Notes
Census
The Jabez Moor household was enumerated on the 1820 census. Individual members other than the head of household are not individually named. A comparison of the ages of the family members with number shown in the various age brackets appear to include all members of the family at the census date, although there appears to be a discrepancy with the actual age brackets. The total household consists of 3 members which agrees with my records for the family at the census date, however there is an additional male. I believe the corresponding members of the household as enumerated were: (a) 1 free white male of 10 years of age and under 16 [unidentified]; (b) 1 free white male of 16 years of age and under 26 [Jabez aged 33]; (c) 1 free white female of 16 years of age and under 26 [Ruth aged 28].Census
