Dear Listers:
Seeking information about Samuel MOSS and his family. Samuel was born ca 1824 in unknown
co in VA. He is listed in the 1850 Clay Co Census, Washington Twp, as well as the 1860
census index, same location. I have not seen the 1860 census record, but the 1850 record
lists him:
Samuel MOSS, 26, laborer, b VA
Sarah, 20, b IN
Tabitha 2, b IN
George 1, b IN
Samuel lives next door to a John MOSS. I think they were brothers and that they were
siblings of my ancestor who lived in Clay Co in 1840. If so, both Samuel and John could
be the 2 males listed with Holly MOSS in the 1840 census.
My ancestor was Anne and she had a sister, Nancy; both were daughters of Holly MOSS.
Nancy, married to Larkin Wray/Ray, is listed in the 1840 Clay Co census. John, Samuel and
Anne were under the age of 20 in 1840, which fits the 1840 listing of 2 males and 1 female
with Holly Moss. I think they are related, but I have no proof. Does anyone on this list
have anything that could help? Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Mary Sylvester
