I agree that the information from the Latter Day Saints that is on ancestry.com has to be wrong. I do know Moses Joshua Harley is in the 1830 Census in Gibson Co. and that would jive okay with the dates you gave me for the county formation. He married and had a child there in 1839 and he and his wife and child are in the 1840 census in Gibson Co. as well. He then moved to Mississippi. I think his parents lived and died in another county in TN. They may have died in 1815 when he was only three, but it would have to be in a county like Smith. I will check there.... you gave me the only lead I have yet on finding his parents from that early in the 1800's. Thanks for your time and good luck with your family searches. I really appreciate you spending so much time answering my questions! Take care, Amy : ) P.S. I'll let you know if I find anything about his parents!
