Hello, I have one of those "unverified" family traditions that a Charles MOULTON was the father of my ancestress Clara Moulton b. September 1843 in Licking Co., OH. Charles was suppossedly married to Lydia SHERMAN, but disappeared in the Gold Rush of 1849. Like all other traditions, this one seems to have no hard evidence, as of yet. I am not able to prove that "Charles" is his real name. I have been unable to locate the daughter and suppossed mother in the 1850 Census of Licking Co., OH. or in Indiana, where the daughter ended up. Does anyone have access to the 1850 Census of California that can give me a run down on any possible MOULTON listings?
