Jemima/Gemima Efferson born in Tennessee abt 1812
Does this name appear in anyone’s Efferson research?
Judging from census records it appears that Jemima Efferson (on censuses always sites Tennessee as her birthplace) married Nathan Moore somewhere in Tennessee as their first child (Martha) was also born in Tennessee. Soon after Nathan and Jemima moved to Fountain County, Indiana - Fulton Township where they had at least 7 more children (source: 1850 Federal Census). Sometime between 1850 and 1860 the family moved to Monroe County, Iowa - Cedar Township. On August 02, 1862 Nathan and Jemima’s son (James J) enlisted in the Union Army. After that the family isn’t found in Monroe County, Iowa and I’m not sure where they went or if they died. They aren’t in the same county as their former Union Army son in 1880.
