Mary J. Moyers b. Dandridge TN
This is Mary J. Moyers and her mother Sarah Jane"Sallie" Jones Moyers and her brother Albion Bruce Moyers. (or at least I think it is)
Sarah is shown as age 62 making her born in 1818 which is the correct year for Sarah Jane Jones Moyers, wife of Wyley Moyers.
A.B. is listed as 20 which would make him born in or about 1860 and Albion Bruce Moyers son of Sarah and Wyley Moyers was born January 1859.
Mary J is listed as 39 making her born abt 1841/1842 and our Mary J Moyers was born about 1843
The spelling of Myres is common mis spelling for Moyers, however, Mary J has two sons William and John, did she marry a relative or not marry at all?
Found in 1880 Limestone County, Alabama census E.D. 189 Beat 9 Taken on the 2nd and 3rd day of June.

If anyone can shed light on Mary J. Moyers, daughter of Wyley M and Sarah Jane "Sallie" Jones Moyers please help me.
Wyley and his family moved from TN to Limestone County, Alabama after the 1870 Rhea County, Tennessee census where they were found living. (see below)
Wyley is listed as Willie but we all know how the names were botched up in a census report.
