Well, darn. I cheated & looked on ancestry.com under only Mosley in Taney Co. No first name. There appears to be two Mosley families on this 1850 census, ajacent to each other, both with the first initial of E, I believe. I could be wrong, but this is what it looks like. However, the handwriting is so faint, I can't make the families out. they are listed only by the first initial of their first name. Gosh! Maybe this will help. Joy MOSLEY, E.
