Emily Mosely (1831-1834)
My husband's Emily Mosely (Moseley?) was b. Feb. 1, 1831 in Shelby Co., Kentucky, but her parents are unknown.She married James C. Porter March 19, 1856 in Lincoln Co., MO, and died April 19, 1884 in Lincoln Co., MO.She's buried in the old Sitton cemetery in Silex, Lincoln Co., MO.There is a Fountain Moseley (said to be descendant of George Moseley's son Leonard) living in Lincoln Co., MO in 1850, and the census shows two sons, William R. and Thomas P., living with Fountain .However, Fountain is not found in the 1860 census, but his son, Thomas Payne Moseley, is found in Millwood Twp, Lincoln Co., MO, the same as Emily Mosely-Porter.We believe there is a familial attachment between Thomas and Emily, but we're not sure what that attachment is because Emily is not found with Thomas in the 1850 census showing Fountain Moseley's family.Also, there is a John T. Moseley found in the 1860 Prairie Twp., Lincoln Co., MO census.He was 59 years old (b. abt. 1861) and his wife's name was Martha (age 57).Both John and Martha were born in Kentucky.Their listed children were Martin R. (age 20 and a law student) born in MO.; Benj. F. (age 17 and a farmer) born in MO.; Joseph (age 16 and a farmer) born in Missouri.Can anyone help me identify these Moseleys, or does anyone know who the parents of Emily Mosely were?
