1920 Census Notes:
Mariah is widowed in 1880 and lives alone. Since her son Edwin Moberly has not been found, I imagine she has no means of support. She tries repeatedly to be returned to the pension rolls after the death of her second husband but to no avail.
Enslaver Information

Enslaver Notes:
There were two widowed Elizabeth Moberleys living in Madison County, approximately the same age, and enslavers in 1860. They each had a son who was also an enslaver in 1850 and 1860. However, only Elizabeth Shelton Moberley and Thomas Shelton Moberley mother-son duo could have been the enslaver of Edward Moberley in both 1850 and 1860.
