Thanks so much for the replies to my post. I have found that Ancestry.com had a mistake and Jeremiah Moles was not in the 1850 Fayette co, Va census. Darn! Did find his son : Fayette County 1850 Isaac Moles 45 , Mary (Riston) 41 , Elizabeth 19 , Robert 16 , Henry 22 , Rebecca 14 ,Jackson 12. I have really hit a brickwall with Jeremiah . There was a Jeremiah Moles in the 1810 Giles Co., Va census. My ancestor Henry Scott married in Giles Co in 1816 and Elizabeth and Jerry Moles signed permission papers. This leads me to believe that this Jeremiah Moles is not the one that married Milly Reynolds in 1809 Patrick CO., Va . Elizabeth Moles was still in Giles Co., Va in 1819. I have found a Jeremiah Moles in the 1824 and 1827 personal property tax lists and 1830 census for Logan Co.,Va . and have been told that there was a Jeremiah Moles in the 1830 to 1840 period in Grayson Co., Va. or in Fayette Co., Va from 1830's to late 1840's I would love to work with anyone out there who have access to these 1830 to 1850 records. Is anyone researching Edward Moles that ended up in Kanawha Co., Va. after 1820 ? I have seen him listed as being born 1770 to 1784. I am thinking he is probably the son of Edward Moles ,Jr ,Jeremaih Moles,Sr .or Edward Sr . Am thinking he is either the brother or father of my Jeremiah Moles. Its a good thing I like puzzles, hmm ? Thanks again for all the help! Barbara
