(I am reading into this, that your T. A. Moss was the daughter of Juliet Hance, and that she is the sister of Erastes, Rufus, Gemima, and David.)

On the 1840 Jackson Co., TN census, the only probable one for Thereson was James as her husband. The age of Sarah for the 1850 might be a year off, which is not uncommon, but this was the only one that fit the ages for her, her probable husband and first born son, James.

1840 Jackson Co., TN
James Moss
1 male under 5 (James)
1 male 20 to 30 (James Sr.)
1 female 20 to 30 (Thereson)
