She married David Henry Coleman December 14, 1824 in Campbell County, VA. He was born 1808 in ?, and died Bet. 1870 - 1880 in Campbell County, Virginia.

Marriage Notes for Elizabeth Moses and David Coleman:
1) From Marriage Index: KY, NC, TN, VA, WV, 1728-1850:

Coleman, David      Spouse : Moses, Eliza S. W.
      Marriage date : Dec 14, 1824

(Campbell County, VA)

2) From the Lynchburg Virginian newspaper of 4/14/1825, p. 3, col. 4, accessed via the Library of Virginia Digital Collections on 1/12/1999:

"Married-On March 30, by Rev. Samuel Davidson, David Coleman, to Miss Eliza Moses, daughter of Peter Moses of Buckingham County, (p. 3, c.4)"

[This date conflicts with the date given above. Perhaps the date above is the date for the marriage license, with the ceremony taking place later.]

      29. Joseph Monroe 'Monroe'⁴ Moses (Peter³, Johann Adam², Johann Peter¹) was born March 08, 1811 in Buckingham County, Virginia, and died June 18, 1878 in Appomattox County, Virginia.

She was born Abt. 1816, and died July 1892 in Appomattox County, Virginia.

Notes for Joseph Monroe 'Monroe' Moses:
1) There is conflicting information which gives his year of death as 1879 and says that he was 65 years old at the time of his death, which would give a birth year closer to 1814.

Notes for Paulina J. Martin:
1) There is conflicting information which gives her name as Paulina J. Martin and her date of death as July 10, 1858.

2) From FHL Film #2056972, Virginia Death Registers, 1853-1912, Item 3, Appomattox County:

Paulina Moses, white
07/10/1860, age 49

Informant = M. Moses, husband

Marriage Notes for Joseph Moses and Paulina Martin:
1) 1850 Census for Virginia, Appomattox County, stamped page no. 169, handwritten page number 337, enumerated August 10th, 1850 (image 27 of 105 at Ancestry.com):

[Note: Indexed as "Moses, Joeph M."]

2) 1860 Census Index for Appomattox County, VA:

      Moses, Joseph M., Hebron P.O., p. 489

3) 1860 census for Virginia, Appomattox County, Post Office Hebron, Page No. 63 (page number 489 written to right-hand side), enumerated August 18, 1860 (Image 63 of 110 at Ancestry.com):

Charles Moses, age 15, M, occupation = Laborer
Mary S. W. Moses, age 12, F
Nancy J. Moses, age 9, F
Nathan A. Moses, age 7, M

Notes for Mary W. ???:
1) Joseph's 2nd wife, Mary W. ??? Moses, appears to have had a sister named Catherine A. ???. Mary is found in the home of Catherine and her husband, Thomas Davenport, in the 1880 census.

Marriage Notes for Joseph Moses and Mary ???:
1) 1870 Census Index:

      Moses, Minroe, Southside TWP, p. 50
      Moses, Mary W., Southside TWP, p. 50 --> Mary Woodson Moses, wife of Charles Thomas Moses, daughter-in-law of Joseph Monroe Moses ?? Or perhaps Mary W. Moses is the 2nd wife of Joseph Monroe Moses; Paulina died in 1866.

2) 1870 Census, State of Virginia, County of Appomattox, Southside Township, Post Office = Pamplin's Depot, Page No. 4 (handwritten), corresponds to page 50-B, enumerated September 2nd, 1870 (Image 100 of 228 at Ancestry.com):

Visit Number 30 --

Moses, Monroe, age 60, M, W, Farm laborer, born in Virginia
_____, Mary W. age 54, F, W, Keeping house, born in Virginia
_____, Mary E., age 20, F, W, At home, born in Viginia
_____, Nannie J., age 18, F, W, At home, born in Virginia
_____, Nathan E., age 17, M, W, Farm laborer, born in Virginia

[Note 1: I had thought, before I saw this data, that perhaps Mary W. Moses was in fact Mary (Woodson) Moses, who was the daughter-in-law of Joseph Monroe Moses. But now seeing that Joseph Monroe Moses and the Mary W. Moses listed with him are nearly the same age, I have come to a different conclusion. I now believe that the Mary W. Moses listed above might be a 2nd spouse for Joseph; his wife Paulina died in 1860, so Joseph would have had ample time to remarry prior to the 1870 census.]
