Footnote: Elizabeth Mosley's parents both died around 1863. She and her sister, Amanda Mosley were taken in by their father, John Mosley's sister, Lavinia Mosley who had married John Logan. In the 1870 and 1880 Census Elizabeth and Amanda are living with the Logan's. In the 1870 Census, they are listed as Logan, but in the 1880 census, they are listed as Mosley and with a note that they are the nieces of Lavinia Mosley. The 1880 Census is a two page entry, so you need to see the prior page to find Lavinia and her daughter. Lavinia's son is listed on the next page with Elizabeth and Amanda.
