I looked for one of my Moyers in NC and found only one, Joshua Moyers 1779 Washington Co NC (prob)

Joshua Moyers is son of Christopher Moyers Jr. 1740 VA; d 1815 TN. (He's in SAR)
HOWEVER, Christopher had property in North Carolina (now White Pine, Jefferson Co, TN)
N. C. land grant was located 6/8 miles east of the Kuntz's on Long Creek a tributary of the French Broad, in what today is the town of White Pine, Jefferson Co TN.

I desc from James Moyers b 1767 who married Mary Blackburn b 1768 to my John Blackburn SR and Janet O'Neal Mathes.

the John B, Moyers b 1764 NC could have easily ID'd himself to be from NC. Not many dates are concrete, including John B's b.d. since they were often off a bit - but he's in the right age range to be child of Christopher & Susanna.

Now, looking at your James Blackburn b 1787 - my John Blackburn's kids have a gap bet 1785 and 1789.

My Blackburns have strong connections to Jefferson Co TN but looking at today's maps, TN, NC and eastern TN are bound to have overlapping borders of the centuries and places can sometimes be deceiving to their time.
If I'm right, that would mean John B. Moyers, living next to James would be his bro-in-law.

Hope you can make heads and tails of this -- it's too close to not be so - maybe a tweak here and there - but that's got to be who they are. I'm going to attach them in my files and note as question marks so you can see how I think it goes.
