I am looking for any information on a boy adopted by John and nancy (Alpaugh)Moss, greencastle, Putnam County, Indiana. James birthday was April 15? 1874 or 1875. I think 1874 is correct according to the 1880 census.

James had 'Moss' uncles and grandparents. Members of that family are as follows; Lucy and Vincent Moss (Kentucky), James Moss, george Moss, Sela Moss (Indiana).

Their was a boarder with John and nancy Alpaugh Moss when James was adopted. her name was Lizzie or eliza Wells. When I ckd on her she had a Lot of Moss relatives, such as Alice Moss, all from Kentucky. All records for that year are missing from Indiana geneology dept.
James is my children's great grandfather.

Thanks, barb hagy/Moss sunshinekids64@gmail.com
