Hansel

b. circa 1861
  • Father: Daniel b. circa 1836
  • Mother: Sarah b. 11 March 1839
  • Hansel was born circa 1861 in Texas probably at Green Mark Wood's place in Walker County.
  • Following emancipation, Hansel adopted the name Hansel Moses.
  • Although they were married as Daniel Moseley and Sarah Hancel, and in the 1870 census the family is enumerated with the surname Mosely, subsequent records identify family members with the surname "Moses."
  • It is possible that this was an adopted son of Daniel and Sarah, since he was not enumerated with the family in the 1870 census. If so, then his origins are yet to be discovered.
  • Daniel and Sarah appeared in the US federal census of 1 June 1880 in Walker County, Texas. Other members of the household included Hansel, Creasy, Caroline, Frank Moses, Andrew Moses, Mahaley Moses, Elsy Moses and Victoria Moses.
  • He was a farm hand, according to the 1880 census.
