Early life and career
Moses was born in Sumter District, South Carolina to Franklin Israel Moses Sr. (who became the chief justice of the South Carolina supreme court in 1868) and Jane McLellan. Though his father was a Jew [1] and his mother a Methodist, Moses was raised as an Episcopalian. He enrolled at South Carolina College (now the University of South Carolina). However, he was honorably dismissed from the freshman class in 1855. He was admitted to the bar in South Carolina and became the private secretary of Governor Francis Wilkinson Pickens in 1860. With the outbreak of the Civil War, Moses was given the rank of Colonel in the Confederate Army and served as an enrolling officer for the Confederate Conscription Acts.

- As Adjutant General, bought one thousand Winchester rifles for about $38,000, and one million central fire copper cartridges at a cost of $37,000. On the order of the Governor, the Adjutant General went to Washington D.C. and procured ten thousand Springfield muskets from the general government, thus anticipating for years in advance the state's quota of arms. These he had changed to breechloaders, which, with alterations in the accoutrements and the purchase above referred to, cost $180,750. Of which Moses, by his own confession, through fraud, was to get $10,000. It was all charged to the state at $250,000.
