Oil on canvas, artist
unknown, 1883
Born in North
Carolina in 1795, William Moseley pursued a legal
career in his native state before moving to Florida
in 1835. Florida became the 27th state of the Union
on March 3, 1845, and in the first statewide election
for governor that year, Moseley successfully ran
against one of the best-known public figures in the
state, former territorial Governor Richard Keith
Call.
As governor,
Moseley encouraged agriculture in the state,
especially the planting of citrus, avocados, tobacco,
and cotton. He was a strong supporter of states'
rights and favored the establishment of state-funded
public schools. The state capitol was completed and
fully occupied in the first year of his
administration. After his term of office, Moseley
moved to Palatka, where he became a planter and
raised citrus fruit. He died on January 2, 1863, in
Palatka, Putnam County, Florida. Uncle William was my
4th Great Uncle.
