This is my personal genealogy hobby site. The data contained here has been gathered through 20 years of genealogy. Some of it is my research, much of it has been shared with me.

DISCLAIMER: This is my speculative data. I've verified very little of it. Use it for hints and pointers, but do your own research!

It costs me over $50 (US) a month to have this data on the web, so your support would be appreciated! If clicking on advertisments is not your thing, please consider a donation!

Compiler found him on the Union County, TN Census records in 1860 he was listed as 26 years of age, and whoever did the reporting for the census enumerationreported that he was born in TN or the census enumerator wrote Tenn. Compiler found Moses again on the 1880 census, but failed to copy the place of birth of Moses or his parents. His age was given as 51 on the latter record. REF 1.

2).  bobspu.ged  BIO  Per Eva McCARTY, Charity RIGGS ELDER was born about 1833. On the 1860 census, Charity gives her age as 26  in 1880, her age appears as  50.  Neither of these ages calculates to the birth year given, but this is not unusual in analyzing census data. Compiler has estimated a time of marriage for this couple, based on the year of birth of their first child.  This has not been documented.  REF  1.
