You must remember that up until 1847, Saline county was part of Gallatin. That's why Daniel is in the 1840 Gallatin Co Census. Also, sometimes people talk to the census taker that don't have all the facts. The census then has faulty info. Another thing, people don't always report there correct age. My grandmother was go for that. What bothered me was not finding the right marriage records. An answer to that may be Hamilton Co. If Joseph was living in the northwest part of the county where Moses lived, he may have married in Hamilton Co. Hamilton co is hard to get records on line. The state wide database does not have Hamilton co in it. Sorry to hear about your loss. I guess it would be hard to get excited about genealogy right now. Let me tell you, I was excited. This was a tough nut to crack. My wife and I have a private joke. One of my grandmother's sisters was born in Bowling Green, Ky. Her folks moved there, had a baby and came back. They left Norris City, White, went to Bowling Green, came back to Omaha, Gallatin Co. There name was DeWitt. My great aunt Margaret Amazona DeWitt married George B. McGhee in 1899. Don't know anything about him and have never researched that family, but a lot of folks moved around in the Hamilton, White, Saline, Gallatin area, and other counties too. Write when you get back.
