran a ferry on the lower Saluda until he had
accumulated the labor of enough slaves to develop a large tract on the tributary
of Stevens Creek, a branch of the Savannah." He eventually becomes a Colonel in the
Loyalist Army. [Lambert p.4]
Moses Kirkland was eventually taken prisoner along with his son and self exiled to
the island of Jamaica after the Revolution. He dies in a ship wreck on the voyage to
England.

Fourth Generation
7. Benjamine Moses Kirkland.1 Born ca 1749 in Orangeburgh, Winton County, SC.
Information from Jean L Cooper:Benjamin's three sons, Caleb, Moses and William are
known to be some of the earliest settlers to Henry Co. Alabama.They came to Alabama
from Edgefield Co., South Carolina about 1824. The family were known to be loyalist
to the crown and Edgefield was one of the primary sources of resistance to the
revolutionary goals.
After the Revolution many pressures were laid on them to compensate for suspected
and real wrongs that the loyalist performed on the revolutionaries. These included
the seizing of land and personal property. Many loyalist were forced out
of South Carolina and went further into the unsettled territories of Georgia,
Florida, and Mississippi Territories.
c 1750 - Benjamin is born to Snowden Kirkland and Ms. Sibbell or Sibbell ? in
Virginia.
1776 - Benjamin Kirkland was probably a Loyalist supporter to the English. His uncle
Moses Kirkland was a Colonel in the English army and a notorious Tory. Edgefield Co.
seems to have been one of the strong holds of the English against
other surrounding counties such as Laurens and Greenville. After the revolution Tory
property was seized or given a forced sale much as the Tories had done to the
revolutionary supporters during the war. Colonel Moses Kirkland himself
was forced to flee to Jamaica and tried by long distance to get some redress of his
greviances and gain access to hisprevious property. It is not known was happened
to many of the others.
1806 - Benjamin dies in Edgefield Co., South Carolina.
William and his two other brothers, Caleb and Moses migrated to Henry Co., Alabama
after the American Revolution along with other loyalists to the English Crown around
1817-24. They had probably made an earlier stop in Georgia along the way.
