Notes

  • First appearing in the census in 1860, Moses was reported as 2 years old.

    1860 Federal Census, Chambers County, Alabama, 17 July, PO Beulah, page 39 (scan 925), Hse/Fam #280
    Daniel Wright 25 M Farmer $0 Real Estate #250 Personal born GA
    Miram Wright 24 F born GA
    James W Wright 7 M Laborer born AL
    Andrew W Wright 5 M born AL
    Moses Wright 2 M born AL

    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.

    Thanks to Greg and Amy King, who have careful and documented information about Nancy and the children.  Much information comes from family sources, but comments help to authenticate, making the information trustworthy.
