This is confusing:
Benton Co., MS 1880 census,page 261A
Lander SPENCER, MaleW30AL GATN
Margarette SPENCER, WifeW40NC NCNC
Willie W. SPENCER, Son8MSALNC
Albert SPENCER, Son6MSALNC
Moses SPENCER, Son5MSALNC
Ollie SPENCER, Dau1MSALNC
Cross Co., AR, 1900 census,June 13, Sheet 12A family 209/216
Spencer, Leander, head, W M Dec 1849, 50, m'd 30y, AL GA TN
", Margerite, wife, W F May 1839, 61, m'd 30y, 6ch, 5liv, NC NC NC
", Willie, son, W M Nov 1872, 27, s MS AL NC
", Albert, son, W M Mar 1873, 27, s "
", Moses, son W M May 1875, 25, s "
", George O., brother, W M Mar 1858, 42, wd., [m'd 10y] MS GA TN
Notice the son Moses, 25, is single and living with his parents.
Meanwhile:
Benton Co., MS 1900 census, June 11, Sheet 5A, family 88
Spencer, Modie L., head, W M June 1873, 27, m'd 4y, MS MS MS
", Mary L., wife, W F, May 1875, 24, m'd 4y, 2ch, MS TN MS
", Warn T., son, W M Sep 1896, 3 s MS MS MS
", John L. son W M Nov 1898, s "
Cross Co., AR, 1910 census, April 15,Sheet 1B, family 15
[ancestry.com has Moses listed as "Moosa L. Thomas"]
Spencer, Moses L., head, M W 35, m'd 15y, MS MS MS
", Mary L., wife, F W, 34?, m'd 15y, 6ch, 6liv, MS MS MS
", Warren, son, M W 13, s "
", John L., son, M W 11 s "
", George, son, M W 9 s AR MS MS
", James, son, M W 6 s "
", Henry, son, M W 6 s "
", Garland, son, M W 3 s "
I would have guessed that it was a mistake to list Moses with his parents in 1900, except there are two Moses L. Spencers who died in Cross Co., AR:
Moses L. Spencer, October 24, 1938, Cross Co.
[also listed as Mody Spencer, October 24, 1938]
Moses L. Spencer, December 21, 1927, Cross Co.
I'll keep working on this.
