MOSES MOORE OF
LAUREL CO KENTUCKY
(May 25, 2004)
Census research on Moses Moore of
Laurel County Kentucky has been completed but the GEDCOM file will not be
published until further verification can be obtained. However, I
feel quite confident about the connections made as a result of this census
analysis so I'm posting it here for others to see - hoping to hear from
someone who might have more information. Please use caution because
the only source for the sons of Moses are connections made from analyzing
census records. See the
Lemuel Moore Narrative for further
details about this analysis. If you have any information about these
people please contact me by
email.
