Charles-- Look on page 137 of 1880 Catawba Co. Census--He's listed in household of his brother John Calvin Shook & wife, Susan Catherine Lowrance Shook, kids, Carey, Janey, Solen, Bertha. Franklin's dau. Alice, m. in 1893 Thomas Luther Bumgarner; son, Jefferson L. m. in 1893 Emmeline Huffman; dau. Leila m. in 1885 Wm. M. Talbert or Tolbert; son, Jonas m. 1899 Alice M. Hedrick. All these marriages listed in Catawba Co. Marriages 1842-1900. Franklin's wife, Leah, must have died after 1870 as I can't find her after that.

Leah J. Moser 19 Apr 1864 in Catawba County. I cannot find Franklin in the census books aftern 1860, nor can I find either in the cemetery listings of Catawba County.Can anyone offer any information on this couple? Where was Leah J. Moser from? Where are they buried? Did Leah have a sister named Rhoda who married John Shook? Was her father a J. P. ? Any clues at all would be appreciated.
