Person:Elizabeth Mosher (2)

MOSIER name attributed based on two items: ELIAKIM file, JER Collection, [my page 59], Sept 1904 note of interview with Tamer THAYER: "grand mother was Elizabeth MOSHER, lived and mother was b in CT", and brother's John & Cyrus were born and died in CT.

A son of Elizabeth, Mosier AMES, came to Geauga Co in 1815. I chose that spelling for his mother's name because that seemed more credible than Tamer's memory; she thought Robert Barkley AMES was "Roswell".
