Since the Oregon queries are flying so thick and fast these days I thought I
would slip in a non Oregon one;
I need to see if somebody who has Ancestry can check this Census image and
see if someone is missing here or is Joseph really listed as his mother's
sister?

I have him listed as male age 2/12 in the 1860 Census which I have, and I
also have figured out hwo Rachel's father is since i find him in 1860
married to Christy Ann or Christianne as they list her in the LDS index. I
have Stella married 28 Jul 1892 to Charles Moody and she d. 1897. I have
Joseph ma to Rosa F. Servis on 9 May 1898, but apparently not in Illinois.
So mostly I am interested in sorting out why this census index entry is so
weird. If someone stumbled across some good hard evidence about when and
where Charles Moody was born and who the parents of he and Christy Ann
Edmundson (Edmiston is what I have in my famlly file from Personalities of
Melvin Hill Cemetery) my feelings wouldn't be hurt, but I really don't want
to ask anyone to spend much time on those two problems.
