• Notes

  Occupation: Moses is listed as a Farmer in the 1850, 1860, 1870 & 1880 Census. Age Variation: Moses is listed as being born in 1803 in the 1850 Census. 1860 Census: There is a Mary F Saunders living within the household of Moses Saunders. His wife Nancy is the same age. It is unclear how or if Mary is related to Moses. They also have a Patsy Planck living in the household that was born in 1810. It is unclear who she is or if she is even related. The next on the list is Prudence Saunders, who was incorrectly put as Prudence and should be listed as Bruce. The next is the son Raleigh listed as Rolley. FindA Grave: Although findagrave has him listed as being born in 1806, the 6 that they say it is looks more like a 3. All Census records show him being born in 1803
