He even engaged the help of Jean Morris a professional researcher, genealogist. The following is in part her report to us as of May 14, 1998. from the Law Library Tax records Washington, Co ,Pa "Nottingham Twp 1783 - 84 Lick, Amona 2 horses 2 cows 1785 Leak Amerah 1786 Leaks, Americk skip to 1801 Lake, Moses "cooper 10 acres 1 cow 1802 same 1803 same 1804 same 1805-06 X'd off 1807-08 1808-09 Census 1800 Moses and Aaron in Nottingham Twp, Washington Co, Pa 1809-10 Moses is in Elizabeth Twp. Allegheny Co, Pa" From my research notes a grandson recalls his grandfather stating that his (Moses) family came by the way of Chesapeake and that he had lost all track of his brother and sisters because he was 'bound out' at an early age. The way this comment was written down , it is not clear if he was bound out somewhere outside of western Pa and travelled there or that his family was already there. We have extensive documentation from 1820 on deeds, will, church records but have never been able to definitely link him with any of those mentioned in the early Washington Co,Pa tax records.
