Hi Pat, I found the name Mary Moles on my great grandmother's death certificate from Iowa as being her mother. Barsheba was born in the Charleston West Virginia area in 1822. Her father, Nathaniel appears in Kanawha Co. Census of 1830 as being quite old(60-70) in 1830 and his wife appears as being 20-30 in 1830. The 1900 census of Barsheba shows her parents, father as being born in Arkansas and mother as being born in Virgina(so probably West Virginia and in the Charleston area---just a guess). Sorry I can't tell you more for sure but I've been stabbing around in the dark for some time trying to find out Eli's parents. His death certificate had only a court docket record showing his birth date and death date. Do you have any dates on your Emily Moles and her father Edward Moles?? If you get any good information on Mary Moles, born in Virginia about 1800-1808, please let me know. regards, John Voorhees ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2001 9:11 PM Subject: Re: [WVKANAWH] Martins in Kanawha County(ELI-1812) In a message dated 6/5/01 12:13:30 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: Nathaniel White and Mary Moles) in 1836 in the Charleston area and immediately moved to Franklin Co. Indiana, then to Jackson Co. Ia. in 1850/51 then to Cass Co. Ia in 1873. If your line ever runs back to ELI, please let me know. thanks John Voorhees John I am interested in the Mary Moles can you tell me who her parents were and etc? I have an Emily Moles who married James Erasus Ross TUCKER and lived in Kanawha County. They are my 4th great grandparents. I believe that the father of Emily Moles was Edward Moles Sr and I just got some interesting information about an Edward Moles from 1692/93 and it mentions his wife which is the first mention of his wife I have ever seen anywhere.
