Moss was a clerk and bookkeeper when he enlisted as a private in Co. A of the 3rd VA Cavalry on May 14, 1861. On June 21, 1861, he was discharged for disability due to rheumatism. In November 1862, he applied for a clerk position in the war department, but by March 1863, Moss was serving in Co. B of the 4th Battalion Heavy Artillery. He again requested a clerk position, but it is unknown whether his request was granted.
After the war, he moved to Mississippi, where he was a farmer in Carroll in 1870 and a dry goods merchant in Winona in 1880. Moss died on September 26, 1883 and is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Winona, MS.
