He received his education in the schools of Ireland and immigrated to the United States in 1860. During that year he worked in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and in the succeeding year (1861) he enlisted in Co. D, eleventh Pa. Reserve Infantry. He participated in the battles of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Seven Days Fight and the Wilderness, and was honorably discharged at Pittsburgh, June 13, 1864. He was shot through the leg at Fredericksburg and was unavailable for duty for thirteen weeks. At Gaines' Mill, September 27, 1862, he was captured by the Confederates and placed in "Libby Prison," where he remained for three months and twenty-seven days before he was exchanged. He was then sent to parole camp at Annapolis, Maryland, and rejoined his regiment in March, 1862. After the war closed Mr. Moreland engaged with Brice, Walker & Co., of Pittsburgh, in the glass business and remained with them for nine years. He then visited the island home of his childhood. After one year spent in Ireland he returned to Pennsylvania and served for eleven years as superintendent of C. H. Armstrong's coal works. On April 1, 1889, he removed to West Newton and embarked in the livery business. He had a large livery, sales and feed stable, a large and fine selected stock of horses, kept excellent buggies and carriages and built an extensive and paying trade.
He was a republican. He and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church.
