Reported as Moses Emory in some sources, in the 1870 census this individual was reported as Fred Wright, age 12, and thus born about 1858. Since this is the last child born before the 1870 census, this appears to be the same individual as Moses Emory. I have found no sources that document the name Fred together with either Moses or Emory.
