2) 1850 census for Alabama, Franklin County, District 5, stamped page no. 104, enumerated October 28th, 1850 (image 1 of 133 at Ancestry.com)

At Dwelling 7, Visit 7 --

Henry C. Mo?? (surname very hard to read!), age 48, M, Occupation = Boot & Shoe Maker, born in Virginia
Malinda _____, age 24, F, born in ?? (very hard to read!)
Dewet ?? (first name very hard to read, but could possibly be Dewitt) ____, age 22, M, Occupation = C??? (hard to read), born in ?? (very hard to read, but same place as Malinda -- could possibly be "Ala", but not sure)
James W. Higgins, age 33, M, Occupation = M?nc??, real estate = 5000, born in North Carolina

[Note 1: Indexed as Henry C. Mooy by Ancestry.com]
[Note 2: Perhaps Malinda is Belinda, and perhaps she was a Higgins before her marriage to Henry; or perhaps Malinda is Henry's daughter by his first wife.]
[Note 3: Actually, James W. Higgins appears to be the head of the next household, but the dwelling and visit number are written on the line below the his name; other apparent members of his household include Martha, Louisa, Minerva, ?, Peter, & Washington]
[Note 4: This record was found after the other census records, so I already knew that Belinda was Henry's wife by this time]

3) 1860 census for Mississippi, Tishomingo County, Highland Post Office, Page No. 340, enumerated September 6th, 1860 (image 342 of 482 at Ancestry.com):

Dwelling 2263, Visit 2263 --

Henry C. Moses, age 58, M, Farmer, Real estate = 100, Personal estate = 998, born in Virginia
Belinda ______, age 36, F, born in Tennessee
Minerva Higgins, age 16, F, born in Alabama

[Note 1: Due to the large difference in age, I do not know whether Belinda is Henry's wife or daughter or even daughter-in-law]
[Note 2: Living right next door to Henry's parents Peter & Elizabeth]

4) 1870 census for Mississippi, Tishomingo County, Township 5, Range 11, Luke (??) & Highland Post Office, handwritten page No. 7, stamped page No. 370, enumerated September 14th, 1870 (image 199 of 206 at Ancestry.com):

Dwelling 46, Visit 47 --

Moses Henry C, age 67, M, W, Farmer, real estate = 200, personal estate = 278, born in Virginia
_____ Belinda, age 46, F, W, Keeping house, born in Tenn, cannot read, cannot write
_____ Fannie, age 13, F, W, At home, born in Georgia
_____ Thomas, age 10, M, W, works on farm, born in Georgia

[Note 1: It is still not clear whether Belinda is Henry's wife or daughter, or whether she is his daughter-in-law and mother of Fannie and Thomas]

5) 1880 census:

                  Fa: AL      Mo: AL

[Note 1: The 1880 census finally clarifies the relationship between Henry and Belinda; she was indeed his wife; but perhaps she was his 2nd wife]
[Note 2: E. I. Moses in this census might be Edward I. Moses in the 1900 census -- MOSES       EDWARD I       40       M       W       MS       TX       CALDWELL       LULING       1900 as found through HeritageQuest; listed as E. Ira Moses in 1910 and Edward I. Moses in 1920]
