The following info taken from 1900 census Fayette County>Dunbar Twp, sheet 13a written or stamped sheet number 273a on line 33, no occupation is listed for James. So hope this is who your looking for. When I looked at the 1910 census, I couldnt find either nancy or James, there was a James Moody listed as living in the same twp Dunbar but his birth year is 1882 which doesnt match up to James the son listed birth year of 1894 in the 1900 census but I get the feeling somehow there related.
I have a picture on my Family Tree website: http://users.adelphia.net/~barbee44/BALSLEYALBUM.html One of my Balsley's from Uniontown/Connellsville is standing by an auto. I'm trying to figure out which of my grandmother's sisters this lady is. Does anyone know what year that car is? Also note at the very top of the page the old Balsley Barber shop. This was on E.Main St. in Utown. Thanks for your help. My hobby is Genealogy; I collect ancestors.
