About Our Family Research


My friend has been researching one of his ancestors, JANE MOSELEY, for 10 years with very little success and would like your help. Any information on Jane or any of the allied lines would be greatly appreciated.

JANE MOSELEY b. 1880 in KY, never married but had 7 children by 7 different men. Lived in Leslie Co KY, Harlan Co KY, Claiborne Co TN, and Lee Co VA. Reportedly had a sister named LUCY MOSLEY who married a JIM OSBORNE (AUSBIN) and a brother JAMES MOSLEY. Here's the information we have on her children:

1900 - lived in Cutshin, Leslie Co KY as a servant in the home of FELIX and NANCY TURNER. Had child by Felix, CHESTER TURNER b. 1902 in Pine Mtn, KY. Chester married Martha Curry in Harlan Co KY and resided there and had numerous children.

abt 1902 - Napier, Leslie Co KY - had child BRADLEY, by HENRY MAGGARD. Henry married MATILDA TURNER and they resided in Harlan Co KY and had several children. Bradley married in Harlan Co, moved to TN and had several children.

1904 - KY - had child LUCY reported by DAVE AUSBIN (OSBORNE). Dave was reportedly a married Baptist Minister and denied Lucy when she tried to meet him. He apparently died in a housefire but not sure of date/location. Lucy married Bill West and resided in Tazewell, Claiborne, TN and had 3 children.

1909 - KY - had child, IDA, by SAM KELLY. Ida married first a West, and then a Harvey, and lived in Franklin, OH.

1910 - Claiborne Co TN - in census as servant in the home of THOMAS KELLY (he had sons Ben and Tilmon at home). Her 2 daughters are there with her but the sons are resided with their fathers.

1912 - near Fugate, Claiborne, TN - had child, BERTHA, by BEN KELLY (see above). Bertha married W.G. West and moved to Morristown, TN. She had 3 children.

1916 - TN - had son, WILLIE, by BURL JENNINGS. Willie lived with her for one year, then lived with the HAMMOCKS (sp?) of Gibson Station, VA. Was adopted abt age 5 by JAMES KELLY and POLLY JANE FEE of Caylor, VA. Willie married and moved to KY, OH, and then Oak Ridge, TN where he died. He had several children.

1917 - Rose Hill, Lee, VA. Reportedly died of pneumonia, typhoid fever but cannot find burial or death certificate. Family reports she was buried in this area. Name may have been Jane Kelly plus complicating matters is that she reportedly lived with BURL JENNINGS at this time.

1920 - no documentation of Jane found. Her 3 daughters are living as "foster children" in the home of BEN KELLY and his sister MARY SALINER.

This is all the evidence I have. Any information on Jane, her parents, siblings, partners or her children would be appreciated!
