Byers 1313 Caledon Topeka, Ks 66611-2411 USA 1-785-266-7508 ============================================================================== ============ FAMILY NOTES HUSBAND NOTES: William LIGON General: He was residing in Owen County, Kentucky in 1840 and applied for a Rev. Pension in 1832(?) from there? WIFE NOTES: Ann DAVENPORT CHILD NOTES: William F. LIGON CHILD NOTES: Richard LIGON CHILD NOTES: Thomas LIGON General: He was taxed for owning land in Sumner Co., Tenn, in Poll Tax in 1820 and 1821. Thomas owned 80 acres on Station Camp Creek... not certain of further land holdings in Sumner Co or if he moved to Owen County, Kentucky with his parents. CHILD NOTES: Joseph Moseley LIGON General: His brother-in-law signed his marriage bond in Wilson County, Tennessee and his name was LIggon on the bond. When he moved to Williamson Co he resided with his sister and family till me some time after 1850 when he was in his 60's and in the 1850 Williamsno CO, Fed. Census they spelled his name LEGIN and in the 1860 Census Fed.Cen. for Williamson County they again misspelled his name as Kegan and his wife's name was Elizabeth. CHILD NOTES: Absolom LIGON CHILD NOTES: Elizabeth Ann LIGON CHILD NOTES: Frances Moseley LIGON Death: She died on the family homestead there in Williamson County, Illinois at the age of 77yrs old. General: I think Frances M LIGGOR is a misspelled surname in the Tennessee books for marriage to Graham Snoddy and her surname was LIGON. As she a decendant of Thomas LIGON of early Virginia, settling there about 1640 in the Jamestown area. Joesph LIGON her brother, As Asa MOSLEY signed Joseph LIGON's marriage bond in Wilson Co, Tn in 1830. Only further research will provide diffinite information about this fact of information. The MOSELEY had three children while in Tenn, and then they moved to Owen County, KY. and had their youngest there and they were in Kentucky for the 1840 cessus. They later moved to Illinois and resided in Williamson County, Crab Orchard twp, Illinois. In the 1860 census we find Frances M. MOSLEY residing within the household of James R. ADAMS and his wife Nancy E. and Frances ages is listed as 59 yrs old. It is said that she died on the family homestead. Thus we can assume that Nancy E. was one of the Mosley's children born in Owens , Ky about 1835. She was taking care of her in her later years. More research on this as I count a total of eight children as one source stated, and that would mean that she had three children by her first marriage to Graham. At least one daughter and two sons and we only know about Greenberry at this time and new to do more census work on the 1830 Sumner Co, TN federal census as GreenBerry could have been her youngest child.
