Moses Adley was born in Waterford, Maine. He was farming in Sauk Center, Stearns County, Minnesota, in 1862 when he enlisted with the Battery. He was single, he hand blue eyes, light hair and a light complexion. He was 5 foot, 8 1/4 inches tall.
On June 24, 1863, Moses was sent to the field hospital where he remained until he returned to duty on September 22, 1863. He returned just after the battle at Chickamauga Creek.
     Moses re-enlisted in Rossville, Georgia. In December of that year, he was detailed to cut logs for the garrison in Tennessee. He reported back for duty on April 5, 1865 and was mustered out with the Battery in August of 1865.
Moses married Lucy on August 14, 1867 while he was still living in Stearns County. Moses and Lucy never had children. By 1890, they had moved to Maine Township, Otter Tail County, Minnesota.
     In his application for pension, it was noted that Moses had lost an eye in an accident "36 years ago by an ox striking me with his horn", making the loss around 1856. This is probably incorrect as no mention of having only one eye was made in his military records and it is doubtful he would have been accepted into the service with only one eye. Moses claimed a disability for "chronic Diorhea and piles, Rheumatism, Heart disease". A Battery comrade, Edward Bloomfield, signed an affidavit for Moses. Edward wrote that the illness Moses suffered was "caused by exposure in camp life, from which his health has ever since been impaired". Edward said it began at while the Battery was near Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
     Moses was a member of the G.A.R., though the post he attended is unknown. He lived for a while with his brother in the state of Washington and was living with his niece in Minneapolis when he died on April 9, 1905.
     He is buried in the southwest corner of the Silent Vale Cemetery in Maine where he shares a stone with his wife. The inscription reads: "Civil War Veteran".
