In my family history it states that john green moseley and wife martha c. oneal and 3 children and one mammy left shelbyville and went to texas after the civil war. they possibly stopped in marshall county to say bye to marthas parents. They went by wagon, carrying only what the wagon could carry. when they got to the mississippi they went on a steamboat down the river . at the Miss. they took apart the wagon and left the wooden parts behind and crated up the metal parts. when they got off the boat they had to stay put til they found the wood parts to rebuild the wagon. these are my questions: where would they likely have gotten the boat at from shelbyville? from Marshall county? where was the likeliest jump off spot? are there any steamboat passenger records for the Mississippi riverboats? are there any on line? thank you for any pointers you may have. gloria ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Hi Gloria, Not sure about riverboats, perhaps someone else on the list could help. I know there was a big port at Memphis, perhaps they could have traveled there first? There is a really big book in the Shelbyville Library on the MOSELEY family. I wonder if there could be additional information in there? I am remotely connected to them. My great uncle Robert Lewis Couch married Annie Lucy Moseley, daughter of Drucilla Clinton Johnson and Thomas Green Moseley. Where did your Moseley's go in Texas? Thomas and Drucilla stayed in Bedford County, but Robert and Annie lived in Dallas for many years. I wondered if your John Green Moseley lived nearby?

I am looking for information about my mother 's gr gr uncle. He was born about 1841, parents J. C. b. 1823 & Sallie b. 1826 [Sarah Bird] My family has his name as John nicknamed Jack, 1850 census entry has Henry. I am open to all suggestion where to locate his grave AND military records. Our verbal history says he died and did not come home. That is what I want to prove if he died during the Civil War or he just didn't come home. I wonder if he married before he enlisted.
