Moses Latta

"Moses Latta was born in 1790, in Mount Pleasant township, but in early life removed to Unity township, where he was engaged in farming. During the War of 1812 he enlisted in a company commanded by Captain Reynolds, but before his company reached the field of action a treaty of peace was signed and the troops returned to their homes. He was married to Eliza Graham, who was a daughter of Robert Graham, a native of Greensburg, where was engaged in dealing in horses. Their children were: Mary Jane, married to George R. Hughes of Unity township, both of whom are deceased; and John of this sketch. Moses Latta died in February, 1848, when he was fifty-eight years old." (Hedley)
