Ok I have the following Information from the Nebraska Census lookup list. I started off by looking for a Moses buried in Nebraska and got to this point. I want to find James, in the 1840 and back Census. My assumption is he left N. Y. just after the birth of Thomas. That is why I would like to know the 1840 and back. If he does not show up I will jump to New York and then possibly his place of birth New Hampshire. James R. Moses m Jane Thomas E. b 1836 1850 Claibourne, Union Co, Ohio, shows Thomas E. (a typical mistake) MOSES, age 14, with father James R. 40 (NH) and mother Jane 42 (Ireland). 1860 shows James and Jane in the same place and I believe the clincher may be that Maria MOSES' parents (Lewis and Catharine HEDGES) are on the previous page. Thomas (24) and Maria (16) appear to be married and living in Salt Rock, Marion Co, Ohio, in 1860. There is no Marion MOSES shown in the family. RC Thanks
