Henry Moser was enumerated with several slaves in the 1850 and 1860 Catawba county NC Census.
I beleive they were all descendants of one Pair of slaves that he aquired between 1810 and 1820.
After studying uncle Henry's will and tracing Camilla and Milus two of his slaves(Mother and son)in the census recrods after the civil war Milus is listed as a Moser but his mother and Grandmother went by McCorkle.
This leads me to believe that the first pair of slaves were
Mccorkles that were either purchased at the death of a McCorkle or came into the Moser family through Marriage.
In 1850 the two oldest slaves are 70 years old and they have died by 1860.
Here are the names of the slaves in Henry Mosers Will
:Dated July 4th 1864
To his Grandniece Lavinia Mock Young he left:
Ned and Wife Katie and four of their children:Rebecca,Julia Francis and Henry,
to his Niece Polly Moser Dagenhart(my great great Grandmother)he left :Eliza and her Child Miles
(Family Tradition says Polly's husband Henry Dagenhartwas the father of Milus),Camilla and her three chidlren:
Candice ,Jane and Merietta.
to his son George Henderson Moser he left:
Peter and Siles and His wife Emma and Theire Increase,
also Silas and emmas Chidlren and their increase:
John,Martha,Mike,Jospehine,Peny ,Samuel and a girl named
Nancy
By the time of his death Uncle Henry Moser was living in alexander County on the Mock Mill Tract.Some of the slaves intermigled with the slaves of Moses and Allen Alexander.
Silas' wife emma may ahve been an Alexander.

hopefully through time we can reconstruct these families.
The Family Of Uncle Miles Moser and Wife Nettie Morrison ahs been traced but none of the others as of yet.
Henry Moser's wife Elziabeth remains a Mystery but I believe she was a McCorkle or a McCorkle widow.
I believe that the census taker was wrong and one of the 70 year old slaves in 1850 was a man or bewteen 1850 and 1860 Uncle Henry Bought Ned McCkorkle
