I am trying to find an Elizabeth MOYER born in Indiana and her ancestors. Deduction from
census indicates that she was born about 1822. In 1837, she married James Mattox in Vigo
Co. IN. After James' death, she married Benjamin Coppock in Clay Co., IN. A web
search of the 1820 reveals that there were only 4 Moyer as head of household in Indiana.
Two of those resided in Lawrence Co., IN - Andrew and John B. The other 2 resided in
Orange Co. - Moses and J.F. The same search in 1830 results in 13 Moyer in the state as
head of household. In Lawrence Co., there were none. In Orange Co., there were 6 -
Frederick, George, John, John B., Matthias, and Moses. I have included the page numbers
for those census below. The closeness of the location in the 1830 census indicates to me
that they all were related. I also surmise from the data in those census that the J.F of
1820 was the Frederick of the 1830 census. The 1830 census of Orange Co., contains 3
households with a girl b!
etween 5 and 10 years. Those households are John, Moses and Frederick.
Does any one have information on these families? I would be glad to share descendancy
information if you are interested.
