It seems plausible that the last two children are probably Nicholas MORSE/MOSS's children if Mary CARTER's first husband died est.17 Jan 1859 in Adams Co,IL. All of this is unconfirmed.
My interest in this family is a son of the child, Abram above. This larger group does end up in Izard Co., AR by 1880.
If anyone identifys with the Nicholas MORSE/MOSS shown here, I would appreciate your help on detailing this family. Any clues could be useful!
Thanks so much for reading.
