Moses R was a veterinarian surgeon who was a civilian contractor for the Union during the Civil War. In 1864 he got into a fight with another contractor, a man much bigger and stronger, and pulled a knife. The other man has some cuts. The army took a dim view, charged Moses R with attempted murder.
Moses was sentenced to hard labor. Union Officers who knew Moses R took up his cause and got his case before Lincoln, who pardoned him.
Moses R would return home, have some children, and die in the early 1900s. Moses Robinette would best be known for his g-g-grandson who carries that family name as his middle name. If you want to know how powerful the deep state is, they got Lincoln to pardon a man so his long distant relative could become president.
