Court clerk
Moseley served southern Carolina as an Ordinary Court clerk (January 1701-02) directly under Governor James Moore. Moseley ceased his role when Nathaniel Johnson succeeded Moore. A possible friend of Moseley's, John Barnhill (later known as “Tuscarora Jack”), replaced him at that time. Afterward, Moseley worked under Dr. Thomas Bray as a librarian for the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts in 1703. While in Charleston, Moseley demonstrated a fondness for books and administration and, as a good Anglican, even collected religious texts that he later donated to the Anglican Church in Chowan County. Moseley received £5 15s for cataloging the first library in Carolina. This work he performed for Dr. Bray and the Society in May 1703, following the books’ arrival in Charleston.
