Parents of Moses Willocks, Blount County
We can now prove that Moses is a son of Dianna Willocks of TN and NC.The logic behind this reasoning is that Moses had a son named William B. Willocks.In 1870, William has his aunt living with him.Her name is Elizabeth Willocks and her age is 40.We know she never did marry but had one son named L. F. Willocks.In 1870 William has in his house a Leandi Covington who is age 17.
In the 1860 Cherokee county NC census, Elizabeth, age 30, is living in the household of Dianah.In the same household is Franklin L. Willocks, age 6.Going on back to 1850 Blount County we have the same Elizabeth living in the household of Dianah Wilcox.Her mother and siblings in this census are all called by name Willix/ox/ocks in all subsequent census records.
Having linked Moses and Dianah, we believe that Robert Willix in the 1840 Blount County Census is the husband of Dianah.Comparing the ages of children of Dianah in 1850 to the numbers and ages of the people in in the Robert Willix household yields an exact match except for the age of Dianah being off by one column.Also there is an extra female in the 1840 census who cannot yet be accounted for.Apparently Moses is not in their household in 1840.
