¹To get to Luna's lineage requires working back from the 1920 census listing of the family of son Andrew Wilson and wife Lurley. Lunia Wilson, as Andrew's mother, and Sarah Moody, as his grandmother, live with the family, and Sarah Moody was 79, approximately the age she would have been if born August 1842. Although Andrew age is sometimes transcribed as being 81, either a very careful examination of the census form or comparison with prior census listing show that the age is really 31.
