Possible Children
Mary Elizabeth Moon*	b. about 1812 possibly SC	d. between 1850-8	m. Benjamin Franklin Jones
Robert D. Moon	b. c	d.	m.
John Moon	b. c	d.	m.
Jesse Moon	b.	d.	m.

*this family is sheer conjecture on my part. I'm still hoping to find confirming records. Anyone with information on these folks should please contact me.

We are very unsure about this connection. It is a sheer guess on my part. This should be considered only a beginning for a long investigation.

We still don't know which of the Moon family was the father of Mary Elizabeth Moon. According to the way I read the record she could be the child of John or Robert D. Moon. Assuming that she was at least 16 years old in 1832 she would have to be about 12 years old in 1820.
