Moses Land (1802) South Carolina
Moses Land was born in South Carolina and made it to Garrard Co, KY to wed Catherine Ann Warren (1807-1834) on 20 Apr 1822.I have a copy of the marriage license. The 1830 Census indicates that Moses had an all white home to include:
James Land 0-1 yr old
William Perry Land 3
Joseph Land 8
Moses Land 28
1 Under 5 female
Catherine Ann Land 23
Total 6 persons.
Ann warren died at the age of 28 in 1835. Moses married Elizabeth Wells 1805-1854) on 23 Jul 1840. The 1850 census (which now provides the names) indicate the people at home to Moses as:
Moses 46
Elizabeth (Wells) 45
Moses 17
Richard 14
Samuel 13
John H 12
James 11
Elijah 10
Peter 9
Newton J 7
George W 4
Zachary 3
Joseph Land 58 (Joseph is Moses' Uncle -John Land's son- and Joseph died in 1850 evidently living at Moses' home.) Who is the unknown female child in 1830? How can it be proved that Moses is William Perry's father?
