Surnames: Moon Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lEC.2ACE/474 Message Board Post: Joseph H. Moon, a half brother of my great grandfather, Thomas Perry Moon, moved to Platteville, Wisconsin, and was listed there on the 1880 census. He is the son of Joseph Moon, born about 1815 in Kentucky, and grew up in Jefferson County, Missouri. He married Minerva Dowling in 1841. They had at least the following children: James W. Moon, Claudius Moon, J. Martinez Moon, Ferdinan Moon, and Clara Moon. I suspect he died there. I would appreciate any information about his or his wife's death or families.
