Severe lack of information available on line.

There was a Benjamin Moss listed as having been born 1846 in Jones, Mississippi who married an Elmida E. b. abt 1855 in Alabama with children listed as:
Pinkney Moss b. 1872 LA
Benjamin Moss b. 1876 LA
James Moss b. 1877 LA

but this information seems suspect.
