TN in 1881, fifty years after having left TN for AR. Below are the J and Jacobs from the 1860 &1870 CA Census. Maybe someone can use them.

I read about your Jacob MOYER at the Nat'l Archives. There are books that make mention of him traveling with the Indians. That's how I remember this person. He was very affluential w/regards to this Expiditon to California. Nat'l Archives is online - lost the bookmark. Goto http://www.google.com and conduct a search. Once there you can run a search for him. Try the Library of Congress too. That might be where I seen it as well. I know there are books in publication and at libraries on this guy because I run the MOYERS board and always have a keen eye for any MOYER(S). There is a lot written on a John MOYER(S) seen spelled both ways as well as MOHR MUIR and MEIR or MIER as well. Can't tell you anymore -good luck. P.S. Have you tried areas of California Natural History?
